Penalty shoot -outs are an unfair way of deciding football matches.

Favor

• A study says Team kicking first kick win match 60% of times.
• The team going second is usually more stressed.
• Penalty shoot are always more luck then skills.
• Psychological pressure of losing the coin toss and going second is unfair.
• In an intense game where small percentage can swing a match, leaving so much to chance is unjustifiable.

Against

• Athletes have been trained for these kinds of stressed situations.
• Athletes have been paid in millions to perform at the highest level with their utmost abilities.
• Sport is mix of luck and talent so taking those elements from the football will make this game boring.

Conclusion

• In Penalty shootouts first team definitely has psychological advantage over second team so this system can be replaced by more balanced tie break system as in tennis.
