tmesisSutekh I've said for 30 years plus that penalties is a stupid way to decide any game, largely falling down to complete luck and next to no skill.
Then you've been wrong for 30 years then.
There is luck involved, but a good penalty is one that'll go in even if the keeper goes the right way. That is entirely about skill.
Mind you, I do agree no play-off final should go to penalties. If it's level after 120 minutes, the highest placed team should win.
Now that actually is a good idea - would force one side to at least throw everything they have into getting a goal and would have made for a better game as a result. At least we'd have lost then to a clearly better team rather than one that might have looked more of a threat but couldn't actually score in a brothel.
