The Silver Goal Rule: UEFA's Forgotten Experiment
Next Goal Wins ... kind of - Football’s history is packed with rules that made sense… and some that didn’t quite hit the mark. Cue the Silver Goal rule, a forgotten chapter that graced our beloved game for a brief and unremarkable (for the most part) stint in the early 2000s. What was the Silver Goal? How was it supposed to improve extra time + penalties? And, most importantly, And why did it vanish faster than your pre-season optimism?
In this video, we dive into how Silver Goal came about, how it differed from the Golden Goal, and why UEFA thought it would stop teams from parking the bus. From matches that saw the rule in action (and for the most part ignored), to the head-scratching announcement of its demise before Euro 2004, to how it created a defining moment that helped shape Greece's underdog story of said tournament. Join us for a trip down memory lane to one of football’s oddest rule changes.

    I've recently thought of an alternative overtime solution, can't imagine I'm the first one, but I haven't ever seen it being brought up. The idea is: in every play-off game teams start with a pre-match penalty shoot-out. Winning team now has an advantage in case of a draw, effectively half a goal. No overtime required. Disadvantage - you need to allocate additional time before the match, but the spectacle is there, spectators love penalty shoot-outs, although the stakes are lower in this case. I guess it might be ok as a sort of a warm-up. Advantages - penalty shoot-out does not decide the outcome of the match, just tips it in a favor of one team; but the biggest for me, at no point in the game both teams are satisfied with the outcome and willing to let time run (and in some play-off matches now it might be true for the most of all 120 minutes).

    Dinamo Zagreb has 14 out of 15 titles. The club is way ahead from the other HNL clubs that even cannot enter any of the UEFA's group stages, while Dinamo Zagreb is every year either in CL, EL or KL. You all probably know by now tons of players Dinamo produced through their football academy like: Luka Modric, Dani Olmo, Josko Gvardiol, Eduardo Da Silva, Mario Mandzukic, Dejan Lovren, and so on.

  • @randomguy8107
    @randomguy8107 3 дні тому

    Unpopular opinion : penalties are hype as fuck and exactly what Im looking forward to when a match doesn’t seem like it’ll have a winner. It’s the purity of it. One attacker, one goalie, one shot. Everything is in the head, and there is genuinely a lot of skill to it. Of course it’s not football as it is in the 120 minutes prior. But it is a genuine part of playground football to me. I would actually watch penalty competitions where a match is just 1v1, successive penalties, and both players shoot with the other one in goal

  • @TribalGent
    @TribalGent 3 дні тому

    All are amazing, imo. I would structure them differently. For example, having the Quater final decided with a golden goal option, the semi with a silver goal option and the final with the traditional extra time and penalty shootout to the end.

    It's so weird to think that at around the same time, a similar argument between leagues was going on in the country's blue-ribbon sport of American Football. The American Football League had been around since 1960 to compete with the National Football League; however, no one thought it was up to the same standard. But when the champions of the AFL beat the NFL champions in a small game you might have heard of called the Super Bowl, they decided to merge the two leagues.

  • @Tillyard86

    I came to the comments hoping to see further discussion of the silver goal, but instead, it is just people gushing over how well-made the video is; nice, I guess, but what about the topic of the video? Anyway, the interesting thing about sudden death is that it’s been a thing in American Football for years, and many fans have hated it for a while now because it means that the first team to get the ball often wins straight away. I think the penalty shoot-out is the thing that needs fixing. Do the thing they have in hockey and have them dribble the ball towards the goal from further back with about ten seconds to put it in the goal. It's much more chancy and exciting to watch.

  • @lawrenceporter8389
    @lawrenceporter8389 4 дні тому

    Statistical evidence doesn’t back the popular notion that golden goal encourages more defensive play in extra time. Teams just play defensively in extra time anyway. The 2002 World Cup saw five knockout games go to extra time and three were decided by a golden goal with just two shootouts. The first World Cup after golden and silver goal were scrapped 2006 saw six knockout games go to extra time and only two saw any scoring in extra time and four went to penalties despite the need for caution supposedly reduced.

  • @lawrenceporter8389
    @lawrenceporter8389 4 дні тому

    You play extra time to determine a winner after a draw in 90 minutes. How can it be an advantage of a system if someone scores in extra time for that the other team still has a chance to make it a draw?

  • @srjt1684
    @srjt1684 4 дні тому

    Extra time is still just as boring without golden goal. Teams are knackered and play defensively waiting for penalties. The solution is to go straight to penalties. They are not a lottery. They are all about skill and composure.

  • @lewisfarrar7411
    @lewisfarrar7411 4 дні тому

    Make the penalty spot a yard or two farther away to bring the xG down from 0.78 to 0.5. This will eliminate goalkeepers guessing which way to dive thus reducing the luck element to shoot outs
