WFC 2022 Semi-final - SWE vs FIN (Penalty Shootout)

In a nail-biting encounter between Sweden and Finland in the semi-finals of the World Floorball Championships 2022, Sweden emerged victorious in the penalty shootout after a 3-3 draw at the end of overtime. Sweden will now face Czechia in the final, after the latter team beat Switzerland 11-3 in the other semi-final.

My kids played floor ball in school too, when did this game come about? we played floor hockey with the bendy sticks and an orange puck that slid on the hardwood, we used to bend the blade with our hands to get a big curve and wrist shots were only allowed whereas the flex of the shaft generated power , kind of like the way the NHLers use the flex of the stick today to generate power on their shots.

I hate it too. There is too much variables if the goal should be allowed or disallowed. Previous rules were very clear. Can not stop the bal or move it backwards. Now you can move it backwards as long as you are moving forward yourself. But how is that determined? Very judgmental.

[@ollelif8354]

I understand your argument. But I think that the player should have the upper hand. If you get a penalty during regular play, it means that your opponent used a illegal method to prevent a goal. To me it is fair that the chances to score a penalty is higher than it being saved

[@petergustafsson1670]

Probably because you do not live in Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, or Chech Republic - the Big-4 of this sport. It is done in USA, but Stars&stripes is a minnow. In the last Men´s World Championships, Team USA got hammered by Thailand. The Thais were not much more technically proficient, but they were far ahead in brawns&muscle. In the last game, USA just barely avoided DFL place by winning a nailbiter against Singapore. The USA ladies are a bit better. They placed 13th out of 16, and actually did manage to win one game big, against the nonentity Italy. Got solidly beaten by Denmark, though. EDIT: Forgot that the lady stars&stripes won over Thailand, a fantastic pull-yourself-together-when-everything-seems-lost performance by them. Team USA has never won against a nordic team, not in any age category in either sex. Against the big 2 (SWE/FIN), USA has not scored a draw. Nor have they lost nailbiters, or even managed a solid but respectable loss. Every single time, it has been a total wipeout against the big nordic teams. The closest time team USA came to winning over a Nordic team was, IIRC, a 1-9 loss against Iceland, the by far weakest Nordic country. In fact, I seriously doubt, and I am quite dead serirous here, that the USA men could win over the Sweden women. Testosterone is one hell of a drug, but there is so much playing ability to make up for so I hold our big blonde machine as slight favorites.
