I hated the tie in the Olympics but I hate the PKs even more. A World Cup final should NEVER end with PKs.
Repeat after me. Expand the goal 2 feet every ten minutes in overtime and first goal is a golden goal.
LRC note: Rojo started this thread before the PKs had begun. It had a slightly different title as he was talking in the present tense. We have changed the title since the game is over.
Rather stop giving penalties for accidental contact of ball and elbow or for rough breathing on another player...
Penalty shoot outs are the most tense and dramatic events in sport. It's not luck - the players with the strongest nerves win, which is why certain countries like England and Holland nearly always lose their penalty shootouts. We saw it even with Harry Kane the other day.

Do you actually believe half the crap you post? Or do you just like pretending to be Skip Bayless or something?
I wish that our sport had half the passion, nerves, and drama of World Cup. Not a huge soccer fan but I started to tear up a little watching the happiness for Argentina and the disappointment for France.
Track? You either get massive arrogant posing, lukewarm hugs and handshakes, or turning your flag into a cape. It’s just so damned bland by comparison.
As a journalist he says whatever as it will get clicks

You have no idea about fotball.

Let's make a deal and say no time is valid if it uses pacers. At least soccer players are actually competing and not time trialing.

When you watch exactly 1 futbol match every 4 years, you don't get to have an opinion. Please STFU!
Much better way of settling a tie than what’s done in cross country
Golden goal and silver goal were tried (I think European cup only?) in the late 1990s (Germany won 1996 Euro with golden goal) but they returned to full extension and penalties again.
I normally agree with not wanting to see a shootout but this game needed to end on Fox by 1:00 EST so we could watch some real football.
It should be golden goal in extra time. If no goals scored, MLS penalties.
You’re silly. Did your brother turn down your request to tie in a race?
Rojo comes up with another idiotic idea. What a surprise!
Penalties are a test of your poise, mental toughness and ability to withstand the weight of nations on your shoulders. It has been part of the game. Don’t mess with it.
Already the joke of a VAR system has robbed the game of its fluidity and spontaneity. Keep your crappy NFL inspired ideas to yourself you bum!
Yes I believe what I say. Penalties are a joke. Imagine if Argentina had lost in the quarters in penalties. There is no need for them since with modern technology we can expand goals..
People say they are dramatic. You don't think a golden goal would be even more dramatic?
Or let's take that logi and apply it toa ll sports. Wouldn't a free throw contest in the NBA be equally dramatic? No double overtime. If it's tied, we shoot free throws.
Penalties is full of drama, I love it.
Expanding the goal lines is a terrible idea.

Lots of free time today eh? Aren't there some transgenders running a race somewhere that you should be working yourself up over?
Not crazy about games coming down to penalty kicks, but expanding the goal would be worse.
