QuoteWasn't the African Nations Cup settled after something like 13 penalties each in the mid nineties?
From soccernet:
An English FA Cup preliminary round replay between Tunbridge Wells and Littlehampton Town was decided after a 40-penalty shootout on Thursday, the third highest ever recorded in a senior match.
Tunbridge Wells advanced 16-15 after the teams drew 2-2 after extra time. The original match ended in a 1-1 draw on Saturday.
The world record for the highest number of penalties taken in a shootout was established in January this year when 48 were required to settle a Namibian Cup first-round tie. KK Palace eventually beat Civics 17-16 after the match had finished 2-2 after extra time.
Forty-four penalties were needed in a shootout in 1988 when Argentinos Juniors beat Racing Club 20-19 after drawing 2-2 in a league match.
how does 17 + 16 = 48, do they count differently in namibia??Originally Posted by Poor Student

Why would you have penalties after a drawn league match?Forty-four penalties were needed in a shootout in 1988 when Argentinos Juniors beat Racing Club 20-19 after drawing 2-2 in a league match.
In some places they dont have draws and the settle every drawn game with a penalty shootout. This is the only reason I can see for it in this case.
In Trap we trust
Premiership take note, might improve the godawful crap they've been serving up the last few years.
