It'd be like Speedball 2. Which can only be a good thing. |

never really understood this idea that penalty shootouts are "unfair" and bit of a "lottery".
They aren't. They are no more a lottery than being told "here's the winning numbers, just go and fill in the ticket correctly." "Here's the goal, here's the ball. Go kick that ball into the goal." If your team of professional millionaires can't manage to beat a goalkeeper from 12 yards out then maybe they don't deserve to win. And don't give me this %@#$&!s about pressure getting to them, it's the same in every single other sport, there's high pressure moments where you have to deliver. A golfer nailing that par 3, a boxer digging deep in the 12th round to find that knockout punch, an NFL player doing exactly what he's told and running into a fat bloke. It's all there. |

I don't like extra time and pens, mind. The additional thirty minutes is almost always boring and goalless. I heard someone recently suggest doing the shootout after ninety minutes, and then playing extra time with the winner of the shootout winning the tie if no further goals are scored. Would certainly make extra time more interesting. |

Away goals is a bigger issue, for me. It has to go. Destroys the balance of the contest and too often kills ties early in the second leg. |
