ABBA system of penalty kicks.

[Thunder Bolt]

I'm gonna be the thick one here and ask why's this more beneficial?

It's supposed to ease the pressure on the first penalty takers.

Or maybe just tired of the same tired old gags on here week in week out...

Don't remember that one. B-side, was it?

So long then.

Can't see what is wrong with the current format or is it change for changes sake.

That was David Bowie, not ABBA.

The current system gives a 60/40 advantage to the team that wins the toss and goes first. So, essentially, winning the toss is the game-changer moment. Not good.

So who decides which team takes the first one then and how will taking a penalty ever not be stressful.

Still the toss (I presume) but going first all the way through to have a 60/40 advantage won't be an option - neither team will continually be playing catch-up. You seem to have some sort of objection to the ABBA system - care to tell us what you think is wrong with it?

Oh dear.........I think you've just arrived at your Waterloo!

Wouldn't it have been more appropriate to have said 'I think you have just announced your 'arrival' at Waterloo?

Well, maybe.......but very controversial.....should have played 'Mornington Crescent' when the opportunity presented itself..............

 

[Hyperion]

At least this system will still mean that the winner takes it all.

Your work for the year is done

Quality.

And help them find the back of the Ag-net-ha.

Sorry, I don't believe a word of this!

Been broke a long time then, hadn't noticed.
Both teams take penalties till one scores more than the other, not complicated really.

Shirley that could have been resolved by using The Beach Boys system of penalty kicks

But then there'd be arguments about whether to play Tudor court Rules or not... still be controversial

But, as has been pointed out, the team that wins the toss of a coin, and kicks first, is statistically more likely to win.
