2 possible replacements for straight up PKs deciding knock out soccer games

1. I first read this from someone on this board. When you get to overtime, each team takes a player off the field every 5 minutes. Eventually, there so much space, someone will score (and yes, it's golden goal). 2. Seen on an Instagram post and I kinda liked it. After 90, you do penalty kicks right away, BUT....whoever wins the PK shootout doesn't WIN. Instead, they get 1/2 of a goal. THEN you play the full 30 minutes of OT. That forces the team that's down by .5 to try and make something happen, and you don't get what can be the most boring 30 minutes you've ever seen as each team is too afraid to attack and willing to take a chance on PKs. I posted this as a reply on a different thread, but wanted to put it out there as its' own subject.

WRT #1, since both teams are 11 vs. 11 (assuming no red cards), then isn't

The only "fair" way is too just keep playing

Ice hockey, even at the Olympics, has opted for the shootout to break a tie

Did something happen that made you think something broke and it needs to be

I think that PKs are a lousy way to settle a soccer game. Like others

How is it you feel you can change this?**

I say settle it with the longest throw in ...

#1 is similar to what they do in field hockey. **

I'd say skip PKs and go to OT with no offsides rule

The off-sides thing drives me nuts
