now you feel what I go through on a daily fucking basis... what trying to talk about soccer all day on a basketball message board while not talking about league itself but rather make stupid comments that have nothing to do with anything while your teams consistently suck throughout every league you are a part of? Is that how you feel?

What is wrong with regulation? Not a single person uses it. The first 90 minutes of a match is just called normal time I suppose, although I think we'd just refer to it as 90 minutes. E.e. where you might say "it looks like it'll be a tie at the end of regulation", people in football (soccer) would say "it looks like it'll be a draw at the end of 90 minutes". With reference to "4 min before the end of regulation" which you said in the opening post, we'd just say "in the 86th minute" well in Spain they do go by minutes but you can say "regulation" time to. In Spain "regulation time" is called tiempo reglamentario.

Sticks out when I see it. 4 minutes from the end, or 4 minutes from time are all used, just "regulation" doesn't fit. It refers to rules lol. Along with other phrases (like overtime as Krup pointed out), they just don't fit.

Wow USA did what they had too, put up some goals.
But when you allow 31 shots, it's nearly impossible to win.
