Football does of course sick, that's why our American friends call it sucker(or was out soccer? I forgot). But football that you don't play with your foot,
sounds like cricket...I can just remember when all knockout games including the final were re played if it was equal after extra time, it became a battle of endurance that couldnt survive the television era. The longest went to a fifth replay a total of eleven hours (extra time wasnt played then, it was brought in to avoid replays).
