And ties in soccer are only in the Group Stage, they go to OT in the knockout stages.

You know, that's not a bad idea! I still consider Deutschland my second home, as I lived in Traben-Trarbach over four years (77-81). Sadly, I've forgotten most of the German I learned during that time.

Next summer will be the 40th anniversary of one of the greatest summers of my life, where I was on temporary assignment to the anti-aircraft range at Todendorf.

At least you don’t have to suffer knowing Michael Bradley’s game. If he plays in the 2022 WC, please shoot me.

I don’t get this notion that a draw is a reward, it’s dropping two points essentially. It now takes three draws to equal one win.

Each team gets one point for a draw, as opposed to zero points for a loss. Therefore, the one point for a draw is a reward for not losing. In my opinion, both teams to a draw are losers and neither should get a point.

You should have an issue with the NFL and NHL which award overtime wins the same as a regulation win. Ditto for College Football, they should go to a points system where a Regulation Win counts more than an overtime win.

An overtime win is still a win and should be treated as such just like an overtime win in soccer.

So a team that wins all their games in regulation should be considered equal with a team that had to go to overtime to win some of their games?

It’s based on speed and accuracy. It’s called practical shooting as most gunfights between perps and cops are at the distance used. There are also farther distances.

I actually just wanted to show animated shooting. I have shot These type matches. They are not for me. I tend to take my time and try to put bullets into the same holes as previous bullets I have shot.

The ONLY way I would watch the World Cup is if they tied me to a chair and glued my eyes open, like something out of a Clockwork Orange.
