I have no idea how that led to them trying to score on both sides
When he talked 1994 i thought that he was going to talk about Ayrton Senna's de@th
Bring back the 35 yard penalty from the NASL
Why would Grenada try to score on themselves cuz then Barbados would still win by 2
THIS IS ROCKET LEAGUEEE
I don't get it. If they were winning why didn't they just defend? I'm not really familliar with soccer.
Ha, one team guarding BOTH goals sounds amazing!
Oh! Another fun story about my country 🇧🇧
Honestly, this sounds sick as hell.
Still better than not stopping even after the timer went well above 99mins
That's actually funny as hell, keep this rule
“You gotta watch football, bro. It’s peak.”
The peak in question:
The problem is that it's too boring
Solutio: Make it interesting
Noo now it's too good.
Solution: Make it boring again.
Honestly, this made for a more interesting match. They should have kept the rule!😂😂😂😂😂
Grenadian here in Grenada, shout out to the Grenadian who see this
I love it when football tries to implement a rule on a tournament, and then that same tournament gives them a reason why it's problematic. Like when UEFA added the "Silver Goal" in 2004 (that is to say, if a team was winning at the end of the first half of overtime, they would win), but then, when this was applied, it was when Greece scored on Czech Republic AT THE LAST SECOND, so it was just a Golden Goal
Yeah it's dumb but i think you could probably make a game with the "one team guards two goals and another has to kick it into either" work if you actually planned it.
I would be laughing my ass off
Thank God this fringe scenario happened in the first tournament the rule was implemented.
At the time, FIFA was on an anti-draw crusade after Italy 1990 presented the worst goals-by-game rate and the highest drawn (tied) games rate. This was the time FIFA standarized the 3-points-by-win rule through all the world, which was aimed exclusively to discourage teams to go for a draw.
So, if this rule had success in this small tournament, FIFA might have rolled it out across different, bigger tournaments. Chaos assured, with a larger audience to witness.
That sounds like the best game for soccer to ever witness ever.
To be fair, that is interesting.
Barbados should have lost for that. There's no sportsmanship in a cheap win.
How can a team fail to score a goal at either end? you outnumber the other team 2:1 thats crazy
Fun one. I enjoy all of these, but this was a nice just funny one.
Soccer is a children’s sport.
Thos sounds like the best match ever 😂
Not anymore BORING….. Everyone want to learn MATH…..
This is hilarious
I do not understand
i saw the inside of the net thinking it was a giant dome and my brain went, no way football X7?
LMAOOOO
Can-nAda? Did I heard you correctly?
Wow, just when I thought I couldn't care any less about soccer, this videos pops up
They started playing strat roulette 😂
Fun fact: the clip of that match is now partially lost
I think both teams were incredibly stupid here, not the rule. After all, deliberately going to OT is a bigger risk than just maintaining your lead
"Soccer"
The math isn't mathing
No this was a great outcome
Congrats. You sparked an interest in sports I did not previously have. I'm probably only going to listen to you talk about them though. Anyone else and it's still going to be boring.
This sounds fun
QUESTION!
Why did grenada try both goals in the end? Wouldn't their own goal give barbados the 2 goal lead they wanted? Why were the barbados team trying to prevent them getting their own goal?
