I hate penalties. But they have to be. The game needs to end somewhere. This is one fantastic dramatic close. It's the perfect way to show that both teams were winners, and it's just down to the last nerves and the art of shooting at the end. afterall, the game is about scoring goals, and you can't score without shooting, and that's what penalties are... they're shots...

as much as well all hate them becuase of the way it puts us throught 10 minutes of solid torture, they're vital, and they close the game off superbly.

Not when it's your team and your team is Dutch. :(

Than again you can't play on forever. They used to draw lots to decide the match, I'd prefer pen kicks than.

I like the Golden Goal....but yeah, after extra time, there should be penalties.....otherwise you would have players just dropping....

But shrinking the field and changing the number of players, well that's not any more true to the game than penalties.....

lets put up American Football goalposts and kick "extra points" :rolleyes:


as the maker of this thread rightly said......

STUPID *SS AMERICANS :rolleyes:


I love the tradition penalty kicks. This is the perfect system, it raises the intensity of the game and is a thrill to watch.

If the american commentators, that don't know their *ss from their elbow regarding football, don't like this system.

They can go F*CK OFF!


I agree that it is unfair for players to keep playing till they score......because........they're human and will CRAMP!

DUH!


The penalty system is unfair, but its fair for 5 players to be on the ground with cramps while the rest continue playing?!? :rolleyes:


LEAVE FOOTBALL ALONE! GO CHANGE AMERINAN FOOTBALL ADD ANOTHER WAY TO SCORE 700,000 POINTS

a long time ago it used to be where if the match was drawn, the next day they would play all over agian..

anywyas, i like the idea of golden goal.. keep playing until someone scores, no mtter how long!! haha.. that'd be pretty boring maybe later on, everyone would be so tired.. but i guess it'd show phsyical fitness

penalty shootouts are intense, but it doesn't really show much about the team.. oh well

Maybe penalties up until the final and then in the final just play it out? That way fatigue isn't an issue in following matches.

So say the Americans. Everytime I turn on the news it is either about Zidane or about how "crap" the PK system is. The producers have given these dopes 5 extra minutes to fill with soccer, so they pull this out of their asses. The worst part is they don't get anyone that knows soccer to argue with them, they get other dopes to agree with them.

Their solution is to just play the match out until someone gets a winner......are you kidding me?

in a typical contest, soccer players run for a total of 10-11 kilometers(6 miles) sprint for about 800-1200 metres, accelerate 40-60 different times, and change direction every five seconds or so.

Soccer is like no other sport in the world, can Basketball, Baseball, Hockey, Cricket or Tennis players say they do that in every game? And 6 miles is based mostly on college levels, not even taking into account the international level.

Each team only gets 3 subs for 11 players, how can you expect human beings to go through that without any type of long term rest?

PKs are no doubt the best option, during this world cup most of the matches were pretty hard to watch once they went into overtime, no one seemed to want to run. Imagine how bad it would be if they had to play until someone scored with no time-limit set in place?


stupid-ass americans.

ok..you need to be careful "how you say ....what you say"

not all of US are stupid..This American has been footballin since i was a tiny lad and curently plays on an U -25 Amateur Men's Club :jap:

more than likely you were listening to ESPN who has a mega sports contract with everyone except PREMIERE soccer..so what do you think they are going to do ..try to run it in the ground ..the coverage of soccer is piss-poor and i won't even discuss how Balboa tore up the cup this year..he was much better in 02 but thats before ESPN got big as it is now...I watch all sports except that damn horseracing and poker..the reason americans don't take to soccer is b/c IT IS NOT BEING EXPOSED PROPERLY.. for Goodness sake THEY PUT POKER ON DAILY!! ..POKER MAN..What is that!?

You can fill that time with EPL highlights or various other futbol leagues...

and if anyone notices here in the states the NFL really tookover(Mainstream success) when ESPN started pushing it down people's throats as well as POKER

with all that being said Pk's do stink ..Golden Goal after 2 20min sessions would be awesome..a true winner is crowned..pk's is just who can put the ball in the net.no skill required my old coach who is from brazil told me anyone can score but everyone can't play Defense... i mean did you see how small brtes was in goal and how big that goal was..c'mon now..be real.. :-paul:

They should drag out Sepp Blatter after normal time and tie him to one of the posts. Then get each team to take turns and see which one can whack him on the face the most. I don't think Blatter would mind seeing how he's such an attention whore.

Increase the number of substitutes allowed.........like up to however many you want? Also allow teams to sub back in already removed players if they feel fit enough to return or the coach deems them to be important enough to come back onto the pitch.


Additionally, don't wanna hijack your set topic here, but I can't stand the unfairness of the red card rule. You should be able to replace a sent off player in my opinion. I mean, the game is hard enough as it is with 11v11, why disadvantage one side so grossly by having them play a man down? Punish the individual for his offence, but allow the team to replace him.

Rather than PK's, they should just play "posts and crossbars" like we used to play back home in the backyard.

The post is worth 1 point, the crossbar is 3 points and the junction is 5 points. Whoever gets 20 points first, wins.

I don't know Yoss...I mean, it's a team game, so when someone does something so as to deserve a red, he is hurting his team, and not just himself, otherwise you would see tired guys having a go just to injure or get revenge, knowing they won't hurt the team

and in five days, everyone will go back to not giving a sh*t about football over here, and you wont have to hear crap like that for another four years


and in my opinion, hockey is the only sport where physical conditioning is not only equal to, but exceeds football. They are playing 30 minutes a game albeit with short 2-3 minute rests, but while going full speed, skating (more physically taxing than running, in my opinion) while expecting physical contact and moving around in an enclosed space. And come playoff time, THEY have to play until someone scores. Jagr's 16 lost pounds in water weight, anyone?? In a perfect world, baseball players would be making what hockey plalyers make and vice versa
