nah totally unfair
Have some sort of point system, like on boxing.
Points for possession, shots on target, area's of possession etc.
Only an idea like, but basically the team that tries to win the game wins rather than the team sitting back playing for the shootout.

What I like about this type of approach, like the penalty shootout before the game/ET idea, is that it would change the nature of the game entirely. Fewer teams would have the type of game plan Chelsea had against Barca or Bayern, so we might see more entertaining games.
On the other hand, it could be the death of underdog victories.![]()
Are you Sepp Blatter?
Points for playing tippy tappy continental football. Would go down well with Barcelona I suppose.
Anything of this sort will, possibly, alter the whole style of a match as teams set out to score the required "points" or whatever and therefore challenge the opposition to try and score.Have some sort of point system, like on boxing.

Maybe possession in the final third, it was just an idea it would need some thinking about obviously.
I don't think it would mean the death of the underdog as most underdog victories (in FA cup etc) are not a result of a shoot out. This would only be an alternative to a shoot out. If the underdog choses to play negative tactics and nick a goal it still may work.

It would be a fiasco, teams would play keep-ball in extra time.
You would rarely get underdog victories as they would automatically lose in the case of a draw, they would be forced to have a go and get raped as Oddball says.
Sepp Blatter wants penalty shoot-out alternative
Fifa president Sepp Blatter has asked Bayern Munich honorary president Franz Beckenbauer to come up with an alternative to the "tragedy" of penalty shoot-outs.
Beckenbauer is head of the Football Task Force 2014, a group designed to recommend rule changes.
"Football can be a tragedy when you go to penalty kicks," Blatter said.
"Football should not go to one to one. When it goes to penalty kicks football loses its essence."

Just after an English team has won the Champions League on penalties, what a coincidence.
Anyone have any ideas for alternatives?
if they playing for a draw then yes, but if they confident they can soak up pressure and win on the break then they still have 90mins plus extra time to do it.
Tournament disciplinary record could be used. Team with most yellow/red cards gets eliminated.
