my Bill the v corps savant for nearly 40 was partly responsible because of his insistence that a team must score five goals in a soccer shootout to i disagreed with telling him that the shoot out can be determined with lesser number of goals with the mandatory five shooters from each team taking if the score remains tied after the 10 then the shootout continues with each team alternating shots until a Winner is in the shootout could be determined without All five players from each team getting an attempt to to wit if the first three players from one team score goals and the first three from
