Americans are dumb: A 21-14 NFL game is the same as a 3-2 soccer match

Date: June 28th, 2026 1:06 PM Author: Hairraiser public bath 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 1:10 PM Author: irradiated charcoal candlestick maker "field goals" are not exciting at all, not fair to include them. tds to goals is a reasonable comparison (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5878013&forum_id=2 #49967107) |
|
Date: June 28th, 2026 1:22 PM Author: Hairraiser public bath 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 3:10 PM Author: irradiated charcoal candlestick maker you seem to know nothing about soccer. almost every goal is exciting, moreso than most TDs, and "kick the ball at someones head at hope it will bounce funny" is not a strategy (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5878013&forum_id=2 #49967292) |

Date: June 28th, 2026 2:17 PM Author: multi-colored cerise pocket flask lodge 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.

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 5:43 PM Author: ultramarine pit It's a tacit admission that at the highest levels of competition it's often luck that determines the champion. I'd rather have a penalty shootout than, say, a key star going down in a game 7 of a tightly contested series which unfairly rewards the opponent a championship and the extenuating circumstance is lost to asterisks and history books. Because goals in soccer are hard to score there is more overall fairness. That's just my opinion my brother, I hope you are having a blessed day.

So in soccer you are 15X more likely to tune in and not see your team score once. |
