[QUOTE="dasNdanger, post: 644503, member: 61962"] Yes, because it would become boring and predictable. It would also hurt the game too much, morale would hit rock bottom as teams constantly on the losing end lose fans and financial support. The thrill of the game - of any sport, actually - is the spirit of competition, and if the battle is always one-sided the thrill just goes out of the game. How thrilled do we get when we see the underdog take down the top dog? Even when the top dog is my team, I still love a good underdog win. And I do prefer a balanced competition, one in which both teams on the pitch have a chance of coming out on top. It just makes the game all the more entertaining, and certainly more interesting. Except when NZ plays France...then I ALWAYS want the kiwis to win, just to see the French pout. ;) das [/QUOTE]
