I don't know if any of you ever caught the old MLS League when it first started, they had this awful way of finishing games that were level after 90 mins. They would start around 40 yards from goal and it was player vs keeper. There was then a timer in bottom corner which counted down from around 20 secs and the player had that time to get the ball to the goal and beat the keeper. To make things even more confusing if the team won the shootout they would only be awarded 2 points for the win rather than the normal 3 for a normal win. Luckily it didn't last long and they got shot of it.

make them all stop playing football after 120 mins, bring out the brooms and start a game of Quiditch

Rush Goalkeeper for 10 mins

attacking player starts with the ball on the halfway line, keeper in goal.

The attacker gets as many touches as they want and the keeper can move anywhere they want after the 1st touch.

Play continues until a goal is scored, ball goes out of play or the keeper gets 2 hands on the ball

Each team selects a player to take part in a keepy up competition, and whomever gets the highest wins!
I think England might be even worse at this than penalty shoot outs x

It's even easier to score like that, than it is to score a penalty. It would go on all day.

Extra time MULTI BALL!!

"A joust using the corner flags as lances, with one linesman allocated to each side to act as "team horse""

A countback system after extra time whereby whatever team did better previously in the tourney wins (i.e won their games more convincingly)

Could always play dodgeball....

^ If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball JT

John Terry chooses a team to celebrate the win with.

Bumslaps.

I hate how competitions are decided by penalties if its a draw after ET. Really makes me angry.

Another thinly vailed dig at English teams, septic bladder didn't like Chelsea winning and guess what he's asked a German to come up with a plan.

I agree that Penalties are not the best option so lets just agree that whenever an English team is playing and it's level at the end we should just award the trophy to the opposition. Septic and his frenchy mate will be over the moon!

The best way to do it though would be to count which team had the most shots on target and award them the win, it then rewards attaching teams, which is really what Septic is wanting

So what if it is a cruel way to lose??

United beat Bayern in 99 with two late late goals in injury time, that was bloody cruel. I didn't hear anybody talking about scrapping injury time??

How about when a team dominates their opponents for 90 mins and do everything but score?? Then the other boys run up the other end of the pitch and score with their one and only chance of the game??? That's also a cruel way to lose but I don't hear people calling for the result to be scrapped and to replay the match again.

Penalties, while maybe cruel are actually completely fair cos neither side has an advantage really. I love them. So man up Blatter you pansy

I still maintain that UEFA & FIFA enter a secret amendment to the rules of football whereby if any team hits the corner flags in the half that they are attacking with the ball then they immediately win. Only the refs will know this rule so when they blow for full time as soon as a flag is hit everyone is stunned and has no idea what has just happened.

The news would slowly trickle through the players first from the ref and then gradually around the ground. The looks on people's faces would be absolutely priceless.

1 sub rule would be that from a corner at least 10 passes must be completed before the flag could be hit again. Thus avoiding any immediate wins from a corner.

Step Ladder can go bonk himself.

Penalties are a lottery

Penalties are fine. There's a good combination of skill and ability to handle pressure involved.

whoever hits the crossbar from the centre spot first?!

Multiball ftw!

Take off both goalkeepers. Have a coin toss as to who gets to take the centre.

Fight

Why did they take away the Golden Goal rule? I thought that would have settled the game much better.
