Haha what

Why not just make it like hockey. If there's a "draw", then play in overtime. The winning team gets 2 points for winning, and the losing team still gets 1 for getting into overtime to begin with.

Or do they use a different points system in soccer, I odn't know

At the minute it's 1 for a draw,3 for a win and 0 if you lose.

The 1 for getting to overtime doesn't sound bad,but there's quite often a case where 2 teams play and for your own teams sake you want a draw.I dunno,just sounds stupid to change it considering how long this system thing has been in use.

Overtime isn't viable for one.

Plus the rest of the world isn't obsessed with not having things end in ties.

*shrug*

In the NHL if the game's a tie after regulation, they have a 5 minute overtime (during the regular season), and both teams get 1 point. If one team manages to score in that time, they get the win and 2 points. Otherwise, the game ends in a draw. Seems easy enough. But yeah there's probably like 80 year old men who would kill themselves if soccer tradition was broken, so for the sake of them just leave it as it is

It's not as much that. One example is that hockey players rotate constantly through out the game where as in football, you are stuck with 11 players and 3 subs. Players will tire a lot quicker and will struggle to complete seasons (they struggle enough now).

yeah overtime isn't really viable in league fixtures, like a man utd/arsenal game. it'd go on forever waiting for someone to score in overtime. soccer is low scoring compared to nearly everything else out there so pulling out a winner every time seems like a stupid idea cause it'd going to kill players.

I'm all for the idea of getting rid of 2 legged games and replays but overtime because of draws in league games is a joke.

i dunno, two legged games in europe and stuff seem fair, otherwise you'd have to play them on a neutral ground

Why? The FA cup isn't played in neutral draws in every round.

I would rather see the extra time used in the FA cup instead of replays.

But in domestic competitions, at least you're playing in the same country, unlike European matches.

Just to correct you, that happened in European competitions (I remember Liverpool won like that in one tie back in the 60's), but it never happened in the World Cup. Before the war, a small handful of games (2 or 3) got decided on a replay. After that, not a single game in world cup history was tied after extra time until 1982, by which time the penalty shoot out had long been introduced.

Frankly penalties are much better than a coin toss - at least there's a footballing element to it, there's still some skill involved and they're entertaining as hell I find (providing I'm a neutral).

yeah, penalties are great to watch when you're a neutral but otherwise its horrible

Plus Portsmouth would be much worse off, since Shaka Hislop has saved like 1 penalty in his career
