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 watch all of five minutes of soccer a year, but here are some suggestions:
How about pulling goalies or not allowing them to use their hands in OT? How about removing one palyer from each team every ten minutes to create more space and more opportunities? How about not calling offsides in OT? Have any of these been tried?
Also, I always thought a Golden Goal was a goal scored in "extra time" added to the end of the game.
