I'm still not sure what the rules-makers were smoking when they came up with the "sudden death goal counts double" rule. The only thing I can think of is that they were trying to reward aggressive play to discourage teams from sitting back and playing for a tie. But clearly the negative effects (as demonstrated with this match) make it a silly scheme to use. I’d heard that soccer story before and it’s hilarious.
