So why did they get rid of running penalty kicks in the MLS for tie-breakers?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRITqS6WEn0
I wanna know as well, this is the least bad way to end a tie breaking match, why didn't FIFA/UEFA ape it is also weird.
>>157189087too much skill required
>>157189087Because idiots hate new ideas and want everything to remain strictly orthodox, rigid and unchanging.Penalty shootouts are a terrible way to break a tie, and aren't really football. At least the old MLS tiebreaker was a measure of football ability.
>>157189087Because penalties are supposed to be the harshest punishments for a foul next to the red card. It's SUPPOSED to almost guarantee a goal, and running penalties are too easy to defend.
>>157189087I vaguely remember seeing a video about it. I recall they were failing to get viewership so they changed their leadership, and those people changed it to the european model for some stupid ass reason. Basically it was pure desperation.

>>157190209it's for tie breakers, not fouls
>>157189087people at the time thought it was retarded like a glowing trail behind a hockey puck so they changed the rule
Because Europeans didn't do it so it's bad.
>>157190488It should be for everything, with the intensity of the foul deciding how many defenders are allowed to contest
>>157190703but that autistic swede was like NO YOU HAVE TO PUNISH PEOPLE BECAUSE AN INCH OF THEIR FOREARM TOUCHED THE BALL WHEN IT WAS AT THE VERY CORNER OF THE PENALTY AREA AND THE BALL WAS GOING WIDE
>>157190249Correct, they were failing to get viewers so they changed leadership. The new leadership also failed to get viewers but were allowed to stay because by that point nobody cared.
>>157189087Because there was an overall drive to have the ruleset mirror the international scene. Also, yuroboos hated them with a passion.
>>157190249>I recall they were failing to get viewership so they changed their leadership, and those people changed it to the european model for some stupid ass reason.They changed the ruleset to mirror the international ruleset so as not to put domestic players at any sort of disadvantage and to placate yuroboos. There really wasnt anyone clamoring for them not to so they went ahead and did it.
this is something that sounds like a cool idea but in reality it looked very silly
>>157189087Keep running penalties for shootouts. Keep traditional spot kicks for fouls in the box. There, I fixed your "sport"
How about putting the attacking player in goal and the goalie on the penalty spot. The goalie has to throw the ball and the attacking player can stop it with legal parts of his body. If the goalie misses, or the shot is saved, the attacking team gets a goal. If the goalie scores then the game resumes and no goal is awarded.
>>157189087They changed it because a) they didn’t bring more viewers, so keeping them was kinda useless, and b) because FIFA was scared that changes like this would lead to some kind of schism within the game. And I can actually see their point hereThese penalties are fun, but I think they are relatively easy to figure out. In the long run, the novelty would have worn off. Still, personally, I would be open to using them for shootouts (but not fouls in the box). At least at first. Maybe every team gets like five run-up penalties, and if they are tied after that, we go to the classic box onesUsing them just to break any league tie is obviously dumb
