Juice, it’s just people having fun thinking of ways to create more action and resolve games without getting to penalty kicks, which is really not tied to the game. Penalty kicks in soccer would be like a 5 free throw shoot off in basketball. Basketball has an attempt to score every 30ish...

We're just talking about overtime, not regular time. After having already played 90 minutes. I get bored watching in the 115th minute of a 0-0 game.

You could limit it to the start of every minute, or even minutes, etc. Or even every 5 minutes. Point being you wouldn't have people totally out of gas on the field just trying to survive. Less people and more rested people would be quite exciting. This after playing for 90 minutes already, so...

I like that. Allow hockey subbing in and out and the pace would really pick up.

Yeah, Nebraska should be classic, not trendy. That design could work for San Diego state.

That guy was on fire. MVP of the game by far.

Well, I’m a quarter Italian, so it could be worse. Any my Lithuanian doesn’t get much play. Thank god for my German and English ancestry so I have something to watch.

Team is looking fantastic. Most optimistic i have ever felt in a World Cup.

Probably showing replays, scores, stats, and commercials.
