Probably a PK because of the "stand on the goal line" rule

This used to be a thing back in the old NASL.

Only 1 of 10 opportunities on this highlight resulted in a goal. With PKs it

I think it was the same in the early days of MLS...

I kind of like this approach.. similar to indoor soccer

Biggest downside would have to be increased likelihood of injuries

Count it as a goal and play on

Who knew? Mr. Kotter was a pretty good goalie.

Breakaway, not even a question. If you can't score 1-on-1 when you are free to

you're wrong, actually. it can be very difficult to score on a break away,

The key is the keeper coming off of his line, making the goal smaller

buhler08

6/30/15 12:03pm

I think you're wrong in that case too. the keeper not being able to come off

If there's a time limit, like the video above, that would make sense.

Not when the goalie can run toward you, making the angles much more difficult to

And when a slight tap of the ball right or left sends the goalie into chase mode

You still have a much smaller angle to shoot the ball without missing the goal.

rggee

6/30/15 12:07pm

The goalie is now beside you. It's wide open. What angle?

Left Shark Coug

6/30/15 12:09pm

The goalie will stay in front of you if he's any good.

rggee

6/30/15 12:18pm

A "slight" tap wouldn't put any goalie into chase mode

Who ever said anything about no time limit besides yourself

Dude, chill the yewt out. It's clear that nobody in this thread understood

Can I get a ruling from Jefe on how many seconds it actually was?

Coach's Dad

Would a breakaway shootout be better/more exciting than a PK shootout?
