Arm Wrestling, send the captains into the thunderdome, survivor's team wins. Cook off, Iron Chef style. Military style obstacle course, or the one from the movie fat camp. Hot dog eating contest. Blather saying PK's ruin the essence of the game, doesn't realize if you take PK's out of the game you're also taking something out of the game. Anyways my vote goes to Iron Chef. Imagine Vidic vs Gerrard with the main ingredient being prawns.
Managers fight to the death? Would bring a tactical element to the game. Big Sam would be managing at Madrid!
- Independent keeper and two-man-wembley. First to five wins - No keepers for thirty minutes of extra time. - Managers, coaching staff and owners have to take the penalties, moscots in net - whichever teams fans comes up with the wittiest chant about the opposition (judged by the referees) - Whichever side has the most tattoos or bald players (we're sorted here!)
One alternative to penalty shootout heartbreak would be... to not be **** at them. Watching Sheff U & Hudd in the playoffs and the first 5 were some of the worst penalties I've ever seen in a shoot out. Perhaps teams should take penalties more seriously and actually practice them. Could also be a benefit for teams in terms of finishing.
