LSU women soccer has 5 ties overall with 3 being in the SEC.
Why not have a penalty shootout to decide these matches?

A tie is like kissing your sister, which is very appealing to fans of the #1 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide women's soccer team.

They look at us watching commercials for 4 hours sprinkled with dudes in pads running into each other and ask the same thing.

Yeah i have heard a lot of their opinions but strongly disagree. It's just a feminine sport in general imo.

I can never watch grown men running around kicking a ball and be interested. Gayest sport ever. Absolutely nothing exciting nor interesting about it.

If you look at all the players, a lot them have a metro sexual look going on. Especially the European based squads.

Rugby is a real sport at least. I'm not a fan but i can understand rugby fans more at least.

OT and PK shootouts add an extra hour to games. That’s why they are only used in a tournament setting

The commercials are out of hand. I used to watch college football all day Saturday. I just can't do it anymore.

The proper name for soccer is "communist kickball".

Not sure how soccer counts them in the standings but NHL has them but at least both teams get a point for it (a win btw is two).

Honestly though, I don't see why both sports can't come up with a way to continue shoot-offs until there's a clear winner. Not hard and hell, it's good practice.

True for damn near all European men, athletic or not.

I don't think you really understand soccer until you play some pickup. It's fun as hell.

Or go to the UK and join in a pickup game there. People of *all* ages play it. I enjoy it but honestly, I hate the flopping stuff. It's moved into basketball and football
