Americans are dumb: A 21-14 NFL game is the same as a 3-2 soccer match
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 28th, 2026 12:59 PM Author: Paralegal Marandi (Death, death to the IDF!) But Americans complain endlessly about how low-scoring soccer is, lmao at these dumb proles (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5878013&forum_id=2],#49967075) |

Date: June 28th, 2026 1:06 PM Author: ........,,,,,,......,.,.,.,,,,,,,,,, Average NFL game had 5.2 TDs and 3.6 field goals in 2025 - so about 9 scores
Average premier league has 2.75 scores - so NFL has 3x as much scoring.

Date: June 28th, 2026 1:22 PM Author: ........,,,,,,......,.,.,.,,,,,,,,,, Wrong.
The reasons field goals are relevant is because there were exciting plays before it that then are given meaning by the field goal.
Maybe there was a spectacular punt return, a 35 year old deep bomb, a running back breaking 4 tackles. You might not get the full 7 points, but you get something for those efforts. Contrast that with soccer, where even though i don't think the play is that exciting, if you are arguing that there are these amazing non-goal plays - almost none of them actually matter.
To that point, there's nothing inherently intersting about a TD or a goal either. Half of all TDs are like the least interesting play on the drive.
And half or more of soccer goals aren't that interesting - its just random bounces. You can't even see who kicked it half the time as a viewer. It's a huge negative IMO that the strategy of "the beautiful game" seems to be "let's kick the ball at someone's head and maybe it will bounce funny and go in". It's just not as strategic as a QB trying to purposefully float a ball into a 1 foot opening in the back of the end zone. |

Date: June 28th, 2026 1:10 PM Author: Paralegal Marandi (Death, death to the IDF!) 5 whole TDs per game -- so 3-2 like I said in my OP? Gotcha thanks for the math (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5878013&forum_id=2],#49967108) |

Date: June 28th, 2026 2:17 PM Author: .....;;,,.........;.;.;.;.,;,;,;.;.;,; If there were 5 goals in the median soccer match it would obviously be way more entertaining. Watching 75+ minutes of one team parking the bus is awful entertainment. The other key difference is that a football team can play it safe with a three yards in a cloud of dust offense and end up punting 8 times, and fans will complain about a team like that being boring, but most teams that do that will also pummel the opposing teams QB and have DBs that annihilate any receiver over the middle, so you usually get to watch insanely violent collisions involving 6’2” 220-250 lb dudes who run sub-4.5 40s and can bench 225 25+ times. Watching freakish athletes like that try to run into each other as violently as possible is objectively far more entertaining than 90+% of soccer matches with 3 or fewer goals, and that’s the most boring version of football.

Date: June 28th, 2026 1:12 PM Author: the walter white of this generation (walt jr.) People are not typically complaining about a 3-2 soccer match dude.
If nfl games routinely ended 0-0 with no real TD threats and maybe just a pair of missed FGs on each side, yes ppl would say that sucks ass. |

KFTPM is probably the worst tiebreaker in all of sports, and is indirectly largely responsible for the persistence of ties in soccer. It is "exciting" at the expense of every other thing you'd hope for in a tiebreaker, like fairness, reproducibility, rewarding the same skills that matter in the rest of the game (while trying to shake out an actual result), etc. I guess I'll add "it'll get you a result" to "exciting," but bear in mind that's true of a coin toss. |

Date: June 28th, 2026 1:26 PM Author: ........,,,,,,......,.,.,.,,,,,,,,,, Another relevant stat - approximately 35% of Premier League games end up with one or both teams scoring 0 goals.
In the NFL, shutouts are 2.5%.
So in soccer you are 15X more likely to tune in and not see your team score once. |

Date: June 28th, 2026 1:30 PM Author: all-male friend group (Online) there are so many substantial differences between NFL and soccer scoring and the multi-order consequences stemming from them
even a retarded nigger could name tons of them. literally, an actually mentally retarded black NFL fan would have no problem having a coherent conversation for like 10 minutes about this topic, and he would be able to make real substantive points |

Date: June 28th, 2026 2:29 PM Author: Biglaw partner throwin' ya some overtime Soccer is just boring as shit. Football is simply a better more exciting more intricate game with explosive plays and big moments.
Maybe if they tripled the net length it would be more interesting idk but the soccer “plays” with three guys passing it or whatever are nothing in comparison to football plays which require the effort of the entire team |
