This happened in the NHL. A normal NHL game lasts for 3 Periods of 20 minutes. They played 6 overtime periods. In total that's equivalant to 3 games! When someone finally scored, not because of skill but because of a mistake due to tiredness the stadium was half empty.
Why are penalties a lottery? It takes still to place the ball where the keeper can't get it.

Its a lottery because any player that calls himself professional can score from twelve yards out, problems arise in a match situation because even the best are effected by the crowd and the occasion, I wouldn't mind if the match went on until late as the fittest and most prepared would win through and if people have something better to do than watch the World Cup final because it over runs a couple of hours perhaps they should not have been there in the first place
