Years ago a supporter came up with this idea, put it to the football authorities but they all ignored him . Personally I think it would be better than what we have now.
If level at 90 , immediately take the penalty shoot out. Whoever wins it gets awarded half a goal . Then play 30 mins , guaranteeing that someone wins by a “ goal” score rather than a penalty count

Not a bad idea that. Would also make extra time a much better spectacle.
Think it was the mercantile credit classic event at Wembley which had an alternative. Striker gets the ball half way line and has 20 seconds to score. It goes out of play times up. But if the keeper saves the first attempt and it cones out you have till the timer runs out. Keeper fouls it’s a “goal” means there’s some skill involved.

not that I kind a penalty shoot out mind.

Do it like boxing, a points system, 5 refs judge both teams put up the name of the best team and a camera shows each one and the most voted wins the match, and after 90 mins no extra time, because nobody wants to go through that again. That is one idea any better ones ?.

Have you been at the Bostick again? o_O
 
I lke the way Ice Hockey does it.

Golden goal but every few minutes both sides have to take a player off the ice. Means the manager actually has to manage by deciding who stays on

Why not do the crossbar challenge? A player is not expected to hit the crossbar. So when he misses it wont be as devastating to him. Each team takes 5 and if, as expected, they all miss, first team who hits it wins.

scratch that - half a goal :emoticon-0102-bigsm
 
Take the pens BEFORE the game then the loser has to make a game of it namely England like on Sunday, but the Italians would have bored us all playing sidewards backwards football and they the best at that .

true as many have said don't think we will get a better chance, home pitch advantage crowd in great voice, I was gutted when Rashford missed, and was saying why all the poncing around he sent the goalie the wrong way ,he just had to put it in a virtual empty net. Hope we all learned by that

I thought he was going to put it away tbf, that penalty for Man United in the 94th minute against PSG (I think) was very similar in terms of pressure and he smashed it into the top corner. Very disappointing.

I have always thought Rashford is an excellent player, can't understand why he was used so little in the Competition, wonder what Southgate saw we didn't,

Too attack minded mate, same as Grealish. Southgate will have none of that.

I think we scored too early. Southgate’s tactics are to sit back and hold onto the lead after an early goal. Was never going to work against a team with Italy’s talent. We deserved everything we got in the end unfortunately.

Aye mate but then it comes down to fitness and not the luck of penalties. No idea what is a fair way I just think penalties are a **** way to lose.
Keepy uppies might work, 5 players with a combined total. :emoticon-0102-bigsm:emoticon-0100-smile
