couldn’t agree more but you’re confusing the action on the field with the action in the boardrooms. I was referring strictly to soccer as a sport. There is no doubt in my mind that lib’ruls embrace it because it promotes that mythical equality of outcome bullstuff whever a game ends in a tie.
You know what’s dumb is that a team gets the same amount of points for an overtime win than a win in regulation. But at least a tie in soccer causes you to drop 2 points.....it takes 3 ties just to equal 1 win.
An example is happening this year in the Italian Serie A....Juventus may not win the title, even though they haven’t lost a game all season, but they have so many ties.
The NHL needs to alter their points system so that a win in regulation is more than a win in overtime....it should be as follows
3 points - regulation win
2 points - OT win
1 point - OT loss
0 points - regulation loss
The NFL should do something of the same thing, an Overtime Win should not be rewarded the same as a regulation win during the regular season.
Ice hockey and football used to end in ties until they changed the rules. And ties are not possible in soccer games once you move into the knockout stages of tournaments.
