I dont get this, why is nearly every single leading scorer from the new era?
Why is it never like „yeah he played in the 70s and is leading scorer off xyz“
You can check that, i am not talking bs, its hard to find a leading scorer that was in his prime between 1970-90
Why?
leagues used 2 point for a win system which probably effected the attacking output of the game
Such an overlooked point.
Very good point. They still use it for cricket World Cup.
We don’t have a draw in one day cricket though
We have tie. I seen the greatest of them all 1999 World Cup Semifinal.
The most controversial in 2019 World Cup Final
I was stuck in 8 East for overtime. I was just taking care of fire safety.
Kiwis too nice it was their cup.
Not anymore. World Cup games and qualifiers are all settled by super over, which is a bit rubbish imo. We (Scotland) qualify for the WC if Holland vs WI is a tie and not a Super Over win for Holland so I am a little biased mind.
They made lot of changes. They removed runners too I found in this World Cup but we have sub now instead.
Ties and no results will still garner a one point gain, but they’re far rarer than a win/loss so no point in changing it
What cricket World cup? There was certainly no world cup this year and certainly India wouldn’t lose in the finals.
Fun fact - pakistan reached semi finals in 1979 world cup and India couldn’t even progress to Knockouts in first 2 editions
That’s a great shout. There was a season when Celtic went a whole season unbeaten, but they still lost the league due to too many draws.
can you explain how that works?
You play three games. 1 win 2 draws. You got 5 points. I get 2 wins and 1 loss. I got 6 points. Now do this over 30 instead of 3 games and I’m ahead of you even so I lost 10 games you none
Saves me explaining. Thanks.
I don’t really see how that is relevant, in a season now they would have still lost the league but by more points
Exactly. That’s why there’s more impetus to score goals now. Teams drawing every week would get 50% of the points available, but now, they would only get 33% of available points. Therefore it is more important to win games (score goals) in the current era. Hence goalscoring records are all held my modern players.
