    Ever watch the street soccer 1v1 deals where they’re just trying to dribble past a defender?

    That’s a mini game I’d love to watch as a tie breaker!

      MLS in America actually tried that many years ago (weird the phrase is even relevant to MLS, but here we are). On replays it actually looks quite reasonable, but being an Americanism, I don’t think you’ll get any support for it, which is a shame because penalty kicks are barely soccer at all.

        That’s basically the system hockey 🏑 uses, and it’s pretty good. Personally, while I far prefer it to the current soccer shootouts, it still has the feeling of being a “minigame” to me; a little too divorced from the main game to be ideal.
