Satans Hockey Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 (edited) After watching the Mexico-Argentina today, I wish they had the golden goal rule in instead of playing that extra 30 minutes. It would make for more upsets and I just think it's more exciting. Those Argentina fans and players would have really been going crazy if they had just won the game on the ot goal. Any thoughts?

Derek21 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I like this poll SC. I was kind of wondering about it myself. I voted yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moustic Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I'm for the "Silver Goal" (when a team scores... the period must be finish... only one period) Add more drama than play all 30 minutes Is less cruel than Golden Goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoring has just been so low, that a golden goal might as well be used, cause im sure 95% of the time the team scoring that silver goal would win the game.

redruM Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Golden goal al lthe way.. it puts that much more pressure on the teams not to screw up, 1 mistake game could be over.. yesterday they had anoher 20 minutes to make up for the mistake!!! and there is nothing like pure excitement a game ending on a goal... not waiting 20 more minutes to celebrate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I'm not a big soccer fan, but I did watch yesterdays game. I *assumed* it was Golden Goal. So I see that sweet goal to make it 2-1 and I go downstairs to do laundry thinking that Argentina won... but when I came back, the game was still on. Maybe it's my hockey bias, but I like sudden-death. The rest of the game seemed rather anti-climatic as Argentina spent most of the time playing keep-away.

Jimmy Leeds Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Remember the '82 Semi between West Germany and France? France scored TWO in extra time and the Germans then scored two of their own.........and then won it on penalties....... One of the most exciting games ever in WC History. You wouldn't have had it with a Golden Goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satans Hockey Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 But how many times is that really going to happen? I don't know how many times it has happened in the past but im guessing not a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
