Penalty shootouts in football could be transformed to make them fairer under new plans being looked at by Uefa.
The sport's European governing body is already trialling a new way for penalties to be taken in decisive shootouts.
Instead of teams alternating spot-kicks, Uefa is considering a new system similar to the tie-break in tennis.
The system is being tried out at the European Under-17 Championship, which began in Croatia on Wednesday.
What makes the perfect World Cup shootout penalty?
How does it work?
As it stands, teams take turns in a shootout, with the choice of who goes first decided by a coin toss.
For example, team A goes first, then team B, then team A again.
The new system is called 'ABBA' and sees team A followed by team B - before team B goes again. Team A would then get two successive penalties, and so on until there is a winner.
A coin will still be tossed to decide who goes first.
Why is a change needed?
The idea is to stop the team going second having to always, potentially, play catch-up. The sport's rule-making body, Ifab, approved the trial after looking at research it says proves the team taking the first penalty have an unfair advantage as they win 60% of shootouts.
"The hypothesis is that the player taking the second kick in the pair is under greater mental pressure," said Uefa.
The system is also being trialled at the women's European Under-17 Championship, which began in the Czech Republic on Tuesday.Modifying post.Comment

FA are set to trial 'sin bins' in the lower leagues of English football next season.
"Temporary dismissals" will be trialled from the seventh tier of Non-League Football, as the FA and International Football Association Board (IFAB) look to canvass opinions across the game.
They will apply only to yellow cards shown for dissent, taking players out of the action for 10 minutes. Dissent accounts for approximately 25 per cent of all yellow cards shown at the Grassroots level of the game.
Diving will NOT be a sin bin offence. That and other yellow cards will continue to be reported as normal.
Over 1,000 clubs received emails over the weekend to see their interest in piloting the scheme during the 2017-18 season.
It's not getting the Premier League treatment just yet Clubs from Step 7 of the Non-League system downwards are set to take part.
That includes leagues such as the Central Midlands League Division North and Division South, the Midland League Division Two, the South Midlands League Division Two, the Staffordshire County Senior League Premier Division, and the West Midlands (Regional) League Division One.
The caution administered will still be recorded but the usual £10 fee will not be applied.
The IFAB gave the go-ahead to allow countries to introduce extra substitutes, sin bins and varying match durations to disability, grassroots and youth football in March.

While they're at it, can they introduce set piece substitutes? I love this idea from hockey where you can bring on a set piece expert then promptly re-substitute them in the next break of play.Was muß, das muß.Comment

I can just see it. Rooney dives in two footed breaking the opposing player's leg. Ref has the audacity to blow for a free kick. Rooney kicks the ball away in disgust, knocking wee Timmy off his wheelchair in the front row, then covers the ref head to two in saliva when shouting profanities at him for giving the free kick. Ref smiles, pats him on the bum and send him on his way. Opposition player asks for permission to take the free kick, BANG, sin binned for descent.Originally posted by red g View PostIf we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?Comment
