The College Dropout Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 In the NASL, back in the seventies, they used to have shootouts. You got five seconds to shoot the ball in a one on one situation vs the keeper. Kind of like the loading menu in FIFA 08. Wouldn't mind that at all. This sounds so gay. I LOVE penalties. The measure of a man nh, 1 touch, 1 shot, 1 chance. Players choke, some become heroes, some become villains.. Football is not only a sport but entertainment and there is nothing more nail-biting and tense than a penalty shoot out. Love them even though they've rarely been good to me.

Exiled in Texas Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 In the US (High School soccer) uses the shootout rather than just Penalties. The ball is placed on a center mark 35 yards from goal, and the player has 5 seconds to dribble/shoot. The player must shoot within 5 seconds, keeper can come out and challenge or stay put and wait for the shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes too long.. penalties are far more exciting and dramatic. Ref blows his whistle, the run up, the shot, the dramatic outcome. That's why I love penalties. They are responsible for some of the best drama ever seen within football.... Baggio '90, Southgate '96.. even Terry's miss was nail-biting dramatic stuff (I had a lot of money riding on Chelsea)..

It's obvious to everyone that playing for shoot-outs is dumb... only if your numerically disadvantaged is it a good idea...

nobby_solano Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 i think there great - as long as your not involved in anyway!! yup... very tense and entertaining watching as a neutral. i did have a good old chuckle when modric missed against turkey like, though not as much as when c. ronaldo missed in the champions league final.

Cronky Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 There are better tests of skill than a single blast at goal. In the 70's, the Americans used a shoot-out, where a player was given the ball 35 yards from goal, and had about 12 seconds to beat the keeper by whatever means they could. FIFA stopped them purely in order to keep the laws of the game uniform throughout the world. That's worth looking at again. There's a strong element of luck with penalties, because if the keeper guesses the right way, it becomes much more difficult to score. Added to that, refs don't enforce the rule about keepers staying on their line until the ball is kicked. It becomes a matter of how much the keeper can get away with, and for some reason no ref seems to have the nerve to order a kick to be re-taken any more.

steve_69 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I'd probably feel better about them if either Newcastle or England had won one. As it is I think they're shit, but what's the alternative? That said I have actually enjoyed watching the shootouts in this tournament. Me and some mates have been betting on each penalty taker to score or miss. I'm quids in so far!

UV Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Should just settle it on number of shots on target, or a points decision like in boxing, decided on by the ref (or 4th official) & linesmen. Would encourage positive play during the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 In the event of a tie after extra time, the winner should be the team that has had the most on-target shots from within the opposition penalty area. Unworkable, perhaps, but it would stop teams playing boring, negative football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

relámpago blanco Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 At the end of the game each team should get 3 free kicks. One in the middle, and 2 either side. When the ball is in play the game works as normal (each team has 10 + goalkeeper until the ball goes out of play. So you can shoot or pass or whatever just like a real set piece. After 3, it's sudden death until there is a winner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
