Also for anyone who wants to interject that competitions like the champions league have the away goals rule that makes one goal go from losing to winning, keep in mind that that is because of a rule in the competition, not because of a basic rule that applies to every soccer game. If it was something that could happen in every game like with our sports, then no matter what competition it's part of it could be more interesting.

This isn't one of those threads where people go "here's my plan of how to fix soccer". This isn't that easy to fix, it's a symptom of the entire setup of the sport as a whole, meaning soccer itself is flawed. However, because Americans have been spoiled with actually exciting sports to watch, soccer is just not going to be better than any of them. It's impossible, the best you can hope for is to put band-aids on it like punishing flopping and diving harder.

In essence, there's just much more volatility in American sports. Every single year in every sport we see something genuinely amazing that's still captivating even though we see amazing things all the time. Every now and then there's something that nobody has ever seen before at all, and it's enthralling. When it comes to soccer though, the individual display of athleticism that goes into some of the goals may be impressive, but compared to our sports it's a lot rarer to find an individual game that makes people go "Wow, that game was really exciting even out of context". Basically, soccer is too stable, too stuck in a mold or living by some formula. It's not chaotic enough. If it was, things like 7-1 would happen much more routinely, and the once-in-a-generation events would be even crazier.


In short, the very nature of soccer makes it a boring sport.

--Membership and Applications--

The .700 Club welcomes a new member for the first time this season with the Vikings. You pretty much only beat up on shit teams though, so your application was only begrudgingly accepted. Try not to make us regret it.

Jets application for re-entry FUCKING DENIED. This is what you get for acting like you finally mean something with Rex gone. It will always go south sooner or later, and don't you forget it.

Applications will re-open when someone hits 6-3, which will probably be after week 10. All you starry-eyed mediocres waiting for a call up to the big boy table gotta eat your veggies to prove you deserve it.

--The Blacklist--

A third of the league is now on the blacklist. The Cowboys and Bears decided they might as well just give up, and join the Lions, 49ers, Ravens, Browns, Texans, Titans, Jaguars, Chiefs, and Chargers. Fuck that's a lot of AFC teams.

The next slate of games has 8 more teams on the chopping block, with at least 2 executions guaranteed. In the Dolphins at Bills and Giants at Buccaneers games, all teams have 4 losses, so it's basically like a gladiator...

--Miscellaneous--

Packers get a shot at redemption this week with a chance to knock off the last undefeated NFC team in the Panthers. Whether you've suddenly got doubts about how possible that is or not, it still looks like the best game on paper this week and another matchup between club members.

Looks like the garbage is finally being cleaned off the streets, cause 4 of the 6 teams on their bye this week are already blacklisted, meaning we don't have to watch as many...

GOAT ofc

He's next in a long line of elite QBs, but currently not fully realized. Expect him to evolve into Carrizard no later than 2017.

He's the next David Carr.

The way logano's car limped to the grass and kenseth exploded, stream, fluid and debris everywhere. Dying with the knowledge that he saved us. I'm tearing up right now

I thought that Murrikans going to nascar only for crash was a meme. I was obviously wrong to not believe what /sp/ told me.
