So say the Americans. Everytime I turn on the news it is either about Zidane or about how "crap" the PK system is. The producers have given these dopes 5 extra minutes to fill with soccer, so they pull this out of their asses. The worst part is they don't get anyone that knows soccer to argue with them, they get other dopes to agree with them.
Their solution is to just play the match out until someone gets a winner......are you kidding me?
in a typical contest, soccer players run for a total of 10-11 kilometers(6 miles) sprint for about 800-1200 metres, accelerate 40-60 different times, and change direction every five seconds or so.
Soccer is like no other sport in the world, can Basketball, Baseball, Hockey, Cricket or Tennis players say they do that in every game? And 6 miles is based mostly on college levels, not even taking into account the international level.
Each team only gets 3 subs for 11 players, how can you expect human beings to go through that without any type of long term rest?
PKs are no doubt the best option, during this world cup most of the matches were pretty hard to watch once they went into overtime, no one seemed to want to run. Imagine how bad it would be if they had to play until someone scored with no time-limit set in place?
stupid-ass americans.
