Whats wrong with corner kicks?
In your July 11 column, you claimed that the notion of corner kick totals as a tiebreaker was absurd. But you didn’t give any reason. I agree with you that replays should be used, but I doubt it’s going to happen in today’s world, which is geared toward compressed tournament schedules and instantaneous gratification. I think corner kick totals are certainly better than penalties. Corners tend reward attacking sides, whereas penalties are what boring, defensively oriented teams play for when they feel they can’t win in open play.
