Throwing it out there: how would you solve the penalties dilemma? it's often said that it's unfair and too much random that penalty shoot outs can decide a final, be it a World Cup or even a Champions League one, and there are possible alternatives on how to avoid penalties.
What would you do?
As for me, as wacky as it might sound, I'd have after the extra time the game going on, but with one player less. Each time an action ends for whatever reason, each time takes off another player, making it 9 against 9, 8 against 8 and so on. The list of how players should go out should be decided beforehand. Eventually you're left with just the goalkeeper and most likely an attacker, and the first one who scores wins.
