In high-profile knock-out tournament matches, teams tend to play defensively if the game remains drawn towards the end. As extra time and penalties loom, teams sometimes play /for/ penalties, knowing that whilst they may not be able to score from free play, they /might/ win the penalty shoot-out. This tends to make the game less entertaining for spectators, and can result in a result which some may deem didn't fairly reflect the balance of play. FIFA have stated they would like to see penalty shoot-outs ended, but previous solutions (the ‘golden’ and ‘silver’ goals) have proven unpopular, and have since been largely dropped.
