not really sure how you can argue it is further away.   My way would involve the whole field and kicking the ball up and down it and would involve all players sands the goalies and involves running up and down said field.  All would be the same as regular play accept no goalies.  Penalty kicks involves just two players the kicker and the goalie, one kick and a very small part of the field.  Quite different than regular play. 

Something I like the sound of would be to continue play after extended time, sudden death style, but allow unlimited substitutions and re-entry.  Just to keep someone from dying from exhaustion.

 ok, but if a team was limited to 10 players due to a red card, they should still only be allowed 10 players. 

What about playing sudden death for say 15-20 minutes, then take a break for the same amount of time that halftime is, then play for another 15-20 and take another halftime break and so on until you have winner?  The breaks should keep the players from getting too tired.

 Jesus Christ.....90 mins, extra time, penalties....That's it!!!

Your way they'd be no one left. Either dead or near dead!! And even if there was, they would be all to knackered to play the next game!!!

Stop trying to change the rules to suit you!!! Don't like the rules, don't watch the game!!!

That's the difference between World Football and American Football. The American version they all bloody stop after 5 mins for time out, or whatever the fuck it is.

Okay I know nothing about the world cup or soccer but I think the fans need to lighten up.  I mean look at this.

http://blog.foxsoccer.com/post/90358899047/waffle-house-bojangles-take-sides-in-usa-belgium?cmpid=msn%3Afoxsports%3Aansfox11

I mean do we really need to go this far?  So they have a team in the world cup,do we really have to boycott everything with the name of their country in it.

Between stuff like this and the riots I have to see I do not get a good impression of Soccer and it's fans.

I am a huge Packers fan but you don't see me boycotting any cheese not made in Green Bay.

Good night the hype for these games has reached an insane level.

 You need to calm down . . . A LOT.   I know I can't change the rules, we are just talking here.   I don't see why my way would kill the players.   These guys are supposed to be world class athletes.  They should be able to last awhile.   Perhaps you missed my idea of halftime lenght break every 20 minutes of overtime sudden death play.  I think that would keep them from getting too tired.

lighten up, its called having fun.   If you want to see things taken too far with soccer,  you need see the hooligans they have in Europe.  That stuff goes way too far.

So they have a team in the world cup,do we really have to boycott everything with the name of their country in it.

It is not just that they have a team in the world cup, they happen to be playing us today.  

Between stuff like this and the riots I have to see I do not get a good impression of Soccer and it's fans.

I agree, riots do take things too far, but I don't I've heard of any US soccer fans rioting.  

I am a huge Packers fan but you don't see me boycotting any cheese not made in Green Bay.

what about cheese made in Chicago or Detroit or Minnisota?  ; )

Good night the hype for these games has reached an insane level.

somehow, I guess I've missed this insanity that you refer to.

 Well i don't care where cheese comes from,it's a football game why would I hate a place just because it produces a team that happens to be playing mine?  I mean the sport would be pretty boring if the Packers were the only ones playing it.

Okay I take your point I just think boycotting every product of a country(Even ones that just have the name of that country)because they dare to have a team that plays against our team isn't very sportsman like.  That is all. it just seems rude to me.

I said i take your point.  it's just as an outsider boycotting waffles seems silly to me.  Sorry if that upsets you but it just does.

USA still in it! Wow, with Football being not exactly the national sport, that's seriously impressive work from those players. I'm actually gonna sit down and watch this one, as it would be a beautiful underdog story if the US took the cup!

USA, USA!

Half the players from USA play for English teams

 Well yes but even with that handicap I still say the USA could win it.

Good game. Bloody good extra time. 

USA were unlucky not to score again. 

Shame. The players showed nothing but pride playing for their country. They pushed till the final whistle.

Well done USA. wish I could say the same about the money grabbing lazy English wankers!!
