There could be penalty shootouts in the group games this time.
If two teams are dead level in the last group game and draw, they have to go to penalties to decide their position.
This could be fun.
"This could be fun."
Americans do not like penalty shootouts.
If you remember USA hosted the 1994 World Cup and the final between Brazil and Italy went to penalty shots.
Americans have nothing to do with the Euro’s i don’t care what they like.
Although that 94’ World Cup started with a Diana Ross penalty miss, and ended with a Roberto Baggio penalty miss.
What I'm trying to say, is that there is vast chasm that neither side understands in this sport.
Penalty shootouts: "This could be fun."
Penalty shootouts: "This is bull shit."
That’s absolutely true:
Neutral fans: penalty shootouts are amazing either result.
Fan of either team before a shootout: penalties are the worst nerve wracking thing of all time.
Fan of a winning team after a shootout: penalties are the best thing of all time.
Fan of a losing team after a shootout: screw penalties.
Yes, more or less it is so.
