[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 819071"] By no means do I consider the current overtime rules to be perfect but a team not having to worry about the clock in a tied game at the end of regulation would definitely be worse. You realize that in soccer approximately 90% of penalties result in a goal, don't you??? That makes it way tougher to stop than an NFL offense. Actually the winning percentage since the league changed the overtime rule to its current format is at 50.9% for teams that received the ball first, including both championship games from this season. The number from the article you posted is from after the 2017 season.
