Here is your excuse note for the game today.

TIME to give them Krauts hell!

I'd settle for a draw...or a draw in the Portugal-Ghana match. I don't care how we get through, I just want to get through.

Man, what a game last night. It's too bad the USA lost.

USA didn't lose. :huh:

This is my biggest problem with soccer and hockey, for that matter. I've played and watched sports for my entire 33 years of life on this planet (I was a great point guard up to my 2nd bday). I just dont understand how you can play something for 2 hours and then end in a tie. What is the point of playing if nobody wins or loses. Granted I'm not from Brazil or Canada, so that's a strike against me for both sports, but I just cant get past that in my head. I won't play or watch a sport that may not end with a winner.

you don't end in a tie for hockey...during regular season at the end of regulation if the score is tied you each get a point, then there is extra time 4 on 4. Still tied after that then shoot out until one team wins and they get the second point. Playoffs you keep playing until someone scores in extra time.

What about American football? Ties are possible there as well.

 

[roadwreck]

And it's not like baseball games ever end in a tie...

The elimination games can't end in ties. As MP mentioned, ties in american football are possible also.

That just shows how much i know about Hockey (near nothing). Haven't ever seen or heard of a tie in football, but then again i'm not much of a football fan.

 

[snickerd3]

^their was a tie last season. Green bay vs vikings?

 

[knight1fox3]

I believe so. GB fans were pretty ticked off at that. Mainly because people thing another round of over-time should be allowed to decide a winner. While I agree, the players' health factors into too I imagine.

 

[snickerd3]

we lost but we won....

 

[snickerd3]

interestng turn of events

 

[knight1fox3]

So what happened then?

 

[snickerd3]

we lost to germany,portugal beat ghana, but the point differential with portugal went in our favor.

 

[MetsFan]

The first round is like regular season. Doesn't matter if you win or lose as long as you're in second place by the end of it.

I have to agree with Rick and Bubba on this one. That sounds like a cheer you hear at girls softball games. Sorry...
