Because you're no soccer fan!

I watched the game live on that day. the Hengda (Evergrande) gave a lot of pressure on Seoul in the first half. However, they only play defensively in the second half which Seoul was seen more aggressive. Hengda was expected to win more; however the game only ended with a draw. Guangzhou Hengda is an outstanding football (soccer) league in China. They only rise up recently. I gave it a nickname "China's Barcelona FC". Before meeting FC Seoul, it beat Japan's Kashiwa FC 4:1 in away, and 4:0 in home games. China is really rich that it invest a lot even in football (let alone fighters and warships).

In this particular match, Asian Champion League Cup, there are Home and Away match. Without going too deep into its rule, last time Seoul (Home) vs Hengda (Away) was 2:2. This time Hengda (Home) vs Seoul (Away) 1:1. Hengda wins because he score more in the away game. (Someone setup this rule, don't ask me why).

Another type of final match, they play at neutral field, one game only. If tie, 30 minute (separated into 2 halves) extra time is added. And if tie again, penalty shootout will decide the winner.

True, but than again you might get some unexpected heavy rain weather in the area and than a flood occurs. We're still in the hurricane, cyclone, or typhoon season.

Land mines is a big problem. After decades of the war, casualties are still heard once a while. The most serious recently was a modified tractor loaded with 14 people all killed when it ran over an anti tank land mine.

I still don't understand ties in soccer. Or how can a team win a Championship when a game is tied. Makes no sense to me.

I had a similar conversation at SSC about an MLS playoff game.

Just read down from post #8854 on this page.



My final post on this discussion...

Have one game instead of two.. winner takes all. If there's a tie at the end of the game..have a shootout.
