9. Penalty kicks, capricious? Football needs more drama.
Edited on Mon Jun-12-06 02:08 PM by Bushknew
Football needs more drama. Football doesn’t have the drama of the last minute shot like in Basketball or the * PRESSURE * of an allotted time limit to do * SOMETHING * or give possession of the ball to the other team.

Penalty kicks would add drama to the game and even if 85% of penalty kicks are converted.

I think it was 8 years ago when a very famous Italian player missed a crucial
plenty kick and the team did not advance because of it. That’s DRAMA.

Sometimes a Basketball game is deiced by a free-throw and there is a tremendous
amount of tension and drama in that moment.

Unfortunately, Football doesn’t have that, but deciding tied games with penalty kicks
could remedy that.
