Quote: deahler, Are you really implying that soccer is the only sport in which one person steps up to the line and feels the pressure of the team on his or her shoulders?
No! What makes you think that? However, I am implying that your analogies are terrible. Like this one below.
Quote: What about a freethrow at the buzzer?
I would say that a foul called at the end of a basketball game which results in your "freethrow (sp?) at the buzzer", would be analogous to a PK being called at the end of regulation in a soccer match. I have never seen a basketball referee blow his whistle at the end of the second overtime and say, "OK, enough we're all getting pretty tired here. Let's just shoot some free throws to decide this one."
Actually, my favorite argument for PK's is JMCLEMSON's above. I am not sure I agree, but it is a great way to look at it.
Why has no one commented on my alternating corner kicks idea?
JM,
In keeping with the original intent of your post - I agree that Dorman is for real. They have proven it! Basically, I echo what Chico has already posted.
