^To just play until it's over.

If you only allow extra subs in extra time, then you'll have games decided on the players that weren't involved at all throughout the game and in most cases tournament. And penalty kicks do not equal free throws.

And penalty kicks do not equal free throws. What do you mean? Change regularly throughout the game. If you need to sit Lionel Messi for 20 minutes or so then so be it if you want him in there to win the game.But this is meaningless, the whole point is that it's still pure luck.
People defending this are just blindly loving thier sport and can't admit any fault in it. To determine your winner of a sport while not even playing the sport is just wrong and undermines the sport itself.You can take amatuer players and they could win a game against pros based on penalty kicks, but Put them in a real game and they would be exposed as amateurs
