Penalty Shoot-outs

[BLUEmin Marvellous]

I always love a good penalty shoot-out, often said as being a poor way to decide a game, but everyone loves them unless your team is involved. I'm sure the following idea has been mentioned before but I was wondering how other people would feel about it. After each Prem match, a penalty shoot-out competition took place, separate to the league but still had some kind of reward. This would simulate the atmosphere, and therefore, players would have the chance to practice in a 'real' situation as opposed to on the training ground.

i'm not sure what kind of incentive they could offer. it would be kind of interesting if they offered like a shootout trophy with a nominal prize, and had it be single elimination with a set bracket based on each teams schedule, so at the end of the game they'd participate in the shootout and the final day of the season, 2 teams will have a shootout for the trophy.

it would be a great way to improve our ability for shootouts, and aside from liverpool english clubs and the national team don't seem to be great at them, though i honestly couldn't see the FA instituting something like that.

my personal preference, though it would never ever happen i'm sure, is that they modify the FIFA rules so that after 2 periods of regular extra time, there would be a period of indefinite golden goal. i don't see how a team can lose a penalty shootout without feeling a little bit cheated so thats personally why i don't like them.

I like them, but always thought they should do the shootout at the start of the game so if you lose the shootout you know damn well you best not be level at the end of the game!
