Having everything come down to a minigame is retarded, I think we can all agree on that. Messi's legacy was determined by this minigame. So many pivotal matches have come down to it, which is absurd.The solution: extra time is replaced by a new system. There is a set amount of time (say 30 minutes), and one team has to send off extra players as if they had red cards. However if that team holds the other to a draw for the period (or wins outright), they win the match. Finding the perfect amount of time and players to send off to balance it can be done by simulation, analytics, and trail matches. There will be a perfect balance though. If you send 2 players off a team and ask them to hold for an hour, that's obviously unfair. However if you ask them to hold for a minute then its unfair in the other direction. There is necessarily a perfect amount of time on average for given amount of players taken off (max of 4 players taken off). So this system will always end in a timely manner and decide the matches with actual play, instead of some arbitrary minigame
What was wrong with MLS 1.0 penalty kicks?
>>154102018They got figured out rather quickly and stopped being a novelty at some point. Apparently. So eventually, interest shrunk. It still was a decent idea, certainly better than OPs - his proposal would just lead to massive busparking slurpball, and teams would complain about unequal treatmentPenalties are not there to be logical, they are meant to be exhilarating. And they are. But yeah, it is not perfect to decide huge games like that
>>154094433>I think we can all agree on that.it's the greatest spectacle in sports. Absolutely horrendous to watch due to the nerves and everything at stake. The biggest test of character.
>>154094433>I think we can all agree on thatNah fuck off.>>154102018Because it was retarded. In a penalty shootout even the defenders can be good at converting their kick. When it comes to dribbling the ball, only attacking players do any sort of training for that - its overcomplicating the situation.
>>154102115So don't have defenders take them.The MLS shootout was just a knockoff of the ice hockey shootout so you might aswell copy the format completely. Have 5 different initial picks that can be literally anyone from the entire squad, not just from the 11 players on the field when extra time ended, and if it's still a draw after 5 rounds you can just use one player for the entire sudden death if you so choose.
Only anons whose national team failed to qualify for the world cup may post ITT!So... our countries got knocked out. Who are we rooting for? For me it's Senegal. They were kino in the Africa Cup
I will bandwagon the ik ooksNo, I will not elaborate.
>>154095670HenlooI will be rooting for Norway and Japan. Lets see something different from the exact 7 countries winning all the time
>>154095670when we get knocked in the group stage, i will support scotland or croatia probably >>154096017this

We NEED a plan to stop Japan and France this World CupThis has gone too far
Please just leave us alone.Stop calling us a dark horse or a title contender or any of that ridiculously overhyped crap that clearly doesn’t match reality.Every single time people start going “Japan looks strong this time!” or “they’re gonna make history!”, the actual World Cup ends in disaster for us.2006 and 2014 were the textbook examples.On the other hand, when people dismiss Japan as some small team with no star players and even the public back home isn’t expecting much, that’s usually when we end up overperforming.South Africa 2010 was exactly that kind of example.Just look at France, England, Germany, Brazil, Spain, Argentina, the Netherlands, Portugal, their squads are overflowing with players from PL big clubs and Champions League-level giants in other leagues, all the way down to the bench.That’s the bare minimum level of firepower you need if you actually want to win a World Cup.Meanwhile, our squad has like three guys from small Premier League clubs, several from small Bundesliga clubs, one from a small La Liga club, two in Ligue 1, several in Belgium, two at Feyenoord, two at Ajax, and one at Sporting.That’s not a terrible squad if you’re judging Japan as a mid team, but talking about going top 4 or winning the whole thing with this group is pure delusion.If we make the round 16 or quarterfinals, that should be considered a massive success.
>>154082889>Friendlies
>>154091014Y'all the same shape and build. Heck I think Koreans might even be a bit bigger.
>>154099372OKJAPAN is some small team with no star players ajd nobody should expect much
Japan team will be known as The Ugly Bastards when it wins the games against the top teams in the world cup.
