I think Senegal has the athleticism to keep up with England and cause problems. Hope to see that match up.

New idea. Instead of penalty kicks deciding matches, just have alternating corner kicks.

I know that wasn't a corner, but I'm intrigued by the idea of letting set pieces decide the winner.

I vote old school MLS (and high school) 35 yard dribble up

Why are y'all trying to reinvent the wheel in a group thread with two active games going on? Corner kicks instead of pks? What am I even reading right now??

Both Senegal and Ecuador have looked really good in this tournament. Really tough group. Too bad one of them will have to go home.

I officiated a youth tournament years ago when that was en vogue, and they used that instead of PKs. Wouldn't you know it, I had a goalkeeper chase down the ball outside the box and pick it up.

WTF? Nobody knew what the heck to do. I remember I carded him (can't remember which), but it was an absurd situation all around.

Call me crazy but I'd like our chances against any of these teams. Netherlands just hasn't been that great and the other teams aren't complete either.

Let's get that win against Eye-Ran

Is Netherlands vs Qatar an active game?

Then how would you solve fouls on said corners? PK?

Clearly, I'd need to work some of the kinks out of the idea, but I'd think so (at least defensively). Perhaps even go a step beyond and send off players for dogso, and eliminate them from participating in future rounds.
When does the "corner kick" end?

Senegal pick up the win in match 3 to finish second in the group. They'll take on the winners of Group A on December 4th.

Tied games should obviously be settled via a juggling competition.

Pull one player from both sides every 5 minutes until it is decided.

Just kicking around ideas, but the old MLS shootout gave the offensive player five seconds to shoot. Maybe go 10 seconds or if it goes into touch?

Each team gets 6 jugglers and 5 shooters.

The jugglers juggle and the shooters shoot at the opposing team.

The team with the last player juggling is the winner.

Mostly joking, but keeper wars would an incredible tie-breaker.

Could make for a good use of the emergency third goalkeeper selection

Let's go Dutch. 0 points to Qatar is alive and well.
Qatar can finish no better than 31st at their World Cup. As long as our hat loses by one goal to Morocco, or gets a better result, they will finish in a richly deserved last.

I'm sure the 400-500 people who died building these stadiums are proud.
