Soccer vs Football is a big part of the sports culture of the USA and Europe. Soccer is known as football everywhere in the world but in North America. It becomes further complicated as the USA has a sport named football. The National Football League is a league consisting of 32 teams and was founded in September 1920.
However, one point the football fans used to raise is that, unlike soccer, football matches wouldn’t usually end in ties. Now, that has become debatable after the Giants vs Commanders game and fans had a lot of reactions to it.
New York Giants vs Washington Commanders
The story of the online storm started with the conclusion of an NFL match, New York Giants vs Washington Commanders. The match after 70 minutes ended in a tie, which somehow became a topic of discussion. Fans were sharing their views about the game and here are a few reactions.
What a trash sport to end in a tie, I personally would never waste my time watching something like this. I mean why don't you just keep playing until there is a winner, it doesn't seem that complicated 🤷♂️ https://t.co/JSeSPAlLwu

American Football isn’t high scoring. Each team scored 2 touchdowns (1 points each) and 2 FG (1 point each) The point system makes it seem high

Shitting on American football is a great way to convince football fans to watch soccer

There's no reason why the NFL should end in a tie. These rules make me question everything. I start thinking they should have a rugby type scrum for ot possession and always go for two. Take the soccer part out, add any game, tug of war, rps, Uno? Anything but a tie.

Shameful that ties still exist in the NFL. Worthless

The match was very close, and it is the first tie for the Giants after 1997.
