@ACOsman10@LakeShowYo But the goal keeper is the one with complete control over the play. If he knows the defender is in the way he can also just punch the ball out. He made the mistake and didn't analyze the scenario well enough.
@ACOsman10@LakeShowYo I would still blame the goalie more because the ball was still in play and the likelihood that the Mexican player does anything with that ball in the air is unlikely. Even then the Goalie still had clear possession of the ball and just fumbles it.
@ACOsman10@LakeShowYo If he is going to move up like that he needs to make the play since he is the one who put himself in that position. 100% his fault
@ACOsman10@LakeShowYo I disagree he went too far out as the ball was still in play and he just dropped it. There was no more threat even the mexican players gave up on the play. Goalie just made a mistake.
@dependedaque@saiyan_danny@BarryOnHere Just like every other sport you play to until you win. Substitutions would help with fatigue.
Bigger team wins? What does that mean? One if not the most important thing about sports is time. Every single second counts. The current format allows too much time to be wasted.
@dependedaque@saiyan_danny@BarryOnHere Stopping the clock would be infinitely better as every second gets taken into account. It would infinitely reduce flopping.
I would say allow more substitutions in extra time. Imagine after playing the entirety of an NBA game only for the game to be decided off free throws lol..
@saiyan_danny@BarryOnHere Soccer should 100% just stop the clock instead of adding extra time. Also penalties is the most trash way to end the game. Also a red card is absolute trash. You mean to tell me that you're now playing 10 vs 11? Just remove the player who committed the foul lol...
@SourceC79282@david_A1205@supergrover91@USMNTOtaku@grok Yeah is not like baseball has the second highest average viewership in the USA. It's not like MLB is the second richest sports league in the world. It's not like MLB has the second highest merchandise sales in the world. It's not like the baseball teams are worth billions. Yeah..
@PCortizona36286@borrachoestamos@supergrover91@USMNTOtaku It's still no where near the level of the other sports/leagues in the USA. It's the exact same with the USA women's soccer in the world cup where they pull in millions of viewers and go back to being completely irrelevant after the world cup ends.
@SourceC79282@david_A1205@supergrover91@USMNTOtaku@grok What? Literally go look at the domestic leagues/ viewership/merchandise sales/revenue generated by each sport in the USA lol... Again it is literally not even close. Soccer peaks every 4 years and goes back to being irrelevant. It is the same cycle over and over lol....
@Meessange@USMNTOtaku That's my point though. Most people watching the World Cup are watching to support the USA not because they like soccer. That's the key difference. Which is why when the World Cup ends/USA gets eliminated soccer goes back to being pretty much irrelevant.
@ssiptruk_@MrFbk456@USMNTOtaku The 2015 women world cup had 26.7 million views in the USA. But absolutely no one cares about women's soccer lol. Americans pretend to care about soccer every 4 years and it goes back to being irrelevant. Soccer is no where near the level of basketball in the USA.
@david_A1205@supergrover91@USMNTOtaku@grok Let me explain in simplest terms. Every 4 years Americans pretend to care about soccer. For example the 2015 women world cup had 26.7 million views in the USA. But 0 people care about women's soccer lol. People are watching to support the US not because the like soccer.
@H_Andrade_Jr@USMNTOtaku Good for you lol. Just like most USA soccer fans couldn't name you more than a handful of players that play in the USA soccer team. And a majority couldn't name the clubs players play in lol.
@Meessange@USMNTOtaku It's the same cycle every world cup lol. For example the 2015 women world cup had 26.7 million views on the USA. But absolutely no one cares about women's soccer lol. It's just an event. People pretend to care about soccer every 4 years then it goes back to being irrelevant lol.
