Shoot outs are more of a punishment for the fans.  To not have a shot on goal for 90 minutes but win a championship game on a shoot-out--just terrible.  Shoot out wins happen in the World Cup as well.    If your going to win, win by playing the ACTUAL  game.  Play until you die or someone scores. As far as the dives go, they're the most entertaining thing about soccer--maybe just forget the boring game and have a new sport called land diving.  It's dramatic, it's exciting, it's fun, it's safe!
