In soccer, penalty kicks are a last resort, used only in playoffs or tournaments and only after 30 minutes of overtime.

And in soccer, the OT itself has been criticized, because the players are dead tired if they've played the whole 120 minutes by the end of OT, and rarely does a team still have a substitution left to use in OT. One solution for that IMO is to allow each team 2 substitutions in OT. But I doubt that will ever happen.
