FIFA set to make major rule shake-up pre-knockouts

FIFA set to make major rule shake-up pre-knockouts

One coin toss, not two. FIFA want to scrap the double-flip before shootouts at this summer’s World Cup. The winner of the coin toss would choose whether to take the first kick or which end the penalties will be taken at — loser gets what’s left.
