Topic	Why don't they have sudden-death extra time in soccer (football)?
argonautweakend 04/19/17 3:46:12 AM #19:	its usually not okay to deviate from the norm. regular season games(and there are no playoffs in most leagues, but there are playoffs in international tournaments) do not have OT. there are ties. When forced, yes, they deviate from the norm but they do it as close as they can to the original form, with two halves and no sudden death, then if that fails penalty kicks which happen anyways and they kinda need a winner. i dont think sudden death would be fair to both teams. lots of teams can and have tied it back up or at least made it interesting despite being down. I would imagine the team that scores first wins most often though. <cite>argonautweakend posted [p:877480643] in Why don't ...
