*If it's still a draw then you could have two blindfolded, cloned David De Geas, give them an equal amount of sedatives and a corner flag to use as a javelin in a cross bar challenge to decide it? |

Penalties are great. And they're absolutely nothing to do with luck or anything else. All about if you've got the minerals to step up and score under pressure.
If there was no penalties, we'd never have been given the John Terry slip. One of the greatest moments in sporting history. |

In fact: I say ramp up the pressure. If it gets to 5 all, let the opposing team choose who gets to take the next peno against them. Proper tighten the screw of pressure |

11 vs 11 Golden goal rule. If the players can't decide it then the fans can. |

I mean... who didn't want the swiss to progress on pens v spain after they suffered and withstood attack after attack? it's spain's fault for their poor finishing. why reward a team that is on top and still can't £#%&!ing score. there is nothing wrong with penalties. if you want to avoid them, try £#%&!ing scoring. |

'Why reward a team on top for ninety minutes without scoring', is the same as saying why reward a boxer who's battered his opponent for 12 rounds without knocking him out. The fighter who has outfought his opponent for the duration of the fight gets the win, as it should be and as it should be in tournament football IMHO. You don't see them having a random game at the end of a slug fest, to see who's the better fighter. Penalty shootouts are the equivalent of giving little Timmy the chance to get a sticker, even though he's been shit and doesn't deserve one. |

however, the game is purely about who puts the ball in the net. nothing else in the game rewards possession, shots on or off target, time spent in the opponent's half, etc. if you don't take your chances (moreno and morata), the game punishes you. except switzerland didn't, the dipsticks. it does lead to shitty teams going through at the expense of "better", "more expansive", "more entertaining" teams. but this is the whole game. why should extra time suddenly favour any of that shit? otherwise, you might as well dispense with the concept of goals and just have a panel of judges giving scores out of ten for prettiness.

I wouldn't get rid of penalties at the moment, but if a viable alternative can be thought up then I wouldn't be against the idea of getting rid of them at some stage. |

That way, you encourage and reward teams for going for it, which is what we all want to see. A lot of extra-times are very drawn out affairs, without either team wanting to risk going behind. This suggestion would ensure that a Mou-style team, who've tried to stop the opposition for 90 minutes, rather than play entertaining stuff, would have to attack at all costs in extra-time. Far more entertaining. The game would, of course, still be about trying to put the ball in the opposition net, up until the end of the 120th minute. In case that didn't happen, it would be far fairer to reward the team that tried their hardest to do so. |

Also, how many matches in the prem last year would have gone the other way if they were decided on possession or shots on goal rather than actual goals scored? What you are proposing is settling games on "xG" https://www.sportskeeda.com/football...ed-goals-xg-xa |

Reward the team that at least tries to achieve the primary goal, as opposed to one that's happy to sit back and soak up the pressure (no matter how good their defensive skills are). |

Shit happens It's one of the things that makes football, especially knock-out football, so special, otherwise why bother to play the game, just run a simulation on a computer. |
