That socialist sports thing is really ridiculous, but I gotta admit soccer lost me at the 0-0 score thing. How do you determine who wins or goes to the next level of a championship if the game has no score?

am getting off line in a few, as the library will be closing soon. And no I haven't sat here all day like a lardass, I was here in the morning and came back again later. LOL So I'll have to answer posts tomorrow.

Normally, you go to extra time - play two extra halves of fifteen minutes each. If even that fails, you go to penalties - taking a series of five shots each at goal, with the keeper defending. (Bear in mind that this is necessary whether the score be 0-0 or 6-6.) That is how Italy lost the final in 1994 in the USA, to Brazil. Incidentally, I was house-sharing with a Brazilian lady at the time, and while I would not have minded, she got so tense that she withdrew to watch the game in her own room. At the end of it, I knocked at her door and told her that the best team on the day had won.

Well, that makes sense--like extra innings in baseball.
