So should international basketball games go to a free throw competition?

They should if they could only substitute 3 players over the full length of the game. And once they sub they can't go back in. That might make sense.

If you had to choose, would you prefer the game end 3-2 with a goal in final seconds of extra time? Or in shootout?

I think the former is more true to the sport

Shootouts focus on a very limited aspect of the sport, in hockey or soccer

I'm happy eitherway. Its not like teams don't practice for the possibility of it. Putting the ball into the net is one of the most basic skills that you practice since you first start playing soccer.

No need...Ametican sports have 3 hours of commercial timeouts. The only thing that gives futbol players a breather is the occasional flop.
If Croatia wins the Cup, this run is one for the ages.

I don't see it. All 3 other teams look stronger. But with how this cup is playing out, nothing would surprise me. lol

Only change I wouldn't mind is going to a hockey style shootout. Give the offensive player the ball at the 35 yard line, whistle blows and it's keeper vs player with the keeper allowed to come out. Essentially a breakaway.

Risk is the keeper having five times he's diving into the player. Not sure it would be better than current but I'd like to see it tried at a lower professional level.

After this game, the bruises still won't be healed by Wednesday. Both teams just beat the crap out of each other.
The Croatian president better bounce before Putin has her locked up. She was getting hype up in that booth.

Her smile in that second pic says, "we about to whip that ass."

Because if you did you would know how tired you are after playing a game and a half. There's nothing left in the legs. You can't just keep going on forever. That's what playing the game has to do with knowing what you're talking about.

Lol, why do you think I don't know that?

Did you miss the part where I said it was a necessary evil?
Just so people aren't confused I'm saying:
1) the PK is a necessary evil to end games so players don't die and can't move on in tourney
2) but the PK isn't the highlight, the actual soccer game is. The PK is just a better version of flipping a coin

I always feel if a team lets it go to pks they deserve to flip the coin for the win/loss regardless of missed chances or who was the better team in the 120mins.

You Get 2 hours to put a team away, if u don't do it, pks.

Not sure how you came up with that.
