Sigh.

Its a huge myth that soccer games are all 0-0. Very few games of soccer, at any level, end up 0-0. Or even draws.

Good job fighting the good fight. But remember what they say about pearls before swine, wrestling with a pig, etc.

Go USA!

According to Professor Google, 10% of English Premier League matches end in 0-0 draw and 30% end in a draw of some score. Compare that to the number of draws in MLB baseball (0%), NBA basketball (0%), and NBL football (<.1% since 1974).

For a 0-0 game, that Mexico-Brazil game was pretty intense.

BTW Holland just scored.

When I was in Germany many Bundesliga games ended at 0-0. And the World Cup championship game was only settled on a late penalty kick.

And nobody said they were all 0-0, BTW.
