Dad On Soccer
I can’t believe my first non-baseball post is about soccer. Groan.
My Dad came up with a pretty good idea for an alternative to penalty shots deciding World Cup games. HE thinks that the goalie should be lifted on both sides and they should just keep playing. And it wouldn’t be sudden death or anything. They would play the full overtime periods and all. Just more opened up.
This way they can actually play soccer at the end of soccer games, rather than Penalty Shot Sport, which is a different sport.
Because ending soccer games on penalty kicks is like ending baseball games on home run derbies.
Or basketball games on slam dunk contests.
Or hockey games on video game hockey games.
Actually, none of those sound bad to me. Never mind!
