It also has to be a "sport" though. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

The best one in recent memory is Liverpool storming back against Milan in the Champions League Final, and then winning in Penalties. Just as good, if not better, than the Sox.

Remember that this might be the third biggest single sporting even in the world, behind the World Cup Final and the Superbowl.

That the game was decided on penalties seriously detracts form its greatness.

How so? Face it: soccer needs penalties. You can't play forever on three substitutions.

[/ QUOTE ]

There are better ways to decide a game than penalties (i.e. ways that actually resemble soccer). Also in a championship game, I don't see why you can't play until someone scores. It will happen eventually. They do it in playoff hockey.

Sure you can. Sooner or later, someone's going to get tired and blow an assignment, and there's your game.

Which is no better than deciding the game on penalties.

It is much better because the soccer game would actually be decided by playing soccer.

BYU recovers the onsides kick, McMahon completes 2-2 passes and they run it in from the 1.

Two-point conversion (pass) successful, 45-39. 1:58 remaining.

onsides kick by BYU is recovered by SMU, but the defense holds, and the Mustangs are forced to punt. The kick is blocked, BYU recovers. :41 left on their 41.

McMahon throws two incomplete passes. On the last play of the game McMahon throws a hail mary from his own 45. It is caught by Clay Brown, a BYU receiver.

I'm aware. I'm a Flyers fan, and I vividly remember Keith scoring in the 5th overtime against the Pens.

It's a common argument among soccer fans, pens vs no pens. No one is going to agree on it, we might as well agree to disagree.

Re: Greatest sports comeback ever!
 

Yeah, 12.5% makes sense, and the reason that no one had ever done it before is variance right?

Fine the OP says that but it's an 8 page thread and almost every single post as been a game so I think you need to realize where the thread is going.
