Official - Germans no longer like penalty shoot-outs

[Tel]

If all square after extra time they should have a game of British Bulldog.

Following Bayern's loss at the Champion's League finals on penalties, the (German-Swiss) head of FIFA, Sepp Blatter, has asked Bayern Munich honorary president Franz Beckenbauer "to come up with an alternative to the "tragedy" of penalty shoot-outs."

You couldn't have written the script, could you?

Try playing the game to win from the off you twats, as opposed to playing it safe and killing the game in the knowledge that you practice penalties more than any other set peice...


I demand the job as the German manager.

Now there is a sport that we should of bought to the olympics along with TugO War.

should bring back the golden goal - but each player should have a shot of vodka every 5 minutes too

Or try that one where you hold a broomhandle upright, rest your forehead on the top of the broomhandle, circle around five times very quickly then run off and try and kick the ball towards the goal.

[It Cost How Much!?!]

How about the best human pyramid with 11 players (5-3-2-1)?

[It Cost How Much!?!]

Or a game of subbuteo?

Play 'truth kiss dare' with Robbie Savage.

should bring back the golden goal

I thought the Silver Goal was better were they carried on to the end of the period, the golden goal was a bit too much sudden death and a bit of an anti-climax IMO.

Penalties only prove one aspect of the game - nerve!

"Next goal the winner"

Played it almost every night, as a youngster. Why not go back to it (golden goal) until the poor, tired, badly done to, prima donna's are fucked and they are not allowed off the pitch, until someone scores?

Some of the lazy bastards would probaly try an OG.
