I writing about the dreaded penalty kicks, and I think that they are not the problem. The problem is in normal time, teams that reach the later stages cancel themselves out because they play so defensively. We need more goals, around 1 goal per game (from the knockout round of Euro `96) we should be thinking of upping this to around 4-5 goals per game. This would make for a far more exciting normal time and reduce the need for penalty kicks. I don`t know what the solution is, maybe we should widen the goals or maybe we should make teams play with 10 men, something needs to be done to stop the boring stalemates BTW, I`m serious about widening the goals, people may think this is a stupid yank idea but this would work.
