The way it is now is very similar to college fb ot (which is bitb)

it is currently way worse than college FB OT (which sucks pretty hard). the 25 yard line is way too close and negates elite KSU special teams.

I’ll be damned, apparently it is up for debate.

same. also a full length of the field kick contest with no goalies. can pros put it in the net from there 100% of the time? can they all kick it that far? martin gramatica would be the best at it.

each team gets a chance to score from an artificially close/easy position that scarcely resembles the rest of the game.  :dunno:

I'm not sure, but the vast majority of the countries even in the native tongue (if they are even changed at all) don't change. Best guess is if the country's name is vastly different than the anglicized version of of it/it isn't in some different alphabet then they go with that (Spain being the one that always comes to mind). That and maybe to avoid confusion with another country, but honestly that would be low.

Doesn't bother me though.

what makes it dumb?

Penalty shootouts are dumb because:

-removes 10 players
-ignores things like injuries, fatigue, red cards, etc.
-they make like 70% of them
-it's basically a coinflip of who wins
-the first 120 minutes are completely irrelevant

I always see pickup games w/o goalies, never seen a pickup pk shootout

I think to become a professional soccer player, you have to lack the ability to have any type of pride in yourself.

If you think that's weird, consider that in Switzerland the usual abbrev is CH, presumably from their German name, Schweiz. Where did the S go? :dunno:

CH stands for Confoederatio Helvetica, which is the Latin translation. since Switzerland has 4 official languages, Latin is used in order to be neutral

I like PKs.  If people watch 120 minutes of soccer they deserve an exciting conclusion with lots of goals.

you don't think removing the goalies would lead to lots of goals?
