I don't mind the concept of the penalty shootout. I do, however, think it's an abysmal way to decide a match.

To be fair, I am yet to come up with a better idea myself outside of the good, old-fashioned replay.

I played keeper for a bit and it always amazed me when people miss them... they're so easy to make.

I'm pretty lukewarm on them. I posted this in an "alternative to PKs thread"

quote:

8 on 8 set piece scenario. Ball is placed at the corner flag of the possessing team's choice. Offense has 8. Defense has 8 plus the goalie. Play begins when the corner taker puts the ball into play. The possession ends either on a goal, a foul on the offense, or the ball is cleared past the midfield line. Alternate until one team scores and stops the other in the same OT "period".

ah yes, land runs.

i love watching PKs, but i hate that they are the determining factor in the outcome of the game.

Fun to watch, but I don't think they are a good indication of who should win a game.

I saw an idea a few days ago where the PKs would be held before the 30-minute overtime. I think I could get behind that idea.

I used to hate them until I read Soccernomics. There's a whole chapter in there on PKs that swayed me.

Swayed me as well. I love them. They're a part of the game.

I do miss Golden Goal though

It's an alternative. Not perfect but neither are PKs.
