alright I feel like an American for suggesting this but whatever. what if instead of a regular penalty shoot out, the player has to put the ball further away anywhere on the line I marked red.
foul penalties during the game are still from the penalty spot.
I think it would make it a little bit less based on luck and it would be cooler to watch
Isaiah Rogers
It's way easier to ban Portugal, kick them out of Europe and nuke that piece of land
Noah Torres
Just play until someone scores. They park the bus knowing there is PKs looming.
Gavin Garcia
>luck
just fucking learn to aim properly
also, hold the penalty shootout before the actual overtime, then play the overtime
if the score is still a draw at the end of the overtime, the team that won the shootout wins
if not, the team that won the overtime wins
this way, the team that lost the shootout would have no other choice than to attack
Joseph Thomas
what about a series of free kicks and set pieces instead?
William Davis
>tf >t-
Oh fuck this isn't an American
>tf >tt
Nicholas James
Just make them start to run with the ball from the center like a hockey penalty.
Allow the goalkeeper to move where he wants
Sebastian Lewis
Thats actually a good system
William Young
Thats actually not a bad idea. The penalty time would be longer but fuck it. Kind of like a free kick outside the penalty box shootout. Even as a portugeese, I like it
Brody Ward
This isn't bad either.
Isn't it great to see the ideas France can come up with when it's not being shot up or in a full bukkake hold out
Camden Wright
If the match is tied after extra time, the tie is awarded to the team with best goal differential in prior matches of the tournament. This is known before the game starts, so the unfavorable team will know that it needs to win. It also discourages parking the bus in the group rounds because you may need goals to advance in the knockout round. And therefore if you are expert bus parkers in the groups and you try that shit in the knockouts, then you lose.
Bentley Campbell
I like it. However would it tip the shootout too much in goalie's favour?
Noah Martinez
This.
MLS tried it before. It got scrapped.
William Edwards

this makes no difference to how things already are though. currently, the shitter team will generally sit back and defend and force penalties cos they have more chance of going through than actually playing football. in your system the team that's already won the shootout would do the same thing.
Michael Perry
i would do it the other way around. foul penalties are most of the time really unfair so they should be a bit harder. i'm fine with the penalty shootout at the end of the game because it's a face to face with the goalie like in a western. it's a bit about luck but it's also about keeping your nerves. skill doesn't have to be involved, there was a 120min match for that
Nathan Davis
>France actually has a good idea
Some call the fucking pope to bless this guy, and FIFA and UEFA to implement this.
Austin Reed
Why was the golden goal rule scrapped anyway? I thought that one was fun.
Juan Bailey
this is f brilliant.
Chase Jenkins
Ended up with both teams playing safe and waiting for pens, didn't really work
Blake Kelly
Can't polish a turd, soccer will never be watchable to me
Adam Myers
To be honest Australia deserves that meme just as much too
Blake Bailey
>this way, the team that lost the shootout would have no other choice than to attack yeah and the other team would just park the bus. brilliant idea
Eli Wright
What if the player has to take the PK from wherever he was fouled like a normal free kick, the only difference is no opposing players can stand in the box?
Julian Barnes
as opposed to both team parking the bus in a great contest of nothingness we currently have most of the time
Luis Evans
Australia with the banter! Will football ever recover from this?
Mason Allen
Oh you!
Dylan Rodriguez
This is pretty good, but tradition won't allow it. Alas
Leo Phillips
>france suggests a way to win without having to actually win at the end
quelle surprise
Carter Russell
but France wins at the end, Ken'ichiro-Tyrone
Camden Butler
Blatter and Platini are no longer around, so the chance of it happening is real now.
I'd also make the sequence fairer, like using the Thue–Morse sequence or the sequence that tennis tiebreaks use.
Angel Parker
Anticlimactic as fuck though. I'd rather we had semen slurping during the game, not at the end.
