I grew up in the greatest god damn country in the fucking world, do you really think I would be jealous of your inferior europoor sport?
You will never experience what it's like playing in your football stadium of 15,000 screaming teenage girls as you throw a game-winning touchdown and your cheerleader girlfriend waits for you by your convertible car after the game to go to a high school party.
checkmate, yuropoor. go back to cleaning my bathroom.
>>67323556

That can happen without that dumb away goal rule, not to mention pretty much anyone would love more shootouts instead of "lol, draws"

FUCK NO. Thats the main problem in America, their 'show business spirit', nobody wants to see his loved football team in a penalty shootout to win, is a fucking nightmare. But all neutral amerifags are like ''lol this is funny, like a Hollywood movie''
>>67324094
By that logic no team should play, nobody would want to see their loved football team lose.

wut? the unlogical thing was to say that any fan would love to see ''penalty shootouts'' because they are enjoyable. Thats why I said in the OP that winning by penalties is too much joy (because it was too much suffering before)
>>67323699
>>67323905
Only if the defense completely shits the bed (allows a touchdown) or scores on the opponent themselves (defensive touchdown or a safety), otherwise the opponent will have a chance to score.

I don't really like it either but i get the logic. Without it, most teams playing the away leg would just resort to horrible bus parking in order to get a 0-0 and score when they're at home.
>>67323556

It's because in football playing away is considered an actual disadvantage. The crowd often called the 12th player.
You will never experience the thrill of seeing 2 giant teams battling it out at a classic arena like Wembley, San Siro or Camp Nou.
You will never understand football because you are too thick.

>Are you implying underdogs don't win in NA sports?
I can't see an actual underdog in american sports... every year I see different teams in Superbowl, like ''every city has the right to win!''. Look Leicester, 132 years of emptiness until yesterday, I can see a /lifelong/ literally thinking it was the best day of his entire life, and that feeling it's hard to find with drafts, franchises, 2-year dinasties and shit like that...

Just because you can't see it (because you don't watch) doesn't mean it does not exist.

That's pretty sad if the best day of your life revolves around other men's accomplishments. It's just a fucking game.
>and that feeling it's hard to find with drafts
Drafts are THE best thing about NA sports. Imagine you're a fan of Rayo or Eibar, and you have a chance at a generational talent like Messi. This doesn't happen in your league, because the best go to Barca or Real, and if you're not a fan of them, you're shit out of luck

No, it isn't. And i'm not a huuuuge sports fan, but people here literally live for their team.

The thing is, NA sports seems to push every team, so everybody can win the main title someday. Here not everything is about winning, for Eibar or Rayo playing in first division is a reason for joy, and if they even win Real Madrid in the National Cup, it's probably the highlight of many seasons. And fans are happy with that.

Well that's just sad and pretty pathetic. Live for family, live for friends. live for you...live for a fucking soccer team that you don't even play on? LOL no.
>NA sports seems to push every team, so everybody can win the main title someday
What's wrong with that? This should be wanted by you guys especially, since so many people over there "live for their team"
>Here not everything is about winning, for Eibar or Rayo playing in first division is a reason for joy
So just playing the game is enough? LOL that's fucking retarded. Absolute cuck mentality too.
>And fans are happy with that.
Two reasons for this: one, they don't know any better (and would trade an even league for the shit they have to suffer with IN A HEARTBEAT), and two, these types who live and die with their lower level teams while knowing they can't possibly win (and are okay with this according to you) sound like dumb provincials who only like things because that's what their supposed to little, and have probably never had an original thought in their lives.

Here, history counts. Legendary one-club players, historic rivalries that makes ordinary matches into extraordinaries (Barça-Madrid, Lazio-Roma, River-Boca...), when Athletic Bilbao won the Supercup against Barça last summer, it was their first title in 30 years, 30 years of struggling, not thanks to arab-money like City, or drafts or systems that helps small teams. I bet you can see why it feels better winning that way...
>>67323556
There are penalty shootouts in hockey all the time. Not in the playoffs because we want the teams to actually earn their victories.
Buzzer beaters, and even shots that miss at the buzzer, are literally 10000000x better than allowing a game to go on for a subjective amount of time after the whistle
The jets beat the pats last season. The browns beat a team, there's two examples of underdogs in one sport in the same season without referring to Google
YOU WILL NEVER GET BACK THE TIME YOU WASTED WATCHING A SOCCER GAME END 0-0
so if
Team A: great defense horrible offense
Team B: great offense horrible defense
you are saying that it's actually fair that team A passes because of the coin toss?
>>67325784
>Not in the playoffs because we want the teams to actually earn their victories.
And you complain about 0-0 because is boring... at least it was only 90 minutes, not 7 fucking games where I already know that the best team is going to win... Im not really into NFL, but if their system is similar to NBA, your conception of 'underdog' is way different than soccer underdogs (Jets winning Pats were 5000:1 in the bets?)

