I find it so much more enjoyable now than football. Football has too many

stoppages. Too many tortured rules interpretations and replay checks. Unfortunately VAR is going down the same road.

VAR has taken the joy out of the beautiful game

Wow, FanDuel gave back a boatload of bets in refunds from this
hoosnowahokie • 10/27/22 02:33 PM ET
Yeah, that was rough.

jeeze -that's a lot of handwringing over soccer. Get a hold of yourself man

That's a lot of handwringing?**
ModerateHokie • 10/27/22 11:37 AM ET
…for a sport that only uses feet
chumley • 10/27/22 12:09 PM ET
well yeah, for an endeavor such as soccer...

i don't have much of a clue what's going on, but I really enjoy watching
reestuart • 10/27/22 11:57 AM ET
Is that you Mr. Falwell......:)**
santafe • 10/27/22 12:40 PM ET
Yep. Can watch two soccer games in the course of one football game.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 10/27/22 12:33 PM ET
Water polo weekends have replaced football weekends - far more watchable
Happy Dog • 10/27/22 01:10 PM ET
College football especially. It is getting unbearable sometimes.

It would help if they quit going to a four-minute commercial break . . .
HokieKip • 10/27/22 01:29 PM ET
The clock shouldn't stop as often as it does, and the replays
reestuart • 10/27/22 03:35 PM ET
Yeah, I'd set a timer on the replays.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 10/27/22 03:41 PM ET
yeah, and I'm starting to think some more of the NFL clock rules should
reestuart • 10/27/22 04:01 PM ET
I found part of an article saying teams were averaging almost 21 1st downs
reestuart • 10/27/22 05:30 PM ET
And it would be good if the color commentators didn't feel the need to
ModerateHokie • 10/27/22 01:05 PM ET
YEah there is actually more action as either team can score relatively
ModerateHokie • 10/27/22 12:14 PM ET
yeah, I've noticed a game can turn on a dime. I watch enough sports
reestuart • 10/27/22 12:43 PM ET
It can definitely take awhile to pick up on the formations and such things.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 10/27/22 12:45 PM ET
It's a much more tactical game that I realized when I first started
AirborneHokie96 • 10/27/22 12:45 PM ET
The most entertaining game I have ever watched...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 10/27/22 12:34 PM ET
Last year's late winner against LC courtesy of Bergwyn was hard to beat
ModerateHokie • 10/27/22 01:00 PM ET
The Flying Dutchman! (link)**
ModerateHokie • 10/27/22 01:02 PM ET
Yep, that was a great one too.**
