Hi Hive Lovers
Football is a team game, and it is played with the teamwork of the players on the field under the direction of the coach to achieve victory by scoring goals against the opposing team.
As a team game, the determination of a team's victory should be based on the goals scored from the teamwork played within the time limit of a game.
A victory in a game of football may not be determined by a goal scored by someone outside the time of a match, which is not a teamwork game.
I mean, in the final determination of the winner of a competition (whether in the knockout stage or the final), if they draw until the end of the game, then the match is not decided by penalty kicks.
Unlike the penalty in a football match, a penalty kick given by the referee is a penalty for a violation committed in the penalty area alone.
Determining the winner with a penalty kick at the end of the match is not a penalty for a violation of play.
Penalty kicks in the knockout phase or the final round of competition determination do not reflect a team's superiority based on team cooperation. but only the skills of penalty takers and goalkeepers.
So, if at the end of the allotted time a game has not produced a goal to determine the winner, then additional time will be added until a winner is produced. If there is also no winner until the extra time ends, then there will be no shootout with penalty kicks. However, it is continued in the Golden Goal match system to end the match as soon as a goal occurs.
I am not one of the supporters of the team that played in the Qatar World Cup final, but Argentina's penalty win over France, or any football match from any team that won on penalties, has seriously hurt the spirit of team play or a game system based on teamwork.
Look, Argentina and France have both played well in this Qatar World Cup final and were able to maintain the score of 3-3 until the end of extra time in their "teamwork" football game.
It would be unfair if the two teams worked together to try to score goals but draw until the end of the game. One of them had to be decided on penalties, which were not based on team play.
Victory in the game of football does not come from penalty shootouts but from goals produced by football players who work together.
Penalty kicks should really be limited to punishment for violations committed. Why should two teams that are drawing have to be penalized to determine the winner of a cooperative game?
Do you think Argentina, as the winner of the penalty shootout in the Qatar World Cup, deserved their trophy?
