Fun to watch, but at least ESPN is smart enough to SHOW THE FUCKIN SCORE!!!!! I didn't know if they were taking the lead, tying, or what the heck was going on
Yeah, but I didn't know what the score was when all that scoring started
But they didn't show the whole game. The video started a long way into it.
Well what'd ya think of my highlight?
From what I've seen, Americans generally dont get sport unless it has complicated rules, generated music and lots of scoring, when will they learn that a goal is much more exciting than a touchdown because it happens less? That said, I'm not going to rip on their sport too much as Donny is being gradually converted to a West Ham supporter, give him a couple of years and he'll be shouting ICF! while chucking bricks at Millwall pikeys across Green Street!:rockon:
I tend to shy away from sports where the clock counts up instead of counting down. Makes the end of the game seem arbitrary, especially when refs are adding on two, three, or five minutes on a whim.
We now have a board held up at 90 minutes for time added on but if you dont know exactly when it will end it's more exciting, teams trailing by a goal desperately shooting from all over the place because it's their last chance!
Because of tactics!
There's more to our football than you think, if you're playing a team miles better than you, sometimes its best to soak up the pressure and try to hit them on the break, especially if they have home advantage! Thats what West Ham did against skyblues Coventry!
I feel like the clock is such a huge factor on nerves and emotion, because in American sports, it is absolute.m I just don't get the same feeling from soccer.:homo: It's way better than "Time's up!.......except for the next 5 minutes that we're going to add for no apparent reason."But you'll never have the excitement of that great touchdown pass with no time left on the clock, or that long jump shot at the buzzer.
