Have it come down to a goal winner no matter how much time. Especially in the Final.

I get it but not really. Odd sport.
These guys are young but, you sprint for 90+ minutes (sometimes without a goal being made) then continue for an addition 30 minutes (2 x 15 minutes) and it is still a tie, then continue for possibly infinity. These have been the shoot out rules since 1970 and after 12 years of consideration, FIFA instituted it to the world cup.
Personal Prejudices showing... Soccer is NOT football and it's nice to know that the game won't last 4 hours or more.
