Another option I’d like to see is corners instead of penalties to decide the match.
5 each to begin with. It ends when a goal is scored or the ball goes out of play or past the halfway line. Then after 5, sudden death.
It means it’s still a team game, unlike penalties and is still more true to the game than deciding on penalties. If a foul does occur in the box against the attacking team, then people that like to see penalties will still get to see them often.
