So why should we get rid of them just cause some players can't cope with the pressure.
I only talk of lotteries as you first brought up penalties being lotteries.
Or the fear of making a mistake might make for cautious games, esp in golden goal time. |
Penalties are a lottery, the team that holds their nerve best wins and that is not what football is about, when you look in the record books it doesn't say Brazil won the 1994 World Cup it say's Brazil won the 1994 World Cup on pens, it's a sham that the pinnacal of footballing achievement is settled in such a way.
I certainly don't think teams would be cautious in normal time if they had goalden goal extra time, extra time these days is pretty much a complete waste of time, hardly anything ever happens and nobody does anything except wait for penalties.
