Father jailed for beating 3 kids after they wouldn't say who farted in his car

wyoak posted:

why's that though
i mean that match kinda sucked so more of it wouldn't have been a great thing but penalties are still pretty lame

your alternative is perpetual golden goal lol, take it to the newbie thread or pm's or something. If you are serious and cant figure out why its a dumb idea then you shouldnt be offering advice on how to fix the game.

Let's make it like baseball so that the teams play until they can't play anymore and someone scores. No extra subs, just hours upon hours of people eventually passing out from exhaustion.

this is not why it kills matches, it kills matches because teams would rather try to not lose than try to win when they know one mistake will immediately end the game with no chance to equalize

also it's completely unfeasible to have teams play forever in a knockout competition with like three days between matches unless you want to see germany just score 88 goals past a bunch of corpses in the final because they only had to play 90 minutes of football while it took 420 minutes before messi finally just shot from halfway and it bounced in off cillesen's rear end

This sounds pretty good though?

I would like to see perpetual golden goal and then give players increasingly strong electric shocks if they stop moving for too long.

well that's the assumption, i'm saying maybe that assumption is wrong. if the only way to win is to score the dynamic of the game changes and maybe most extra time games end quicker than they do now. injury/fatigue is a obviously a concern though.

Also, like Cruyff used to say: Every benefit has its downside. Cellissen was destroyed before even taking penalties. He was close too. twice... he will never stop a penalty in his life again. Kind of a dick move by Van Gaal in retrospect to put this penalty series there.

As seen by everyone Cellissen is loving terrible at penalties and should have been replaced by an outfield player (Vlaar).

Golden goal has been tried, and they stopped doing them because of what vyelkin said. Golden goal sucks.
