3, THREE!, 0-0 ties in one day.

S0-0ccer fans will actually rationalize that.

[apalisoc_9]

You looked up the D-League version of the English premier league?

That's like looking up the D-League of the Chinese basketball association..dude you ok?

[Clipper Nation]

And two 1-1 ties for good measure. This "sport" is the liberals' wet dream: nobody loses and everybody gets a trophy.

3 ties in a top league. Not 0-0, but ties nonetheless. And why does S0-0ccer always have the same scoring lines? 2-0, 2-1, 1-0. Very rarely are we treated to something unpredictable in this silly ass "sport."

I love the snoozeball vs beisbol rivalry but damn, you trolled using the AA equivalent of soccer :lol

0-0 ties in soccer aee more exciting than 10-9 games in beisbol

In soccer even if it's scoreless, there is still action

In beisbol, regardless of the score, nothing is really happenin

Soccer : calories burned
Beisbol : empty calories

It's basically a 2 horse race between him and Ronaldo. Most wetbacks think it's Messi, while the Eurotrash prefer Ronaldo.

[apalisoc_9]

Messi is nowherebbear GOAT...That's like saying Kobe is GOAT

:lmao

He's not even top 2 in the last 20 years. Ronaldo Brazil and Robaldo Portugal sre the two best in the last 20 years.

I just searched "Messi GOAT" and got a lot of hits, tbh:lol..is this a case of ":lol today's soccer" bitterness?

[apalisoc_9]

Messi is one of the top 5 players in history in terms of individual statistical feats.

But I just dont understand soccer fan logic in general. He hasnt won the world cup or continental cup ( the most important titles in a GOAT resume) you need to have at least one...

He's been playing with stacked teams..Heck Argentina is the most talented nation upfront. Higuin, Aguero etc all play like superstars in thei lr respective clubs but is reduced to sideshlw bobs in Argentina.

Nope, not Sidenaldo. Messi is definitely on the GOAT debate though.

[ElNono]

It's because they have to sit for at least 1-2 hours of commercials every game on every sport. You better have a winner at the end, tbh...

Happens in the top leagues too. I only trolled since lefty trolled (also using minor leagues), figured I make fun of S0-0ccer's tie problem, checked the latest scores, and of course there was like 50 ties across all leagues :lol

[140]

Nope, not Sidenaldo. Messi is definitely on the GOAT debate though.
:rolleyes


None of them are

[midnightpulp]

btw, I don't understand Staters irrational problem with draws, tbh. :lol

The purpose of any game/sport is to WIN.

When foobaw had a couple of ties this season, it was like a national story and the media was crying foul. If a game or sport produces a lot of ties, that's an example of poor game design, i.e. tic-tac-toe.

Soccer is the worst designed major sport on the planet. Ties, poor comeback factor, predictable scoring lines, disproportionate awards for penalties, Mario Party. But they lightly jog around, so I guess it's "exciting."

[Mitch]

I'm not sure, but it's a game of skill in my book. I used to think it was a joke since bowling is easy, but I found out they oil the isles in pro games.

So you are going to seat there and pretend like the guy that will end up as the all-time leader in goals, assists and championships in all of Europe doesn't even belong in the GOAT discussion? Ok. :lol

[Silver&Black]

That's half the problem right there. I will give you credit though. At least you're talking about draws. Most Povertyball fans on ST don't even go near it because they know that it's an unwinnable debate.

It's called competition. Excuse me for wanting a winner/loser to be decided at the end of the it.

Soccer could easily implement extra time and/or shootouts after every draw in domestic competition, but the rest of the World doesn't have this irrational hate for draws, tbh. :lol

[midnightpulp]

Through a Mario Party minigame, which is a travesty. And don't come with tradition bullshit. You should know they used to play until a winner was declared back in the old days, even if the match had to last multiple days.

That's a much better solution.

":cry But you can't expect World Cup attendees and the audience to have that kind of patience :cry"

Why not? Imagine the hype for the next leg in such a match. It would be like a pseudo-7 game series.

[midnightpulp]

Soocer could easily implement extra time and/or shootouts after every draw in domestic competition, but the rest of the World doesn't have this irrational hate for draws, tbh. :lol

Cognitive dissonance. The rest of the world rationalizes that shit because it occurs in the sport most of them consider a religion. They simply can't accept its shortcomings, much like a believer couldn't/wouldn't accept their faith's illogic.

You should know they used to play until a winner was declared back in the old days, even if the match had to last multiple days.I'm not a Tennis guy at all....can't even told you who won Wimbledon last year. But, I remember a few years ago that one match that lasted 3 days because the two guys couldn't break each others serve. That match will go down in Tennis history because of its length. You play till a winner is decided...plain and simple.

They played a 138 game 5th set....:wow

Same could be said the other way around. Staters think every single game needs to have a winner 'cause they are already used to that, even though it makes more sense for a long competition, like soccer leagues or regular seasons in professional US sports, to contabilize draws in the standings.

[Clipper Nation]

btw, I don't understand Staters irrational problem with draws, tbh. :lol

We barely tolerate ties in real sports like football, baseball (yes, it's happened (http://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2016/09/29/cubs-pirates-tie-game-rainout) in extremely rare cases), and hockey (before the NHL invented the shootout) where there's actual drama, tension and athletic ability on display. No way are we going to sit through 0-0 ties in floptrot where both teams spend all their energy on flopping and parking the bus instead of scoring.

[DAF86]

Why do you put so much stock into NT competition? Tournaments are played once every 4 years and teams are less competitive than their club counterparts.

Because in football that's when the stakes are at their highest. They're the only competitions that really matter. You know that, you just don't want to admit it because your boy usually fails to show up for them.

Honestly, why would I ever give a fuck about random club cups and leagues that happen every year all the way in fucking Europe? :lol

Most hardcore fans prefer for his club to win the Champions League/Copa Libertadores than see his NT win the World cup.

And lol at "Messi doesn't show up for the WC". He has a WC Golden Ball, you can argue if he deserved it or not (he did), but you can't deny that he "showed up" enough for him to be in the discussion and eventually win it, tbh.

Actually the fans from the countries with the most cups are the ones that are hardcore enough to prefer club success over country succes. Fans from countries that have yet to taste WC success are the ones that care more about their NT. A guy like lefty would give his left nut for Irak/Iran, or whatever terrorist country he is from, to win the WC, tbh.

Some people might be like that, some aren't. The fact is that stakes are way higher in NT competitions, and rightfully so, since you have a whole nation counting on you.

Problem with awarding points for ties in a league table, whether it's a soccer league, hockey league, baseball league, whatever, is that it promotes cheap tactics/strategies. Baseball, for example. Instead of a manager being forced into a difficult decision of whether or not to bring in his closer in a bottom of the 9th, tie game situation (or risk saving him for later innings), the decision becomes automatic. In the NFL, a team would just milk the clock with a run heavy or dink and dunk attack if they were facing a long drive to win (think of how passive teams get just before half time in that situation).

In soccer, teams just park to preserve ties. It's cheap.

There's really no excuse for ties, in any sport.
