In a lot of important games, the games end in a tie and go straight to penalties. There has been a lot debating if there could be a more sufficient way to get a winner in the important games because there is basically a 50 percent chance of wining. There is not really a way to prepare for penalties, it all comes down to the mental strength of the players.

The most common suggestion is to let the players play overtime until a team scores the first goal. The only problem is that it could take a long time for the game to finish.

Personally, I really enjoy the excitement in a shootout. When it all comes down to the last penalty, you’re sitting nervous and either the disappointment or the rush of happiness if your team save or score the penalty. I think shootouts should be part of soccer if there isn’t any other suggestion that would replace it.
