Dooood! What the? Okay, check this out. So you're telling me soccer has a problem with extra time? Imagine. Bro, just like basketball, we got overtime. But instead of shootin' free throws till one team wins, why not just play the whole game again? Or play another round like in playoffs? Yeah, and then they can call it 'Sudden Death Soccer'. Totally fair. Unless you suck. Duuude... What the. (sigh)
FIFA wants to eliminate the need for penalty shootouts, which can be seen as random and unfair.
DOOOD suggests playing the entire game again or adding sudden death rounds until a winner is determined.
FIFA has not officially proposed any of these extreme solutions; they are just ideas presented for comedic effect in DOOOD.
'Sudden death' typically means the first team to score wins, but DOOOD humorously extends this concept beyond typical sports rules.
Fan opinions vary; some dislike penalty shootouts while others enjoy the drama and tension of extra time.
