Some choices...
1. Team down by 2, 40-45 yard field goal attempt as time expires (football)
2. Team down by 1, losing team inbounding with 5 seconds left (basketball)
3. Team down by 1, bases loaded, 2 outs, losing teams best player at the plate (baseball)

I don't know anything about hockey or soccer or anything, but mention it and i'll add it to the poll

Two... Nothing is cooler then watching a shot in the air while hearing the buzzer and waiting for it to go in or bounce out...

1 by far.

only 16 games in a football season, as opposed to 11ty billion in baseball and basketball, so individual games carry much more weight.

if youre talking playoffs, then theyre all about even to me.

field goals are by far the most boring way to win a game... the drive leading up to the fg though is awesome.
basketball gets my vote.

maybe the question should've just been "which sport has the most exciting comebacks"

Even better IMO:

Hockey, Stanley cup final game 7, OT, clear breakaway (best forward obviously)...

For some reason my heart skips several beats when there?s a breakaway vs. a penalty shot.

soccer sucks.

Just the biggest sport world wide, but anyway.

popularity doesn't mean it doesn't suck. i mean, when you're brainwashed at an early age into thinking it's the be all, end all, you don't have much of a chance.

winnar

no penalties or bs, the refs let them play, or are already tired :p

no mistakes, nobody wants to screw up and cost them the season.

and of course one goal is lethal

just fine hockey.