You see, teams struggle here too. Here is a list from MLB only:
Astros - 54 yrs
Rangers - 55 yrs
Indians - 67 yrs
Cubs - 107(!) yrs
You may think that the system in place creates virtually a new champion all the time, but that's CLEARLY not the case. You still need sound management and a bit of luck. Your leagues on the other hand, is tilted so far towards the teams with arab oil money that it gives the weak teams no hope at all (Leicester notwithstanding). NA leagues have an objectively better system for the smaller teams, and this cannot be argued. You may not realize it, but you would enjoy your sport SO much more if it was structured like ours.

>>67326480

>>67324728
Rather than award goals, why not award draws and wins like in the group stages? Something like the following...
Team gets 3 points for win.
Away team gets 2 points for draw.
Home team gets 1 point for draw.
>>67326480
With that logic, you shouldn't take pride in your nation because you didn't literally build it.
You shouldn't take pride in your community because they have nothing to do with you
You shouldn't take pride in your family because they are not you.
Being in a group of people who all love the team as much as you, yelling, singing and screaming and seeing the team succeed is the greatest feeling in the world and it's saddening that you're too unpassionate to care or understand how it.
Also, unlike in the shitty American franchise system (barring Green Bay) many of these clubs are fan-owned.

Your Football club LITERALLY represents all of that. The Town of Leicester was Literally ablaze when they won the league, not because a bunch of strangers won it, but because a team representing them, their city, their colors won. Professional footballers very much care about the fans, for a lot of them, it's the largest motivation, it's the reason playing away is such a disadvantage in Football, because the amount of emotional support given off by the atmosphere that fans create can be incredibly inspiring or crushing depending on which team you're on.
But it's alright, keep going with your individualistic and selfish view on life. Just know that you are willingly excluding yourself from something great
>>67324464
>everyone loves shootouts m8
Unless your team is in it, then it's the most horrible thing in the world.
I think my fellow countrymen are just buttfrustrated that a literal-who shitter like Jamie Vardy can come in from the minors and just fuck shit up.
Even in other leagues like La Liga/bundes/ligue 1/calcio; the newly promoted team usually gets BTFO but this year was special.
And in regards to the rules, just consider "hack-a-howard", pass interference/unnecesary roughness, and others.

What is it about then? The sense of community you feel when cheering for your "club"? I get there is some value in that, but living and dying based on the results of your club suggests a life without much else going on. Judging by the interviews of soccer fans I've seen, this isn't far from the truth.
>>67326835
I forgot Relegations and Promotions, truly amazing experiences that NA sports can't have, sadly... I'm from Leganés, tiny hood in Madrid, and they could promote to 1st Division for the first time in their history this season. All the city is fucking thrilled, and yes, they may go back to 2nd Division next year, but just playing against Real Madrid or Barcelona is a prize for the team and the fans...
>>67326794

The previously thought 20th best team in the league wins the NFL/NBA/NHL/MLB fairly frequently, but they're never 5000:1
The only place in American (team) sports that has the kind of open system that could create those underdogs is college sports. But Appalachian State didn't win the National Championship that year they beat Michigan, and Boise State choked their shot at a NCG away by missing a field goal.

Ok, to us that's weird. That's bandwagoner behaviour, like a kid from Wales who supports Chelsea to see if they win.
I guess it's to do with how localised clubs are here. Most people have a club within a few miles or so.
If you grow up around a group of people centered around the same club that your grandad did then you might feel a bit different.

Several of the current professional teams in the Big 4 are too new to have that kind of community. Also, only baseball takes anywhere near as much of the calendar as soccer.
In may places, the central team that everyone supports is for a school. Every wasteland of a town has a high school with a football team the way that every fucking block of England has a soccer club. The biggest stadiums in the world are for American college football. That's where you'll find all the traditions and singing and community. But you can't post this fact on /sp/ without a big old

But to think that people could feel the same attachment to, say, the Tennessee Titans that they do to the Tennesse Volunteers just because the Titans are pros is stupid
>>67327507
they were 5000:1 because last year they almost relegate to Championship, and they had basically the same players this year.
I'm not saying that in US the bets are always certain, but they are not underdogs, their chances to win were what? 10:1? It wasnt THAT crazy for Clippers or Blazers or whoever...
Guys. Seriously guys. I want someone to tell me why value the away goal rule provides.
Please. I want to understand.
>>67327749
It's supposed to stop the away team defending for a 0-0. They will come out and attack if there is added value in a goal.
Imo they should still play extra time before away goals.
If American Football is so superior why isn't it popular all over the world?
>>67327811
Is there any current thinking as to why they don't do extra time?
>>67327824
Because the rest of the world simply isn't euphorically fedora enough.
>>67327811
Not really, that means that the team that's playing away from home in the second leg has more of an advantage because they have 120minutes to get an away goal.
>>67327846
Well wouldn't that be uneven time between fields? That's the whole point of playing home-and-home, right?
My big issue with aggregate in general is the assumption that goals are equally easy to score between games and venues. It's not just switching sides of a field.
>>67323556

