man i fucking hate this shit, why don't they just make it look hockey shootouts then? take the ball from the top of the box and run at the keeper, the keeper is allowed to leave his line. What's so wrong about this?
Nicholas Allen
I don't know, maybe just FUCKING SCORE IT? Or something.
Levi Adams
This is why golden goal is better
Adrian Davis
So a moving penalty shootout. Why?
Elijah Thompson
It definitely isn't. Extra time is already very defensive without the golden goal, it would ruin it.
Nathan Walker
Use a bit of skill instead of making it into luckkick
Joseph Collins
Wow, it just so fucking stupid that I don't even know how to reply. Well done Amerifat, well done.
Austin Martinez
If the player is allowed to move, it's be even more diffucult for the goalkeeper
Matthew Richardson
Sports should be not only physical but mental.
Fuck the autists desu.
Oliver King
Because then the player has the ability to feint movement while the keeper is also allowed to cut angles or have a shot at saving it rather than "guessing the wrong way" and it being completely over
Wyatt Hall
RETURN THE GOLDEN GOAL, FUCK THIS STUPID LOTTERY SHIT
Joshua Murphy
Fucking this. I never understand why everyone are calling penalty lottery - it's ALWAYS about skills. If you're good enough - you score. If you're shit - you just fucks up. Easy and simple.
Lincoln Wright
Trips don't lie. You need to score to win.
But the law of sports don't lie either. You win by playing the game.

Penalties are also part of the game and if you cannot score it, it just mean that you're not good enough.
Noah Flores
>ruined 2002
that would be FIFA paying off the refs to ensure South Korea advanced lad
so Messi is the worst player of all time because he missed it 3 days ago? but he's the goat because he pushed it in in 2011 and 2015? Penalties are fucking luck and the fact that the ball, the surface, and the way it connects with your foot is so important that environmental elements rather than skill come into play is just random shit that should be eliminated from the sport
Jason Jenkins
Maybe they should just score then
Ethan Long
He's a mental midget
Owen Gomez
> part of the game So are free throws in basketball. They're there to punish players for fouling to prevent a goal. They shouldn't decide the game, that's like saying let's flip a coin
Nathan Moore
2 solutions for extra time literally give me a good argument against multiball
Or moving the goal posts in towards center 10 yards each There isn't one
Caleb Fisher
but there's minimal luck in free throws, it actually takes a semblance of skill that's why centers have abysmal free throw percentages. A penalty is just dumb luck a lot of the time. You cannot tell me that THIS is from a lack of skill.
this Penalty shootout just justifies a need to change the way the match is neded
Parker Wood
>said the guy that never took a PK on life
PKs put players under a lot of stress. If your mind isn't sane enough, you'll fuck it up... It's the moment where boys and men are distinguished...
John Harris
By knowing how to kick a fucking ball.
Nicholas Williams
Yea, sure, take it to extreme. Messi also fucked one penalty against Chelsea a few years ago. It worth to mention, that at that moment he never scored against English team in CL. Why I write this? Penalties are also about mentality (watch the post I answered) and when you feel pressure, it's easier to make a mistake. If you allow pressure to do it - you're just weak atm.
Jack Ward
South Korea deserves nothing but suffering. 2002 was so fucking disgusting
Dominic Lewis
I dont know why they dont just move the goals towards the center in the first place. Just shortening up the field 10-20 yards would change little but increase scoring enough so that there's less boring slurpfests

They should be free kicks (without the possibility of running with the ball) Penalties are fucking boring and never lead to a satisfactory victory.
Wyatt Hernandez
wtf is this porous ass ?
Jacob Lopez
It would have changed nothing.
Juan Miller
he put his support foot right under the ball. That's not luck, that's shitty technique
so what do you want, a free kick from the top of the box with a wall of 3-4 defenders and nothing else?
I think this is too hard
Alexander Sanders
Why? because it "looked different"?
Liam Nguyen
That's not bad actually, how often do they manage to score?
Aiden Rodriguez
start the game with a penalty shootout, whoever wins get the win if the game is tied after 90 minutes, this way players will know what they have to play for since the begining
Adrian Morales
Has this been tested? Seems interesting but could get really fucking stupid
Cameron Bailey
not enough but this was the game winning save it surely beats the penalties excitement of now

Jacob Richardson
Personally I think penalties ruin games. I dont mean in knockout games during overtime to crown a winner, but during regular game and regular time.
Penalties are often awarded for very minor offenses.
As of now, penalties result in a goal being scored 80 % of the time, I think they should move the penalty spot back a bit so it would be a 50/50 chance of scoring a goal. Penalties today are just too strong.
Carter Sanchez
golden goals are the most retarded and idiotic and insulting thing to have ever been done in the history of football.
Evan Price
instead of penalties each team should jerk off and see who cums more semen or which cum jumps longer
Jonathan Jenkins
the only fair way to solve a tie after 90 min and extra time is to have another game the next day. and the next day if there is another tie and so on

No penalty shootout. They have to score, eventually.

