Do penalty shootouts truly decide the better team?
Do penalty shootouts really decide which team is better, or just who handles pressure better on the day? I watched my local club lose a final last month after dominating 120 minutes, and it felt like the trophy went to the team that practiced spot-kicks more. Some argue shootouts add drama and fairness because both teams get equal chances, but others say they undermine the entire match's narrative. What do you think—should we keep them, try something like the 'sudden death' extra time used in hockey, or accept them as part of football's charm?
