World Cup: Should the world cup adapt the nhl playoff OT system?

[Vancouver_2010]

I personally believe that the world cup shouldn't end with a penalty kick, especially in the final 4. Soccer, much like hockey, is a team sport. Not an individual sport. I want to see the losing team loses result from a mistake, like a defense lapse or a goalie not making a save in the right time.

Shootout is really unfair to goalies , he pretty much has less than one second to save the ball from entering the net. You can argue that he is not really saving, but rather just guessing where the ball will be.

If i am a fan of the winning team, I wouldn't be as happy because the team pretty much just win by luck. If i am a fan of the losing team, I would be pissed because they lost by just luck.

I think coaches should able to rotate players much like hockey during OT, and the game shouldn't end until someone scores a goal.

Please no. Football is too long of a sport and have too few of substitutions to make it have continuous overtimes. Like having players run for potentially 180 minutes would have serious health concerns, especially in the hotter climates.

I would implement an NBA style anti-back pass protocol to help scoring before doing anything about continuous overtime.

Players can't constantly run around for that period of time. Continuous OT is just begging for injuries.

This would be an interesting rule for a meaningless minor league just to see what would happen.

Golden goals... a fond memory.

As for the original question, do you want more players to die?

Golden goals were fun though.

Penalties are the perfect punishment for talented teams not playing bravely enough.

It would only apply after you cross the centre line for the record. You can still back pass the eff inside offencive portion of the pitch, but just can't cross it after the ball is passed the line.

If I’m not mistaken not a single goal has been scored in the ot in this WC

I know, just like basketball backcourt pass rule. It would be a weird rule at first, but I could see it making it a more interesting games for casual fans. Something the old-school MLS wouldn't considered.

Nah the game is perfect...

 

[illpucks]

NHL should adopt this system

Scoring is "easier" in hockey

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

I don't like the idea, however if they went away from penalties.. I think they should go exchanging free kicks from outside the the side of the box (between the 18 and the side line). So it's a win based on a set piece that's not a PK.

Could also be a stupid idea.

I prefer the golden goal system but scheduling would be a huge problem in a short tournament like this. Can't have games lasting forever.

Trivia corner- how many of you were aware the World Cup used to contain replays?

I think 1982 was the last World Cup where the final, had it finished in a draw, would have brought about a replay.

If they went back to a 16 team final series they could allow for replays.

That would be awesome...and make a lot less money for FIFA...

They should use stopped time for extra time.

If it were up to me, they would use stopped time from about 80 minutes on.

I'd rather we just track the time lost & tack on however much stoppage time it requires, be that 5 minutes or 25.

With blatant time-wasting being clocked at double time.

I'd rather we just track the time lost & take on however much stoppage time it requires, be that 5 minutes or 25.

With blatant time-wasting being clocked at double time.

I’d like to see a ref raise one, two or three fingers in the face of a timewaster and say I’m adding these many minutes thanks to you.

You fool around for 10 seconds, thats 2 minutes.

Football will not be americanized (hopefully)

 

[ecemleafs]

The play in soccer is usually brutal in extra time to begin with. Can't imagine how bad it would be if the players kept playing. A goal would probably be scored when a defender just cramped up and fell at the wrong time.

Meh I was right when I wrote that ; )

Salary cap would be interesting. I mean look at the state of club football. Every league is just a 2-3 team battle season after season with the rest of the teams playing fodder. Only in the EPL where a billionaire can buy into and well ok now it’s a 5-6 team battle.
