I'm not disagreeing but I'm curious if you have any source that shows soccer results correlate less with "rank" than other sports. Do the low scores have something to do with it (similar to hockey maybe)?
- Lewisham 16y agoYes. I remember reading an article on a paper that claimed football was the most "exciting" sport as it had the greatest opportunity to provide upset due to the low scoring. It's more likely that the David's can beat Goliath. This is also compounded by having a knockout cup (where the Goliaths can and do go out) and the teams playing each other in a league far less than most American sports, at about 25 matches a year. That's roughly the same as the NFL, but nothing like baseball, which is insane.
- nir 16y agoConsider consider all the various tournaments (Cup, FIFA, UEFA etc) soccer teams play. The NFL season feels like it's over before it began. I guess the nature of the game is such that very few players could last much longer anyway.
