Blatter against penalties a few days after an English team win on penalties in the Champs Lg, who'd have thought that?!

Someone just needs to mention to Sepp Blatter that if penalties are scrapped England might actually win something. Immediate U-turn.

| After extra time they should give the cup to the team with the most possession, shots, shots on target etc etc. Might stop teams getting a pasting and hanging on for dear life only to win on pens.
Not that any team has done that recently  |

What if they're the same?
Maybe we should have an ice hockey-esque shootout, where the players have to dribble the ball from the halfway line and score - or score from outside of the box. It would certainly stop things like Bayern sending Neuer in third.
To be honest, there's no real way to decide a game fairly. Golden goal was fairer than a shootout IMO, purely because the game was at least being decided by a goal in open play.
Maybe we should go to a judges scorecard like boxing; the British will be able to come up with even more conspiracy theories.

And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_53838.jpg |

It was a good idea in theory, but, in reality, sides just became more negative as the fear of losing overtook any ambition they had to score the decisive goal.
I don't think there is a fair way of doing it.....Shots on target is a reasonable shout, and maybe in a one-off game you could try the team who scored the first goal decides it (though a goaless draw would bollox that one up!!!). |

I'd use a points system.
Most possession 1pt
Most shots 1pt
Most on target 1pt
If it was a tie then you could just use 90 minutes as opposed to 120 and if still level use the number of shots that hit woodwork or corners to decide.
If all things are still level then the two sides are obviously inseperable and should just share the trophy lol. |

They should just take it to an American Idol style vote. And forget about the score during the game too. How can it be fair Bayern to be leading a match for 84 minutes, Man Utd to be leading for 2 and Man United be declared the winners? It can't. So lets do away with goals altogether and just go with the voting system.
Arsene Wenger supports it.

I used to think the NASL shoot outs were a good idea

The best 'shoot-out' was the one with Diana Ross to open the 1994 world cup.
International soccer has been boring for years. Blatter and his pals fiddling with a few knobs isn't going to change that.
This is the worst Athletic cup performance... since the Wafer League final last month.

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.

Meh. All they do is pass the ball, incredibly accurately, score goals. Have one of the best players to ever grace the game and have been the best side in Europe of the past five years.
Chelsea beat them, so they are rubbish. |
