Blatter wants to scrap penalty shootouts

He makes a valid point but I think all the alternatives have been tried and failed. The issue with the current system is that rather than lose, teams would rather hold out for the lottery of penalties. To remove that you would have to remove the lottery element at the end of extra time and keep on playing. However, there's no guarantee that both teams would go flat out for a win (there would still be a fear of losing) and extra time could last for a considerable amount of time risking injury to the players on the pitch.
 
Surely Batter must go for bungs as an alternative to penalties. So the game is decided befor the match starts by the amount of ifddle. Then nobody gets too depressed or worked up. Plenty money all round. Everybody's happy!

Seems to work in Italy (allegedly ;)).
 
I've been thinking about an alternative to penalties, and I reckon the best way is to take 1 player from each team, with the others crowding around.

Each player has 3 goes each to do some kind of skill, that may showcase their ability or just attempt to humiliate the opponent.

The winner is decided when f***ing Tubes or some cunt says both players' names at the end, and one of them (the winner) gets mobbed by all the other players.
 
There is nothing "tragic" about a match going to penalties nor is it "a lottery". A penalty shootout is a test of skill under immense pressure and sometimes players buckle. They are perfectly fine as they are. A top level professional footballer should be able to sidefoot a ball into a space a yard wide from 12 yards at reasonable pace which is all it takes.

Blatter is a wanker

Blatter shoot out

Each side gets to blast balls at the daft fecker - the first team to make the brown envelope fall out of his back pocket wins
 
Extra time of 10 mins each way

If still level then take two players off each team and play next goal the winner. Every 5 mins remove another player from each team
 
The police objected to the 'Golden Goal' as they didn't know exactly when the match was going to end, and therefore couldn't be prepared.
 
Why cant Sepp just decide who wins after extra time, bit like Strictly, Sepp and his crew could hold up cards to decide which non English team deserves it the most.
This offers the potential for an increase in wages for FIFA reps as the brown envelope scheme would have better prospects.

In a serious note the bloke is a knob of the highest order, he epitomizes what is wrong in world football, FIFA is a closed shop and stuck in a rut of old fashioned values and open to corruption beyond our belief.
 
Play 2x10mins extra time, No goals scored - Move one goal to the halfway-line and keep the other where it is. Then play 5-a-side.
