Other Proposals to OT in Soccer
An alternatives to my previous overtime proposal would include:
1) Silver goal OT periods where each team would be reduced by two players. In other words, nine-on-nine for 15 minutes, then seven-on-seven. If the match is still tied after 120 minutes, another 30 minute silver goal overtime would be played with the roster being further reduced until someone wins or it's down to two-on-two. After 150 minutes, there would be a shootout where the two remaining offensive players for each team would shoot from the center of the field to the goal. The players would be timed. The teams with the most goals after a best-of-three wins.
2) The OT would remain as is where there would be a 30-minute period, but after 120 minutes, a shootout would take place from the center of the field to the goal to the goal. The shootout would be a best-of-five. Unlike 1), no one from the opposing team except the goalie would square off against the player on offense.