Furpuck has better shootouts than divegrass by a long shot

First match ends 0-0, second match can be 2-1, and if the team equalizes 2-2, there's still needed an extra time, so both teams can chill out till the 90 mins ends.
WITH AWAY GOALS VALUE
First match ends 0-0, second match: 2-1 (team A pass round), if the other team equalizes 2-2 (team B pass round), now team A must go full attack again, 3-2 (team A pass round), now team B must go attack as well... as there is no extra time in sight, matches can go FULL emotional (like team B scoring the 3-3 in the last second, and it's a fucking explosion of joy).
Europe can make good comeback shows this way, like a triple shot in the buzzer, dont you think muricans?

What this guy says
>>67327884
True but the other team has home advantage for the extra 30 minutes. When it gets down to the crunch the home crowd matters more.
>You will never experience winning a penalty shootout, or an equalizer in extra time, or an underdog winning much bigger teams.
Literally no one has a problem with these, what we have an issue with is that stupid archaic away goals rule and subjective stoppage time based on however the ref feels instead of just stopping the clock ruling out all possiblities of MUH FERGIE TIME or some such
>>67327824
because poor people cant afford the equipment

The chick who set the odds is retarded. Literally said "it's more likely that big foot exists than a healthy team full of professional 0-0ball players will win their league"
It was unlikely that they would win, yes, but 5000:1 odds is absolutely retarded and only given so that this story would exist today
>>67327884
Exactly. It's well known that it's better to play at home second.
>>67327723
Ok I get that they were almost kicked out, but that does not seriously lead to a 5000 (five) (thousand) to 1 (one) odds. 1000, sure, I'll even give you 2000, but not 5000

The regular season/playoff structure of North America sports is far, far superior to Yurop's. I can't imagine how boring it is to be a Yuropoor sports fan. Not only do they watch just one sport, their league and tournament structure is simply awful and anti-climatic.
>You can win the title with a fuckin' tie.
>You can get rewarded for actually losing via the away goal rule.
>No playoff tournament to decide the winner
On the last point, Yuros will claim that actually determines the best overall team, but what if a key player on the best team gets injured for the half the season and comes back later in the season? His team will likely already be too far behind in the standings and that team can't redeem itself in the playoffs, while the "luckier" and healthier team wins the title.
We used to have that structure for baseball (best regular season record wins their respective league title) and we realized how flawed and drama-less it is. Imagine this NBA season with that. Golden State would've won the title 24 games in.
The best of 7 game format is the greatest thing conceived by man for sports.
>Yuros (aside from Scandis who watch the NHL) will never know the highs and lows of a back and forth 7 game series.
>Yuros will never watch the ultra rare feat of a team coming back from a 0-3 deficit.
And although the NFL doesn't employ a best of 7, Yuros will never know
>18-1
>>67323556
>You will never experience winning a penalty shootout,
Happens routinely in the NHL.
>or an equalizer in extra time
Happens in baseball. The bottom of the 9th is basically extended "extra time." Also, extra time is retarded. Teams should know exactly how much time they have left.
>or an underdog winning much bigger teams.
All the time. Before the Leicester meme, the longest odds all happened in North American sports.

Who gives a shit?
>or an underdog winning much bigger teams.
We already have those, though.
>>67327130
>I forgot Relegations and Promotions
We get that feeling with the playoffs. You can basically consider the long regular seasons in baseball, basketball, and the NHL the "Tier 2" league, and the playoffs the "Tier 1" league.
When a perennial bottom feeder finally puts together a good enough season to make the playoffs, the fans go wild, even if that team doesn't win a title.
>team wins a game in the tournament
>eliminated from the tournament
Nice """"""sport""""""
>>67327130
>Relegations and Promotions
That system only tries to bring relevance towards games involving bottom feeders and losers. Americans have no time for that shit.

That happens way more here.

Kansas City is at the top of the division.
Detroit could take the top of the division if they win the rest of their games, and Kansas the rest of theirs.
Detroit loses to Cleveland, so Kansas then clinches the division.
How is that different than this?
Leicester is first in the leauge.
Tottenham could still win the league if they win the rest of their games, and Leicester lose/draw the rest of theirs.
Tottenham draw Chelsea, so Leicester then win the League.
