re: Would pushing the penalty kicks back 10 yards make shootouts more exciting?

I've played soccer my entire life, and I was actually wondering this.

But I think the real answer is running penalty kicks. They do it at the highest level of Texas high school soccer. Takes a lot more skill.

Player starts from the circle and has like 5 seconds to get a shot off. They can dribble and keeper can come off his line.

Wow that'd be interesting.

I was called an idiot yesterday for suggesting this.

It's a good system, and would be (IMO) the best way to decide a game after 120 minutes....better than a PK shootout. Still keep PK's in the game for fouls in the box though.

When the MLS began they used this type of shoot out to settle ties. It was scrapped pretty quickly I think

I think Texas did away with this a few years ago and moved to traditional pk's.
