In the final of the women's soccer Asian Cup China has defeated Australia (the Matildas) in yet another penalty shoot out. While the game seems to have been played in a good spirit, unlike the semi-final between China and North Korea , IMO once again the way the result was achieved shows the limitations of the inherently low-scoring sport which is soccer/football. Surely someone can come up with a better idea? What about suspending the off-side rule if extra time is played?
