Yea I was admittedly surprised as I looked up thr overtime rules and found out wasn't a golden goal situation. Sounds like they did it for a while before abandoning again. Is there some purist arguement against it? Golden goal makes for terrible soccer in most cases because teams play so conservatively for the fear of that one slip up. In theory that should be better with the current extra time rules, but often it's similar and teams are just waiting for PKs, which aren't great but save us from endless bad and static play. Player health/conditioning becomes a concern at a certain point too. My favorite variant on this is playing golden goal, but every few minutes(let's say 5) both teams take a player off the field. So by the end of the normal 30 minutes of extra time you're playing 6 v 6 which makes basically every possession a transition moment because of how much space is everywhere at all times. It also encourages teams to go for goal when they're closer to full strength before the chaos of being short handed sets in. Yeah, I was curious if this would work. The 3v3 OT in hockey is a fun way to open up the ice and allow more scoring opportunities. Is the soccer field just SO big that reducing the players becomes ridiculous?

giving up 150 in regulation is a fancy trick

Denver won, thank you very much

Make that 2 TD

A-whoopsy

It's sad that if/when the US ever wins the World Cup that the collective reaction will be 5% of the excitement of literally any other country.

That was Madden easy mode running. Holy horsefeathers

Suh slaps Fields in the head, no call

lol

Crazy that the goalie could even make an effort on the second save, what with taking the first shot squarely between the eyes
-
He's an absolute hole in the lineup offensively His career high in wRC+ is 90 (2017)
-
Gomes and Barnhart have been worth 4.5 fWAR combined over the past 3 seasons
-
These last five minutes....

wow wow wow

Just saying that Heyward was coming off of three straight high fWAR years before signing with the Cubs, when he then immediately turned into a pumpkin. Correa has already had some back problems, so he's a gamble. None of us know how any of this will turn out, though, so we're all just arguing to argue. wait, you were comparing correa to heyward? that's even weirder I'm comparing two players signing huge contracts, that's all

And could end up being the next Heyward, but we'll see. this is such a lazy comp Just saying that Heyward was coming off of three straight high fWAR years before signing with the Cubs, when he then immediately turned into a pumpkin.

Huh? Swanson: 7/177 = $25M AAV Correa: 13/350 - $27M AAV Basically the same per year, but half the commitment. Why is that horrible? Correa is a lot better than Swanson. And could end up being the next Heyward, but we'll see.

Huh? Swanson: 7/177 = $25M AAV Correa: 13/350 - $27M AAV Basically the same per year, but half the commitment. Why is that horrible? He likely sees Correa in a higher tier of player And he's probably right, but I'd bet on 7 good-to-decent years of Swanson over 13 good-to-decent years of Correa.

Nope, this makes the Correa contract look like an absolute steal. People need to stop being trained to care about years on a contract. You'll never sign anyone good anymore if you care. Huh?

Guess what an idiot with a big market baseball team did this time

His broadcast is already 80% ad reads. Maybe just sell the rest of the broadcast so that he never actually talks about the game? -
Cubs don't even know who Rodon is
-
Thor is going to win the Cy Young for the Dodgers
-
Yes, but did something new happen on this front? he went from being okay last year to bad this year. it was bad regardless, but now we don't even get a decent player out of it If it makes you feel better, Adam Boqvist has played like 11 total minutes for the Blue Jackets

Correa to the Giants 13/350 (Deal Nixed Due to Medicals)

I only watched if they were on national TV (or played the Pirates/Reds)
