OT: The 2026 World Cup Thread

[TommyD4207]

The tie score in soccer makes it difficult to watch...

It should always go to a sudden death...

That way if you want to see the action... you can watch the last 15 minutes.

1 Hour of running your ass off trying to score, and then a bunch of difficult free kicks... and the opposing team gets to answer.

If you cant score in 1 hr... why do you need another half hour.

Tough to do in group play, so many matches, teams advance on points.

In the knockout rounds, I don't hate that. I would be fine with getting rid of PKs, and just making 'extra time' sudden death. Keep going until there's a winner. Settling on PKs is stupid to me, a dumb way to finish what's presumably a pretty great game otherwise.

The current extra time/PK combination is what happens when people cry that 'Josh Allen never touched the ball in overtime', btw. 1 to 1 comparison.
