Back in the 90s, MLS did not allow tied games. If the game remained tied after extra time, you had a special shootout in which a player received he ball near the midfield and 1v1d against the goalkeeper.

Go ahead Europoors and Latin Americans. Talk all the trash you want.

Why’d they stop doing that? I’d actually watch that semen slurping bullshit if that was a possibility
really good
In trying to appease American fans, MLS was becoming the butt of jokes around the world.
>astroturf
why are non-Americans such salty faggots all the time?
were they not allowed to move laterally? they all run right at him and never try to cross him over or anything
The goalkeeper should be allowed to steal the ball (no hands) and take a shot at the other goal from his side of the field.
no, they blamed the rules changes for low ratings and turnout. Even though it was simply because everyone considered soccer a kids game. People have a hard time identifying cause and effect.
I actually like most of the rules changes.
Rules Change
- Use big data to determine average corner kick time, goal kick time, etc
- Clock is stopped if the team that is ahead or advantaged on it ending in a tie takes longer than average time.
Meaning if a normal corner kick take 18 seconds on average. If the ahead team takes 26 seconds the clock stops at 18 and starts again after 8 seconds.
Basically makes it impossible to take your time to make the game shorter.
Another ex:
Average team takes 150 seconds of injury delay
If your team exceeds the 150 seconds, the clock becomes stopped during your injuries.
So you can't intentionally fake injuries to shorten the game.
Yeah, the american penalties were nice and the backwards stoppable clock also had its appeal. Sadly even less drastic changes can't be done today because retards saying stuff like, don't touch the beatiful game, the game is perfect in its imperfection, it's part of the culture, etc. Fucking niggers literally defending corruption and unsportsmanlike
Why not just stop the clock like a normal person would
pretty sure they had to keep moving forward.
Matches would last forever, current games usually have just like 40-50 minutes of actual game. If you were going to stop the clock every singe time the game stops it would probably last 3 to 4 hours (compared to the "schedulingly perfect" current length of almost 2 hours)
MAKE PENALTIES GREAT AGAIN

i like them, they are better than luckshoot and a best of 5 of this would be just as intense, if not more so than penalties
too bad it will never catch on because even americans got rid of it
>penalty kick awarded on a shootout attempt
>goalie saves it anyways
that woudl piss off beautiful game fans. The point is just removing the delaying ability of ahead teams. If a team is up by a goal they can turtle and get injured every minute, draining the clock and stopping play
I don't actually, honestly thought the MLS was created like 5 years ago
What the hell is mls?
Minors, Lesbians and Shomosexuals
I remember a clásico won by Peñarol through this style of shootout. Only one player actually scored, Bengoechea.

you sound salty
Why not just make the football egg shaped?
So MLS didn't start with Beckham going to US?
>those 90s jerseys
jesus christ why were they so baggy?
Why not just figure out how long matches take on average and adjust the length of the game to be in that neighbourhood? If matches only have ~50 minutes of shit actually happening then just have two 30 minute halves.
Why are you trying to find a problem where there's none? There are many problems in football but match length is hardly one of them. Yes time wasting exists, but its impact is minor at most
Yes, that's actually a fairly common idea when people talk about real time clocks in footy.
We are talking about an hypothetical scenario
imagine missi doin gthis
Both Cruijf and Pele played a year or two in the states it was the nasl at that time though

How the fuck do the yanks still hate soccer?
Higuain would be great entertainment in this format
That's so retarded. Anyone with a hint of technique is just going to lift it over the keeper.
England would never score
I just said that.
>that defending
goddamn we were awful back then
This is unironically much better than penalties.
Bravo burgers, I’d watch this.
In Paysandú. Maybe we wuz in the same tribunas. What an awful waste of time that shit was
Come home white man
fuck all this noise, multiball when??
>le draws are bad meme
Gives smaller teams something to play for if victory over a bigger side is a forlorn hope.
Why do Americans have to make every sports they play a little different from the international version? Even the one they invented...
See Basketball and Ice Hockey as examples
anyone remembers Juventus having this kind of "penalty" shhootout in one match back in early 2000s?
>See Basketball and Ice Hockey as examples
Both Canadian, m8. America never truly invented any sport, just slightly modified other countries ones.
wacky racing
>They gave a penalty in a penalty
Loooooooool
It used to be the same in Yugoslav league you get 2 points for win but if you tie you are playing a penalty shootout not this autistic shit and the winner gets 1 point while losers get 0...
Sometimes both teams are quite genuinely awful and neither deserve to take a win, trying to force a winner between the two of them is child tier shit where parents hand out participation trophies. That will fly in the US, but not here.
If Amerikneels watched more than just 16 games in a single season they would realise that life is too short to waste time trying to pick a winner out of two sides that were so shit they couldn't put a winning goal past either one of them.
what is this heresy?
Absolutely heretical.
