Packer487 3 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 Sucks that a game like that comes down to penalty kicks. I'm pretty sure I'd snap if the NHL ever decided to implement the shootout during the playoffs. I realize the guys were cramping and that they don't allow for much subbing in soccer, but there has to be a better way to do it than having the championship come down to a glorified guessing game. Exciting as all hell, but does it really mean that ManU was better than Chelsea just because their goalie guessed correctly more often? Two suggestions: 1) Take a few players off the field for overtime. Play 8 on 8 or something. It would open things up, let the best players do their thing, decrease the chances that a lesser team could play to get to PKs, create some amazing transition opportunities, etc. I bet you'd see a winner more often than not, and the format would be more in line with the game itself than resorting to PKs. 2) If you absolutely HAVE to go to PKs (my first preference would be continuous overtime...eventually someone would screw up), back the players up 10 feet (or even more). It would give the goalie a split-second longer to react and I feel that it would increase the amount of skill necessary to succeed in a PK. The best goalies would actually have an impact and the best shooters would increase in value because you'd have to be much more precise. In the shootout today, out of 14 shots there were a total of two saves. On most of those shots the goalie dove to the wrong side of the net. I feel like if you put an average collegiate soccer player against the best goalie in the world, he'd still score more often than not. That shouldn't happen when the championship is on the line. At least the Hooligans from Eurotrip are happy. If you're not a Manc, you're a ****! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hockeytown Red Wings 245 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 Boo! I hate both teams though, so it didn't really matter. I loved seeing Ronaldo get stuffed on his PK...that was great. It was an awesome game though, and I went to Eddie George's Grill which basically turned into an English Soccer Pub. It was a lot of fun....so was being drunk at 5 in the afternoon on a Wednesday.
