Personally I'd do away with pens and go back to extra time golden goal with a twist. Take 2 players off at the end of 90 then 1 every 10 minutes until someone scores.
Involves more skill and tactics than a penalty shoot out

The sooner we're out of Europe and we can get back to proper British rules up the better.

Let's just scrap the penalties and toss a coin like they used to.
John Terry would still be allowed to put on his kit for the toss up if he wasn't in the squad.
It's not rocket science you take 2 men off after 90 mins so if someone is sent off and it's 11 v 10 it then it becomes 9 v 8, 8v 7, 7 v 6. 3 x 10 min periods. If after 30 mins maximum still can't separate you go to pens.
Or 15 mins per 2 extra time periods as now and go 9v9 first period then if no golden goal then 7v7.
No more extra time than now and more likely to get a winner especially if golden goal.
Better to adopt the hockey-style shoot-out.
One player takes ball from eg, centre spot, has a fixed time to beat keeper.
Mad as hatter me, what about taking the penalties "FIRST"
Just putting it out there.
ie:---- Before KO.
All of these ideas are worse than a pelanty shootout, and pelanties are hardly perfect.
If the scores remain level after extra time simply let the teams share the spoils, trophies for everyone!
just keep playing until someone scores
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%.
