What is to stop a player deliberately "doing" the opposition goalkeeper towards the end of extra time so he can't take part in a penalty shoot out?
Picture the scene - world cup final, couple of minutes to go and its England vs Brazil. All square and heading for penalties. Neither team has any subs left.
What is stopping someone "sacrificial" like Gary Cahill taking one for the team and going and injuring the opposition goalie so they have to play an outfield player to go in goal for the penalty shoot out.
Cahill would get a ban but would probably take international retirement and be a hero to his nation.
I wonder why it hasn't ever happened before

Seems like you both have very similar / devious minds
No Swedish band jokes
That might wash in South America but he wouldn't get another job in football if he did that whether we won or not - the press would pulverise him and rightly so. No TV pundit work, no coaching or managerial work, nobody would touch him with a barge pole after that.
And the whole world would know England cheated to win the world cup we would get zero kudos or respect for that.
I'm really surprised it's never happened going by some of the shithouse behaviour at this World Cup
If team A has 2 players sent off
Team B nominate 2 players not to take a penalty

I don't want to talk
About the things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
Except to break the goalies leg.
Orlando City had their goalkeeper sent off before a defender made the winning save as they beat New York City FC in a bizarre penalty shootout to progress in the Major League Soccer play-offs.
The shootout was poised at 4-3 to Orlando after both sides had taken four penalties, when Orlando keeper Pedro Gallese thought he had sealed the win for his side by saving Valentin Castellanos' penalty.
But VAR intervened and ruled Gallese was off his line, and he was shown a second yellow card, having been booked for time-wasting in extra time.
Orlando brought on substitute keeper Brian Rowe, but as he stood on the goalline for the retake the referee indicated a substitution was not allowed and sent him back off the pitch.
Instead, Argentine defender Rodrigo Schlegel took the gloves.
Castellanos scored at his second attempt to level things up and the shootout went to sudden death when Orlando and former Manchester United forward Nani's penalty was saved.
Both teams scored to make it 5-5 before Schlegel's heroics as he saved Gudmundur Thorarinsson's attempt - cue celebrations from Orlando players and staff who thought the game was over, unaware the shootout was still level.
Eventually Benji Michel scored to seal a 6-5 win - Orlando's first ever victory in the play-offs.
Opta tweeted that there had been 21 minutes 35 seconds between the first and last penalty attempts in the shootout.
The match had earlier finished 1-1 after extra time with Orlando having right-back Ruan sent off in the 87th minute for violent conduct.

They didnt even mention the referee miscounting, which added to the fun

I think the ref is sup the other team choose a "non-taker" when the keeper was sent off.
Heaven knows what happens if the score is 10 - 10 and the eleventh penalty is saved. After saving the penalty, the goalkeeper could deliberately get himself sent off so he doesn't actually have to take his turn. Would it revert to his teams best penalty taker to take the eleventh strike and win the game?
