    Perhaps not, but it does allow people to make poor, ABBA-related puns.

    The fact is that penalties are a rubbish and deeply unsatisfactory way of deciding any football match. No amount of tinkering with the format is going to change that.

    We had four. They only had three.

    That seems fair to me.

    Its only been used once and neither side got 5 penalties.

    I think you should still have to take them, even if you have already lost.

    However you do it is shït, since it bears no relationship to the course or balance of the game, but still decides its outcome. It's just a more pressured equivalent of tossing a coin.

    It isn't related to tossing a coin at all because you have absolutely no way of affecting the outcome of the coin. The better you are at taking & saving penalties, and the better you are at maintaining your technique under pressure, the more likelihood that you will succeed, and will have deserved it.
