Rodrigo Blankenship Is America's Favorite Former High School Soccer Player

Following the NCAA football National Championship Game, you might think the hero of the day was freshman Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

Why Don’t Universities In Soccer Hotbeds Win In Men's College Soccer?

This Fantastic SMU Strike Shows Why Everyone Should Adopt Golden Goal

Footy fans don't agree on much, but one thing most fans can agree on is soccer's extra time rules are generally awful. For most leagues, the general "30 minutes of extra time followed by a penalty shootout" format prevails, and that format is butt.

You know what format is better? Golden goal. That is, if a team scores in extra time, that's it. Game over. If the ball goes in the net, that's the last kick of the game, and everyone watching can pivot to doing something else. This format is also known as "sudden death" which is cool and spooky-sounding.
