Sepp Blatter has asked the Germans to look into alternatives to the penalty shootout to decide drawn matches in football.
What do you think they might come up with?

They should make them play on but remove a rule every 10 minutes. First handballs are allowed, then there's no offside rule, then there's no such thing as a dangerous tackle.

in fact, fuck it, this is just how football should be played. 90 minutes but every 10 they stick a pin in the rule book and whatever rule it hits no longer applies.
( scarpe We Stole Bikes, Fri 25 May 2012, 11:12, Reply)

No, this is how football should be played:
One second into the game, the grounds should be sealed and Zyklon B pumped into them, killing all the players and fans.

Rinse and repeat.

Corner count.
It might encourage more attacking play and result in fewer draws.

I think asking them to count how many corners there are on the pitch might be seen as 'disabled abuse'.
