Penalty kick shootouts

[kotagiri_tea_planter]

Anyone see the video of the Argie keeper stopping the Dutch penalty and celebrating as the ball almost rolls in? Would've been great if it did.

But it got me thinking about penalty kick shootouts to decide knockout matches and how almost everyone hates them. What if they made them like in game penalty kicks where the ball is live if it's stopped. So instead of having one player against the goalkeeper, you'd have that plus the other 19 outfield players at the edge of the box. The team taking the kick could still score and the defenders would have to kick the ball out if their half. Then play is dead.

Possible criticism could be fatigue after 120 minutes but it wouldn't happen that often since most kicks are scored. And it would involve some team footballing in the actual result. Who knows, maybe it would allow more kicks to score as keepers worry more about rebounds.

Thoughts?

My thoughts are, after 120 minutes of a tie game, to play until a score is made.

And no substitutions shall be allowed.

The PK ending is horseshit.

I read on this forum that they're not a big deal and nothing should be done to try to avoid them.

That's proof that my way should be enacted, post haste.

Take a man off every 10 minutes in extra time if need be. We came this close to having the WC decided on penalty kicks

The tie-breaker should be something that involves a TEAM effort -- not one offensive player against a goalkeeper.
Possibilities:
Corner kicks, instead of penalty kicks -- the first team to score wins the match;
or
Five (5) half field offensive possessions for each side (but starting at mid-field), instead of making the players run the entire field;
or
Something else that involves a TEAM effort.
