[QUOTE="bdutts, post: 1401508, member: 29"] The biggest issue I have with these tourney games is ending on PKs. Should make it sudden death (golden goal as they would say in the football world) and give them 3 more subs. To me, ending on PKs is like ending an NCAA tourney game on free throws or an NFL game on field goals. Teams end up playing not to lose (see Russia v Spain). I have watched plenty of football (I lived in Scotland for three years) so I learned to like it over the years. But the PK ending just leaves a bad taste in my mouth and I’d imagine a lot of other Americans feel the same way. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
