You don't get draws in football finals. It is always settled.

Rather hypothetical I know but can you imagine the football world being so sanguine about such a matter. The Sun would be running enemies of the people back pages about the umpires... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/49000896 Probably not, as it went in our favour  |

And being English too pushes the price up because of the Home Grown quota.
James Tarkowski being touted at £40m+ a player we nearly signed for peanuts (£50k) when he left Oldham in 2014, we made a bid but Brentford was his chosen destination in the end.
Wasn’t that Alfie Mawson? |

Nor do you in cricket finals. This was settled, just in a way that doesn't satisfy some people (like every other way). |

Yeah but a football world cup would never be decided on corners, for example. The penalties go on until someone misses. The cricket equivalent would be to keep playing the superover until someone wins I guess.

TBF I was more musing the point that if the Umpires had applied the rules correctly New Zealand would have won and the likely reaction if a football game had been lost in such a manner (although its pretty fair to say that the wider media in this country would likely react similarly).

Champions league knock out stages (other than the final) effectively are with the away goal rule. League could get decided on on goals scored if 2 teams had the same goal difference it just never actually happens. A boundary or wicket is the closest thing to a goal cricket has I guess. |

Not sure that's a valid argument - if England had needed 3 off the last ball rather than 2 then Stokes would have gone for a boundary. He might have hit it, he might not. |

Our Junior 5-a-side competitions used to be decided on corners during knockout games if the game ended in a draw..

Kind of looks like the team is called Paddypower and sponsored by HTFC.

Some talk as to whether it's a PP prank as initially seems to be in breach of kit sponsor guidelines that state it must be less than 250sqcm.
