I say do the OT but not the PK's. Also, get rid of offsides and you will have true American sport.


A lot of Americans want to Americanize everything. Why can't we admit that, every once in a while, someone else can come up with something good. I personally don't like the way "American" sports have been modified to quench the American thirst for higher scoring. Baseball, American football, and basketball have all been changed for the worse, in my opinion, by rules modifications designed to increase scoring. Whatever happened to the knockdown, dragout, 7-6 football games? The 1-0 pitchers' duals? The good basketball defenses when there was no shot clock? So, we also want to take away the offside rule so the average soccer game would be 7-4? You think more Americans would like it then?
