soccer score

The concept of running up the score contrasts the accepted practice of either pulling out most of the game's first string players or calling plays designed to run out the clock (e.g., in football, kneeling or running the ball up the middle).
The term is not common elsewhere in the world, as in other countries (e.g. the United Kingdom) there is no stigma attached to the practice, and (in particular, professional sports) it is considered entirely acceptable.
Some of the reasons why a team might run up the score:
To demonstrate domination of one's opponents, and intimidate them and future opponents. To embarrass an opponent or to make a point. To demonstrate the skill of individuals who need to impress sponsors, talent scouts, etc. To increase the team's prestige. To gain an advantage where play statistics are kept and used for professional advancement or as part of a countback/tiebreak system. Just for the sake of scoring more pointsThe most common negative consequences of running up the score are injuries to a game's starting players, lack of experience for the non-starting players on the team, and opposing teams remembering a shellacking and plotting revenge in a future meeting.
Running up the score is considered poor sportsmanship by many fans, players, and coaches, albeit with differences in opinion on how big an insult it is Allegations of poor sportsmanship are often brought up soon after a team scores multiple times near the end of a one-sided match.[4] However, Florida State coach Bobby Bowden contended that it was not his job to call plays inconsistent with his regular offense. He felt that the prevention of further scoring was the responsibility of the opposing team's defense
