It is used in the penalty shootout when after the first five takers the scores are level. More PC term nowadays is "sudden victory".

Borgetti you flopping bastard...

redmarkYankees · 06-24-2006, 05:44 PM

Great run by Zinha, should have shot.

It also put too much pressure on referees.
Remember the incident at the end of the Euro 2000 semi-final between France and Portugal where Dick Jol awarded a penalty to France and all the Portuguese players crowded him and pushed him?

so in the shootout, if it is tied through the first 5, next goal wins? So, if both teams go 4/5 in the PKs, and the first taker after that scores, is the game over?

redmarkYankees · 06-24-2006, 05:46 PM

I think Mexico deserve this.

theasfl · 06-24-2006, 05:46 PM

Marquez you bastard

Nope, one side has to score and the other miss for it to be over in sudden death.

no, its like extra innings in baseball...the other side still has a chance...its sudden death when someone misses unless the next guy misses as well...also like a spelling bee to a degree.
