: Look for a draw on Monday...USA 1 �Korea 1
Nice prediction, which points to just why most Americans can't stand soccer - too damn predictable. The big excitement? The goalie stopped a shot! Be still my beating heart. Compare that to game 3 of the Stanley Cup: one goalie makes 50 saves (of something 1/30 the size of that pumpkin) and the game goes triple overtime before it ended - with a winner!
And of course soccer's ugly head reared again: two people stomped to death in Russia because the home team lost a game. Only with soccer can a 1-0 become a slugfest.
If they could just figure out how to keep time in a soccer match it might have a little credibility. Could you imagine the Super Bowl continuing for some random unspecified time to account for player changes and penalties? And here I thought the Swiss made clocks.
