Seriously though, what's wrong with PK's after 120 minutes of stalemate soccer?

Brings the outcome of the game to a skills competition. Not taking into account the components of the entire sport.
It's a reasonable argument. But I understand why they do it with the current substitution rules, etc. Not to mention it's a thrilling few minutes.

I do think it's a horrible way to decide it.
My big issue with it is it's mostly just luck. There's not much skill involved.
But like everyone has said, what else can you do?

More like a guessing game competition.

What? PK's are in play even during regulation.

Lets take field goals out of football then because it doesn't take into account the components of the entire sport.

There is actually quite a fair amount of skill involved. Guessing right is only half the battle.

But it's not.
There is actually a science to the PK.

Ehhhhhh, if you guess wrong, you are done. Guessing is a huge part of it.

If a batter guesses wrong on a curveball, he's done, too.

It involves the same amount of skill and/or luck as there is in regulation.

Of course. Just like field goals are in football and putts are in golf. But if the US open was decided by a putting contest it doesn't take into account the full body of work. That's all I'm saying.
I don't think it needs to be fixed, though. I understand why it's in place.

If you can't tell the difference, then there's no point in even discussing this.

It's in the book 'Soccernomics' in which they explain how you can determine within something over 80% of the time which way a shooter is going to shoot and which way a goalie is going to block.
I'll see if I can find the info on the web so I don't have to type it out word for word from the book.

There is no more luck in pk's than there is at any other point in the game.

Goalie guesses right, he just throws his body out there trying to block the ball with anything he can hoping he stops it.
A batter's swing is much more coordinated and precise.
