You're overestimating the problem. Do games go to PKs? Yes, but not always.
Would more scoring help matters, both with decreasing ties and increasing excitement? Perhaps. But I doubt fans were glued to their sets when Mexico beat Dominca(?) 10-0 and 8-0 in qualifying play.
The NFL overtime system sucks too. The first possession, at least statistically, has become increasingly important. If Viniatierri missed that field goal (or in 2002), we probably would have reform.
And college sucks even more, but in its own way. The 74-72 scores have to go. What happened to ties, other than in playoffs?
And WTF with hockey, which has a separate rule for the regular season OT games, with one less player for each team? Now
that's bastardized.
And aussie rules football is the balls.
