0-0 would be pretty strange.

2-0 would be acceptably pretty strange for me.

Those are very reasonable football scores. You should know that..aren't you from England?

I'm assuming pro (NFL) football -- no 2-point conversions

There's a way to score 1 point in college but I forget what it is - does that apply to the NFL too?

Re: OT: A football puzzle
 

There are some fluky ways of getting safeties that don't necessarily require that either of the teams has a particularly good defense (e.g., someone fumbles ball out of the back of the end zone), so I'm not sure 5 points is quite as strange, but yes, 5-5 would be really weird too. (Though I've at least *seen* scores of 5 points, I don't recall ever seeing 4 on a scoreboard.)

Except in that case, assuming I'm getting the right hint here, wouldn't 1-0 be a very normal score?

Not for most of us.

The original post says that you get a beer.

In England you could not have a beer at a football match, so you would have to be in America and therefore playing Soccer [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I agree, but I think 1-1 might be more strange than the 1-0

Re: OT: A football puzzle
 

5-4.
