Real sports break ties by playing the game in question. Here are some examples: Baseball- extra innings (of baseball). Football (NFL - college has strayed down dark path) - Overtime, where they play football. Basketball - they continue to play basketball. I could go on, but you seem to lack the ability to get points (fitting for a soccer fan).
Now if soccer truly is the game a lot of you people tell us it is, they game I saw in '94 - with controlled subtle violence, a chess match of varied strategies and reactions, marathon like endurance and glorious skills, then you are a complete idiot if you are trying to tell me that these qualities are found in your darling lil shoot-outs. And as long as you give away your jumbo-sized golden snow cone to the winner of a shootout, you do not have a legitimate sport. Unless of course you think the intricacies of "Will he kick it left - maybe even right?" while the rest of the team stands around making their thumbs brown and smelly is a sport. It may be, but then you should probably join a Candy Land league - such skill and excitement. Had you been listening, I didn't say change the rules to accommodate me. They should be changed for those who claim to enjoy actual soccer. Take a tip from the Scotsman - when in an indefensible position - just stay quiet.
