All these games have been crazy. Being decided by kicks a lot of drama

There has to be a better way. It's so artificial.

Default World Cup
First of all, two INCREDIBLE matches today, filled with high drama. The
teams I wanted to win, actually won (Alert the media!)

Regarding PK shootouts -Peter and any other commenters:

It is vital that I begin by saying I greatly, greatly prefer matches that end
after regulation. People express disdain for PKs but don't offer any other
way. The fact is that, in order to get to PKs, two teams are given THIRTY
extra minutes to resolve it, and most do. These teams don't get a million
timeouts and commercial breaks, and can't substitute ad infinitum either.
It's got to end somehow, and PKs are an art (both sides of the equation).
Today's PKs were tense, which was actually cool...

Regarding PK's being "artificial", I'm not so sure. I think the end of
practically every televised college basketball game- which is a glorified
free throw shooting contest brought about by (uncalled) intentional fouls
that often occur 80 feet away from the basket- is the true "artificial"
ending to a sports contest. Now THAT is a joke...

At any rate, no one has come up with a better way after decades of debate.
I'm just glad today was memorable- Trent King

The alternative to penalty kicks deciding games is simple. Replace them with sudden death overtime at the 90 minute mark. No 30 minute extra time and no PKs. Score a goal and the match is over.

The problem with that is many extra time games will get decided by some dumb ass penalty call on a flop setting up the game winning penalty kick. It's already a huge problem, witness the second Argentina goal.

If a flopper gets up and runs like nothing happened, eject him and shoot the ref.
