While you and your cronies from the rules committee get together after the WC to discuss implementing instant replay and using some of this 21 century technology like every other sport has been able to do, how about you do something about CHANGING THE OT RULES!

It is a joke that any championship gets decided by the randomness of PK's. It can't be good for the sport to have 2 of the last 4 championships decided in this manner. The process of getting to this moment for both teams is long and arduous journey and is unfair to both teams to be decided like this.

My solution;

instead of 2 - 15 min periods, we make it 3 periods of 15 with a couple modifications;

1) After the 1st OT period, both teams loose one player making it a 10 v 10 game, except for red carded teams who will maintain being a man down.

2) After the 2nd OT period, both teams loose another player, but get one addtional sub to use, making it a 9v9 game. 

3) At the end of 3 OT periods with both sides having 9 players each, the game goes to PK's.

If at the end of any period a team is winning, the game is over. So it's still not sudden death, but it's more of a "sooner death"

With these rules modifications, you can say you've tried to have the game settled on the field, which would be a victory a sport that should never want to see it's championship decided on PK's.

you don't want a game to end in pk's but you still have them going to pk's after your 3 ot suggestion?

This is the stupidest suggestion I have heard in a long time.  If 120 minutes of soccer isn't "trying" to settle it on the field, then I don't see how yours is any better.  9v9 is not soccer so how would that show who is the better team any better than PKs does?
