That is just asking for injuries.
Ya, good point on the sitting out then going back in... But basketball players do it... I'd be for anything that has actually playing soccer decide the game, rather than the flukiness of PK's. In hockey, 4-on-4 makes a huge difference, as each side loses 20% of it's skaters. And 3-on-3 is guaranteed to have plenty of scoring opportunities. I'm not sure in soccer that 10-on-10 would make a big enough difference. That's only a 10% reduction on a huge field. Maybe 8 on 8? 7 on 7?
