I gotta say,not seeing a clock would impact a game tremendously. For example: You have a lead and u want to nurse it or still be aggressive. I mean it would suck not knowing how much time is there in general.

You are not suppose to know. :laugh2:

What if there is a stoppage during the stoppage time? i for one never understood the no clock thing either.

you mean like many women dont understand about the 10 second rule in basketball(where is that clock by the way?) or the play clock in football?

anyone who has ever played soccer has no issues with the clock.

you are told how long you have and the team that is behind is scrambling to score and the team defending is going to just boot the ball long and into the stands.

the ref controls the exact time but it isn't really that crucial because he won't stop play if you close unlike a football game being lost with a team at the one like Tennessee.

so you are the little woman of soccer fans... gratz!

honestly if you've ever played the sport you'd understand its not an issue. the half last 45 minutes, with a minute or so to go you are told how much stoppage time is going to be played.

I hate brussel sprouts.

Blasphemer...

Oh, wait a sec-- so do I...

Well soccer must do something right, half the world or more is watching what is the 3rd biggest sporting event in the world, behind only the Summer and Winter Olympics.

So half the world is easily amused...

At least in hockey you'll see a good fight...well one that isn't in the stands. :laugh2:

Be fair, Yeag; they only fight because there's no action on the "pitch"... so the fans are reduced to creating their own action...

He needs to look up the word "colonialism." There's a reason the Japanese play baseball, you know.

there are clocks in the stands so you know when the 45 is up and then with a minute left you know how much stoppage time is left,

unless you are autistic, you can figure it out

The Redcoats brought along a soccer ball? Interesting.

I am sure the 4 billion watching the tournament would say you suck for being closed minded about their sport.

Something played by so many, including many in your country, can't be all bad.

It isn't my favourite sport but it certainly is no less boring than baseball.

Why in the world do you think I would care what they think? I will say what I think about the stupid sport and I don't care if it offends them.

No, so we used their butts.

Here's what I don't get, with so many things to hate in this world (Hitler and such), why do some people spend so much time and energy hating a sport.
