Because at the moment it is totally all about the striker and it all comes down to atm is whether the keeper guessed the right way or not (or cheat by coming off the line). At least this way, you need to increase the skill of the pen taker AND the skill of goalkeeper actually comes into the equation. The shootouts would never end, cuz everyone would miss or the keeper would save it. Regulars pens are fine, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'd scrap extra time and just go to pens after 90 minutes, you could see how knackered the players were as soon as they started so extra time was a waste Agreed. Some say penalties aren't fair, but extra time is even worse. Losing the game because you can't put the ball in the net is football skill related, losing the game because half of your team have cramp isn't really.

I remember hearing a story about a tourist in my ex's Dad's pub in South of Spain giving out stink at the telly about a player missing a penalty in a CL game and going on about how the hell players at that level can miss a penalty. The guy next to him took great exception to this. Tells him in no uncertain terms that at that level and in that scenario with the pressure, the goal "looks about as wide as (points at the toilet door) that door" then goes back to his pint. Later on when the angry man had left, the tourist asked 'who was that bloke'. Turns out it had been Ray Kennedy, who won 3 European Cups with Liverpool haha - awesome Edited May 31, 2016 by Tayls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's far more to it than that. Goalkeepers that are good at saving penalties don't just "guess" correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
