you play til someone wins. End of discussion.

no one wants to play for 2 hours and get a fucking tie.

At least there are several ways for teams in Football to win.

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
