Answer 1

good q.
i think penalties are not a good way to end a world cup, it leaves everyone expecting more and with lower opinions of the winning team. i think the golden goal is a good idea or, like they're suggesting, a rematch 2 days later.

Answer 2

Deciding the World Cup final from penalty shoot out isn't fair. Because it only challenges the goalkeeper's skill, and in terms of the shooting, penalty shoot out is mainly based on luck (maybe 80%luck and 10%skill).

Because PSO won't be the skills that finalized the winner, and it would be impossible to get the player to keep on playing more and more extra time (It would be most fair to but it wont be possible) . It would be nice if the final is decided over the golden goal.

Playing on the same score for 90 minutes +30 minutes extra time would obviously state how equalized the two teams are. One goal should be enough to decide the winning side.

Thx for the article! It's interesting ^_^

Answer 3

Well,

They recently officially decided to replay the final if there was a tie (Which is good, because penalties suck to define a match) See, a game is defined by goals, not luck. If neither team score and go to penalties, it's just the luck of the keeper of where he throws himself. But people don't want that, they want a game where if a team scores one goal, the crowd is excited and anxious for more. More drama, not suspense. ^_^

Answer 4

A great World Cup Final shouldn't be decided in penalties. It should be an end score of 2-0!!! Yeah, that's good enough! That would prove how much effort both teams were putting! That would just be thrilling!!!

Answer 5

I have seen Italy win and lose a WC by penalties.

Penalty shoot outs have an appeal of excitement but they leave a bad taste in every-one's mouth as every-one is disappointed because it is not 100% clear-cut.

I think that golden goal is a good compromise before penalties.

Answer 6

Hello ,

Thanks the article is great !

Well i think penalty are very unfair but they are entertaining too ! On the other hand if the match is played until there is a winner , it is fair but it's boring , many teams becomes offensive because one error in the defence can spoil everything !


So i think even though penalties are harsh , they must decide the world cup final if there is not any other alternative !


Many people will disagree with me but that is my personal opinion!

Answer 7

I really think that penalties are unfair, but penalties are only logic solution!!!! Maybe for the WC final there should be Golden goal, but for the rest of the games penalties as normal!!!!

Answer 8

Well a golden goal at extra time that has no time limit would sound better but it would be much more tiring
Penalty kicks are totally unfair so neither of them work to me

Answer 9

penalty kicks...replaying a match is stupid i mean what if they replayed it and it is a tie and then they replayed it and then it is a tie ..etc etc etc...we wont know the winner and it is gonna be BORING

Answer 10

i like penalties cuz it scores goals..the whole point of the game...and no penalties isn't luck its concentration... but i like golden-goal better than normal overtime...
