I have come up with an entertaining alternative to the penalty kick shootout . . .

H-O-R-S-E (in international play, C-H-E-V-A-L)

If the match remains tied at the end of two overtime periods, a coin flip determines which team will begin the H-O-R-S-E shootout. A player from the first team may shoot from anywhere on the field and may specify whether or not the opposing goalkeeper may defend the goal. There is no penalty if the first team misses; a player from the other team then gets to shoot from anywhere on the field. If either player makes his shot, a player from the other team must make the same shot from the same position; if the next player misses, his team gets a "letter" from the word "horse" (or "cheval" in international play). The first team is again free to shoot from another spot on the field, however a team may not shoot from a spot where a shot was already made in the same game. The loser is the first team to accumulate enough letters to spell out the word "horse." When that occurs, the other side wins.

Now wouldn't that be a lot more fun?
