re: Will this game fix NFL ot rules?

People whine about college OT and how it doesn't represent real football, but I always go back to penalty kicks and shootouts. It's different but still part of the game. And it's entertaining as hell. I'd love to see it in the NFL. OT in the NFL is such a snooze fest.

This is an apples and oranges comparison. Goals in soccer are a lot harder to come by than field goals and touchdowns in soccer. If you have two offensively challenged teams, the match could drag on forever. Plus there is no stoppage in play or breaks for players in soccer. They do not get any rest outside of halftime and the brief break between regulation and OT. If you just have them keep playing until a team scores a goal and breaks the tie, it could cause dire physical consequences for the players.
