The sooner we're out of Europe and we can get back to proper British rules up the better.
Approximately 60% of penalty shootouts are won by the team going first. If this makes it more even, then it is a good idea. It is more like a tie break in tennis. Over 70% of penalties are scored to win the tie but if you have to score to stay in, this drops to about 30%.
