Euro 2004 Update (actually an update)

Everybody moans about all of these options for various reasons. Sudden death sounds good but watching the 120th minute of a draw can be dire, esp when you know you're just going to be getting PKs at the end of it. The Euros are being played on silver goal rules this year but no doubt UEFA will change it yet again.

I mean straight sudden death, perhaps with a break every 45 minutes, but with no PKs thereafter. If you know you have to score to win, no pulling into a shell to get to PKs.
