Jovetic's hattrick was quality

Game for 3rd-place at the U20s, goes straight to penalties after a goalless 90 minutes.

Extra time is just a load of nonsense if you ask me.

Extra time can provide plenty of drama, and to me seems a bit less random than penalties.

I wonder if they've ever tried a scheme where each team has a player removed every 10 minutes. Perhaps even remove a player from the team that's played more defensively (based on measurable criteria) in that time.

Extra time mostly serves as an undeserved extension of the regulation 90-minute game. They took out every shred of jeopardy when they binned the golden-goal rule.

It's like asking for an extra 30 yards in the hope that you can beat Usain Bolt.

Wouldn't you have to be neck and neck to get the extra 30 yards? in which case it might be worth asking for


In footbal, as you well know, ET means it's a draw, so it's logical to give a bit more time I think to try and land the killer blow.

Or have I missed the point?

I don't understand why it doesn't just go straight to penalties. Like you say, what's the point in an extra 30 minutes? The game lasts 90 minutes (plus injury time), if you can't score then, tough luck. Should go straight to penalties.

Cmon England

If I have no vested interest in a game, I always want penalties the moment extra time is mentioned, so maybe you're right

Extra time is usually very cautious, two tired teams not wishing to throw it away.
