I think penalty shootouts are awesome and the by far best way to decide who advances, but it's not like one team is better than another because they play 1-1 and one team wins at a penalty shootout.. and I mean, normally a team gets to play what, one penalty shootout every 4 year or something on average if they are one of the best teams who always advance past the groupstage.. it doesnt really give you a big enough sample size to decide on anything. 12 games on euro qualifation big enough sample size to decide anything ? Also when does good luck evolve into skill and bad luck into non-skill ? I mean 42 years of bad luck is kinda big sample size.... | ||

That is a great idea! I hope they implement this. | ||

For the England team I want the young player to be given more of a chance, Ashley Young, Walcott, Bentley, Agbonlahor and so on. They're promising but haven't had enough opportunities because not all of them play for the big 4. | ||

english players do probably have more pressure than players from any other european country though so it might just be harder because of that. | ||

leagues show who the best team is, tournaments/championships do not. | ||

It would be a bad idea for them to change the order of extra time-penalties imo. Imagine a world cup final , where team A wins penalty shootout and B loses. It would be obvious that the team A would play defensively the entire extra time, this would lower the quality of the " most hyped game in the world cup" by a lot | ||

American experiments The North American Soccer League in the 1970s and then Major League Soccer in the 1990s experimented with a variation of the shootout procedure. Instead of a straight penalty kick, the shootout started 35 yards from the goal and having five seconds to attempt a shot. The player could make as many moves as he could in a breakaway situation in the five seconds, then attempt a shot. This procedure is similar to that used in an ice hockey penalty shot. As with a standard shootout, this variation used a best-of-five-kicks model, and if the score was still level, the tiebreaker would head to an extra round of one attempt per team. This format rewarded player skills, as players were able to attempt to fake out goalkeepers in an attempt to make the shot, as in a one-on-one skills contest. The MLS abandoned this experiment in 2000. | ||
