  - LOL you're not following the game much huh? - Dándukini Jul 1, 14:33 5

- That was here in Chico -- nm - amoxy Jul 1, 14:22
- I believe that would violate housing discrimination laws. -- nm - ty97 Jul 1, 14:10 1
  - "ederal law prohibits discrimination based on many factors, including race, religion, national origin, familial status, disability, and sex." -- (link) - ty97 Jul 1, 14:11
- I believe that's been discussed here as one type of case where the rationale could be applied, yes. -- nm - znufrii Jul 1, 14:10
that was a nice bit of goalkeeping -- nm - Zorcàs Jul 1, 14:06

Ahh, a sport where the announcers feel they should remind you "today there must be a winner." -- nm - Ender Jul 1, 13:39 56
- he's placed big bets with bookies in each country playing the difference in odds, so a tie means he loses both so one team *must* win -- nm - zuitgusto Jul 1, 14:02
- as announcer you should always be on the same levels as your awerage viewer -- nm - Dándukini Jul 1, 13:59
- [deleted] 1
  - It isn't moronic to consider that a possibility when other championship games end in ties. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 1, 14:56
- at this point I just assume you watch to come up with things to troll. -- nm - mafaça Jul 1, 13:48 1
  - Well, that and to pretend that those sideline clock thingies are product placement for that animated Oscar short. -- nm - Ender Jul 1, 13:51
- Why is it inconceivable that on some days the teams are evenly matched and nobody deserves to win? -- nm - Zorcàs Jul 1, 13:43 49
  - no sport should ever end in a tie. It defeats the concept of competing. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 1, 13:46 46
    - not really -- nm - Dándukini Jul 1, 14:07
    - Nah, if a 100 metre dash can end in a tie, any sport can -- nm - Roger More Jul 1, 14:07 18
      - That shouldn't end in a tie either. Again they're just not properly measuring it. -- nm - Ender Jul 1, 14:12 3
        
        "We'll go to the subatomic level". I'm not sure how you'd break ties in sports like diving or gymnastics either -- nm - Roger More Jul 1, 14:15 2
        
        "No fair! You changed the result by measuring it!" -- nm - Reagen Jul 1, 14:21
        
        Oh, those aren't real sports either. At best they're athletic artistic displays. -- nm - Ender Jul 1, 14:18
      - that does not count! - groiny Jul 1, 14:08 12
        
        groiny's rules are written in bizzaro land -- nm - Dándukini Jul 1, 14:09 11
        
        he's a walking definition of ex post facto. -- nm - Reagen Jul 1, 14:12
        
        they might be. - groiny Jul 1, 14:10 9
        
        in the league phase its custumary in football just like it's customary to be padded in eeg ball -- nm - Dándukini Jul 1, 14:12 7
        
        eag balls? -- nm - groiny Jul 1, 14:14 6
        
        year migh be a solution - Dándukini Jul 1, 14:16 5
        
        Multiball?! Now there's an idea! Sudden death overtime, every 3 minutes you put another ball in play! We may have just fixed soccer! -- nm - Ender Jul 1, 14:21 4
        
        or just remove a player on each side, make them run in a more open field. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 1, 14:23
        
        sudden death has been tried it was crap -- nm - Dándukini Jul 1, 14:23 2
        
        Right, because it was missing the awesomeness of multiball!!! -- nm - Ender Jul 1, 14:25 1
        
        multiball is the usual solutions from a blonde when discussing footy in the jokes here -- nm - Dándukini Jul 1, 14:28
        
        in the league phase ts custumary in football just like it's customary to be padded in eeg ball -- nm - Dándukini Jul 1, 14:12
      - coin toss! -- nm - Dándukini Jul 1, 14:08
    - Agreed. I was never happier about college football than when CFB got ready of ties. -- nm - David Jul 1, 13:56
    - there have been plenty of NFL games that both teams played so badly that neither should get points for a win. -- nm - Zorcàs Jul 1, 13:53
    - not really, it just allows for a wider view of what constitutes a "competition" - znufrii Jul 1, 13:50 21
      - you play til someone wins. End of discussion. - groiny Jul 1, 14:03 20
        
        you do know that you have maximun of 3 substituions right? -- nm - Dándukini Jul 1, 14:09 6
        
        they should score faster then. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 1, 14:09 5
        
        ohh they could also tie at 16-16 at end of time so that a stupid argument -- nm - Dándukini Jul 1, 14:10 4
        
        well, then they should play better defense then. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 1, 14:11 3
        
        both team in a 16-16 have really bad defence equally bad you might say -- nm - Dándukini Jul 1, 14:13 2
        
        aah, your defense only has to be one goal better than the other guys. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 1, 14:14 1
        
        the cutting point is when the ref ends the game -- nm - Dándukini Jul 1, 14:16
        
        the only winner is the one who gets to raise the trophy at the end of the campaign -- nm - znufrii Jul 1, 14:08 12
        
        that makes no fucking sense at all. -- nm - groiny Jul 1, 14:09 11
        
        no less sense than claiming if you don't win the World Series or Super Bowl, the season was a failure. -- nm - znufrii Jul 1, 14:12 9
        
        well, in theory, it is true. You play, to win, the championship. - groiny Jul 1, 14:13 8
        
        right, so if only the championship matters, having a win/loss outcome in each game is not necessary. - znufrii Jul 1, 14:19 7
        
        in order to win, the teams with best records get in, right? - groiny Jul 1, 14:22 6
        
        in soccer it's 3 points for a win, 1 for a tie -- nm - znufrii Jul 1, 14:26 3
        
        and yes, highest score at the end of the season gets the trophy -- nm - znufrii Jul 1, 14:27 2
        
        which is poopies. You want the team that wins the most games to get in, not the one who plays to tie. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 1, 14:28 1
        
        You play 38 matches in the EPL....you need roughly 30-35 points to guarantee you get to stay in the EPL. The champs are usually around 80 iirc - Hunta Jul 1, 14:32
        
        used to be 1/2 not it's 1/3 -- nm - Dándukini Jul 1, 14:24 1
        
        -not + now -- nm - Dándukini Jul 1, 14:24
        
        offside is when the ref says so -- nm - Dándukini Jul 1, 14:11
    - I disagree -- nm - Zorcàs Jul 1, 13:49
    - And speaks to the sport inadequately measuring the quality of the teams. -- nm - Ender Jul 1, 13:47
  - One side must emerge victorious! -- nm - znufrii Jul 1, 13:45
  - Win or win not, there is no tie. -- nm - TWuG Jul 1, 13:43

  - But in Celsius, it's only 47. -- nm - Zorcàs Jul 1, 13:41
  - you choose to live there! you don't get to complain! -- nm - peggy ann m Jul 1, 13:39 2
    - i'm not complaining. i'm just saying it's not 117 where he is, which would make his eating outside unbearable. i'm happily inside with my AC -- nm - peglegpete Jul 1, 13:42 1
      - wait ..that ,eans *I* get to complain...its freakin inthe 90's man, waiting at the dentist with the furball dog -- nm - zuitgusto Jul 1, 13:57
