    ABBA penalty shoot outs!

    The winner takes it all!

    I don't see the need myself. It risks removing the skill from the coin toss.

    Sounds like they're over thinking it.

    “IFAB have identified a theory that the current arrangements for penalty kicks potentially provide an unfair advantage to the team taking the first kick"

    Surely, a simple look at the statistics will show whether or not there's an advantage.

    The statistics do show an advantage, the theory is about why there is one. The statement is not great I guess, but it's much better to go first in the current system.

    Similar structure to a tennis tie break

    Why don't they say the side with most corner kicks wins and be done with all this nonsense.

    I know, you're going to say "what if that's level as well" !

    well clever clogs, the side who hit the woodwork most times.

    Put it this way, "anything bar penalties"

    Why don't they have no time limit to extra time and play golden goal rule

    They did golden goal in Euro 96 and 00, and it was rubbish.

    As long as we can have Bjorn and Benny then I'm all for it.

    Shame we still haven't got Whitts. He'd be first up to take a pen, grabbing the ball off the ref, Gimme, gimme, gimme.

    No doubt the FA think this will make the game more marketable. All they think about is Money, money, money.

    I feel that there are too many trials for rule changes being spoken about. You don't have to change a number of things all at once.

    circa:-Splott Park in the 1960's, coats for goalposts, you're losing 17-12, but it's nearly tea-time.
    Only way to solve it is "last goal the winner"

    Re: ABBA penalty shoot outs!

    I would change it so that players had to hit the ball on the full rather than from the penalty spot. What's your volley view?

    How about the hockey way?
    One player with the ball from, say, centre spot, has ten seconds to score or fail.

    Think they tried that in the MLS a few years back.

    Would've been robbed of the Ben Turner moment if that had been the case.
