Seems it was always fine when the Germans beat the English. Makes you wonder if this would have been open for discussion if Bayern had beat Chelsea..............................
They tried various ways to reduce the chances of getting to a penalty shootout with golden goals etc but they all proved disastrous with both teams usually sitting back and defending , preferring to take their chances on a shootout rather than risk conceding a golden goal.
Perhaps, as a German team lost on penalties to an English one, it is time to change the system. Maybe the team that speaks the best German overall should go through instead!

I thought exactly the same thing.The man couldnt run a bath.

To be fair, against an all English team, the Germans would probably still win even if it was "Who speaks the best English".
karaoke style sing off on the pitch, manager starts whilst players dance/clap and then the players sing with the tallest going first. round 2 will be a general knowledge quiz. if it is still a tie, then starting with the manager each team has to hold a microphone to its arse and come up with the best blow offs, loudness, quality and pitch all important. players will be disqualified if they follow through.

Words cannot describe the level of utter contempt I feel for this man. He has absolutely zero credibility. How he kept his job after the racism scandal is beyond me, but it probably points to the fact that his cronies are as corrupt as he is. The sooner he resigns, the better. Although I doubt whether his successor will be any better.
I have long thought it is worth trying having the penalties BEFORE extra-time - then the game is decided in open play - if it's level on goals by the end then the shoot-out winners have won the game.
Penalty shoot outs have been an absolutely fine way of deciding a winner. If this gets changed then god knows what will be next. Playing only 80 mins instead of 90.

Would you not have the problem of the winners of the penalties just sitting back for 30 mins?

If that happened, the other team would change their tactics accordingly.
Could end up as 16 players in the penalty box every time a cross comes in, but that could be exciting as well...
Last man standing .. a brawl between the 22 players on the pitch. The team with most men still conscious after 15 minutes wins. This will make (Dick) Barton J one of the world's most valuable players.

So how about a crossbar challenge?
Winner takes all.
