That's very funny, since your team can hardly get to the MLS playoffs. Why is everybody who likes soccer played the way it's played everywhere else always labelled a "snob"? I mean, look at International basketball, with it's short 3-point line and all the other stuff. Anybody raised on the NBA would find it a bit strange and disappointing, which is how these "snobs" react to our young league. (I was trying to think of a rule that would make football or baseball worse, but they are already too far gone...). Whatever the good intentions of OT (encourage playing for wins) I just don't like it, but like I've said before, it's in it's most harmless form now and that's fine. Just don't call me a snob because I like to watch good football. InWoodbridge: Good point about prevent defense. DC United lately have been the example of "how not to play for a draw"...
Because it doesn't stop just with the rules. Personally, I'd like to see MLS drop OT except for the playoffs, then make it two 5 minute halves of sudden death,with PK's at the end if the game's still tied.
