But if a penalty shoot-out ends 5-5, we go to sudden death. We don't say - oh, you had more corners during the game, so you've won. And that's how the CWC was decided.

Had a bowl off at one stump indoors or something similar. That would have been an exciting experience for the crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the answer to both is yes, then it's fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But some might argue that say, shots on target over 120 minutes is more indicative of who should win than a single penalty kick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
