A tie means it was a tie, there's nothing socialistic about it, it's a tie. Maybe being raised in a hockey household I accept ties as simply part of the game. And depending on your soccer league (and hockey league) they might not end in ties, many have what's called the "shootout" five guys in turn getting break aways on the other goalie. They make sure there isn't a tie, but I never liked them, it's like switching to a different game in a desperate search for finality, they are exciting but I don't like them as a tie breaking method and hope the NHL never goes to it.
Exactly, it's all about what the people want to watch, Americans aren't into low action high contemplation game. No hit, just how it is. I don't think it's a problem with soccer or America, it's just how it is.
I don't cook, but I do like a good cannoli.
Good luck on the rollerball league.
Find a good italian bakery for the cannolis.
Watch soccer or hockey or lacrosse or what ever you would like--you can tell we're in the summer doldrums when ESPN features poker and bass fishing.
I can't wait for fall and the NFL, NBA, and the baseball playoffs and World Series along with college football and basketball to get going. Notice no mention of the olympics.
In the mean time we have an election campaign that may provide some excitement.
