That would be a fairer format, but I've read that the football governing bodies aren't introducing it as it would be more confusing for people.



The football (soccer) offside rule is often held up as an example of complication, so I doubt a reordering of penalty kicks will be too hard to follow.

Rugby union has several different offside rules - well one rule but it is quite involved. Also they are laws! https://www.world.rugby/the-game/laws/law/10

Haha, I mean I follow football closely and last season with VAR it’s been almost impossible to under the rules the Refs are enforcing.