Mason Russell
Yeah, golden goal was just cruel, watching your team lose from one was like getting your balls suddenly cut off.
Wyatt Evans
it's such a retarded thing. penalties shootout may be all abuot luck, but at least both teams get equal chances. with the golden goal one team never has the chance to respond. who was the diot who had such a misbegotten idea
Kevin Harris

Ayden Diaz
If you have a team that can shoot like Matias Fernandez or Charles Aranguiz it's nothing like a lottery It's about fitness, stamina and mental fortitude youtube.com/watch?v=M5F_WCEdRFY If you think these are luck you're a big dummie
Evan Walker
This looks fucking awesome tbqh, too bad FIFA are a bunch of faggots that would never put it into consideration because of muh traditions.
Hunter Perry
No. It has very little to do with football but it's tremendous drama.
Also, a heck of a lot better than a fucking coin toss. Yes, that happened.
James White
Italy literally owes their only European title to a fucking coin toss, kek.
Oliver Wilson
pretty much. football is a sport where a tie is a perfectly normal result. The problem omes when you need to have a team win at all costs. That is what goes against the core of the sport. No matter what system you choose to determine the winner, it will always be wrong and unfair. So haing it be one where mental fortitude and concentration is the determining factor is not so bad in perspective.
Kevin Gray
the alternative is to have both team advancing. I wonder how that could work. But at least for the title you could give it to both

Michael Davis
I'm someone who doesn't know much about soccer, and I find one very big flaw with the whole "penalties = luck" argument.
Penalty kicks happen during the actual game too. Are those just luck also? Does it take actual skill to score a penalty kick, or is it all just luck?
If it takes actual skill, then a penalty shootout is obviously not just a lottery. It it's just luck, then there's something fundamentally wrong with the sport of soccer that a team that is fouled inside the box has to rely on pure chance to score. Either way, something is wrong here.
Ryan Lee
This sounds like it would only encourage even more bus parking and semen slurping.
>Win the pre-game penalties >Park bus for 90 minutes because you win on the tie
Isaac Sanders
lots of teams park the bus already waiting for penalties, i dont think it would change much really other than players being less nervous in the shootout because not everything is lost if they miss
Matthew Rivera
.
David Myers
Why not just provide a greater incentive to score goals during the 90 minutes to make draws less likely in the first place? For example 3-2 could be worth more points for the victor than a 1-0 victory.
Ayden Cox
This looks like such a drag When thinking about things like this, you have to take into account that teams will do anything and everything to win Giving literally infinite time encourages boring time consuming tactics
Jackson Myers
We're talking about penalties here, these happen during knockout stage There are no points involved, you either pass or get btfo'd Come on get it together
Nathaniel Thomas
Solution: If a game is still tied after regulation, then each team will select 4 players to play a 4 on 4 game using small goals played on a field that is slightly smaller than the penalty box. First to 3 goals wins. No luck, pure skill
Carson Young
You know what we REALLY need and would fix most of Football's problems? Double elimination brackets Double elimination brackets encourage consistency play To be considered the best in a league, any league, you should be able to beat any team two times instead of meme'ing your way into victory
Carson Perez
i actually unironically approve this
Cooper Scott
and what happens in the losers backet when it's tied after 90?
Daniel Lewis
Proceed as normal If you get meme'd by penalties twice in the same tournament then you weren't meant to be the champion anyway
Brody Ross

Kevin Butler
>ruined Baggio's eternal legacy in 1994 He was injured the whole Cup, not really his fault (even though everyone remembers him for that here, it's kinda sad)
>ruined 1998 eliminating the best Italian roster in the history of the sport Mid 80's/early 90's was probably better; then again, it would be "ruined the best French roster in the history" otherwise. Also, 1998 killed the best Netherlands team since Cruyff's days
>ruined 2002 getting South Korea to a semi-final Yeah, that was shitty. [spoiler]2002 was shitty on many levels and the refballing was disgusting, especially for Brazil[/spoiler]
>ruined 2006 getting the best Argentina squad in the history of the sport eliminated The very same guys who lost the previous Confederations Cup in a terrible fashion. Not really the best Argentina NT by far
>ruined 2010 from having the first African team in the semis Word. Made Uruguay relevant again though.
>ruined Messi from being the GOAT Nah
>ruined Chelsea's dreams in 2008 Who fucking cares
>ruined Riquelme's European career I'll give you that.
>ruined Raul's hopes of winning something with Spain See Chelsea
Cooper Kelly
this, plus the fact that most penalty offences end in a red card so goal + player sent off = double punishment for an offense that sometimes could even be a ref's mistake. and if the player gets a suspension out of it too that's a triple punishment.
Jonathan Cox
>How do we fix this shit
Teach players how to take penalties, teach goalies how to stop them
Then it's up to them to whether or not they can bite down and man up for the moment
Problem solved

thread over
Jace Long
I think a fundamental problem with football in general is that the ruleset pretty much in itself encourages "playing to draw"
>90 minutes regular playtime >11 players on each team >Relatively big field >Very limited amount of subs etc.
People get exhausted after these long playtimes, there's like a million people on the field so you can always let plenty of people pretty much cuddle the goalkeeper etc. I don't think it's surprising that even the big teams that are supposed to crush their opponent will often find themselves in situations where they will draw or just barely scrape by with one late goal or something.
If the fields were smaller, play-time and player amount was reduced I bet a lot of problems would just be resolved. It's hard to camp the bus when your opponent has less distance to cover, you have less players at your disposal, people have more energy and managers can sub more freely etc.
