was called soccer in England too, originally. Thats where the term came from.

These announcers were honestly sitting there on some "should they even bother trying to win the game?"
Wait, did I not see multiple threads this past basketball season dedicated to something called "the tank wars"?
Football and hockey both have ties. I'm sure other sports can have them also. There's gotta be an innings cap in baseball.

I was just watching that history of a beautiful game doc last night and the 1920s(?) era brit commentators were calling it soccer
*bookmarked*
Good news is in a few weeks all this soccer talk goes away to one thread and we don't really have to hear about it for another four years.

A shootout is a pretty shytty way to determine the victor anyway, but that's for another thread, I suppose
Hockey no longer has ties. Football does, but after 15 minutes of OT(basically sudden death). The tying stuff is a bit fugazi...especially in such a big event. The US and Germany can organize a tie and stand around for 90 minutes and advance. It's silly.
Not one of these soccer loving fakkits who negged me or replied in this thread have yet explained why a sport exists where a team would PURPOSELY NOT TRY TO WIN THE GAME.
It's like in the NBA playoffs where the road team only tries to win 1 of the games and are content with losing the other one. Sometimes it's about the big picture not just 1 game.
Plus the counter attack in soccer is much more deadly than in other sports. That's why they were questioning whether they should risk an attack.
But really you are just showing your lack of IQ for the sport and coming off as a complete retard. If you watched the sport regularly and didnt just become a bandwagon fan the minute the WC is here you wouldn't be asking dumbass questions.

Nah, there isn't a cap.
You could conceivably play forever
Imagine if they ended games tied after 12 with a home run derby, that's what this shootout shyt feels lot to me.
whole staff getting tommy John after that game.Nah, there isn't a cap.

I don't quite fully understand soccer. If an underdog wins in basketball, we go crazy. In soccer, if an underdog ties (or draws), they go crazy, like they won the Stanley Cup and NBA Finals at the same time.
fukkin trash ass "sport" if you can even call it that. Before USA scored their 2nd goal the announcers were talmbout if USA should "risk" trying to score again, or just "settle" for the tie and the points.
Say what??
Any sport where there is ever any goal (no pun intended) other than winning at all costs can
What a stupid fukkin sport. Soccer is boring enough to watch when these dudes are actually TRYING, how bad must it be to watch when they are actively trying NOT to score and just play keepaway? Why is this sport allowed to end without a winner? That's not a sport, that's not an athletic competition. The whole point of an athletic game/competition is two people or teams do battle and one must be victorious.
But in soccer, these nikkas can run around for an hour and a half and... nobody wins?
Announcers are screaming like crazy like Godzilla just died.
