Penalty shootouts like them or loathe them?

I wanted to take this out of the world cup perdiction game. So what do you think of penalty shoot out? Personally I love them.. there is so much tension and it think it is a good way to decide a game

just as an aside.. this the the formula for a perfect penalty It's: (((X + Y + S) / 2) x ((T + I + 2B) / 4)) + (V/2) -1.

In the formula V = velocity of ball once struck and T = time between placing ball on spot and striking the ball.

S = number of steps in run-up to strike, while I = time that the ball is struck after goalkeeper initiates his dive.

Y = vertical placement of ball from ground, X = horizontal placement of ball from centre and B = striking position of boot.

Penalty shootouts are so unfair, but yet I love them. I wouldn't say they are totally fair, but they are much better than the Golden Goal rule.
