and then they changed it - was called the golden goal

But, as I once told Sir Winston Churchill, penalties are the worst way to break a tie, except for all the others.

And it's not really random either. It's everything to do with confidence and mental state. That's why some teams (Germany, etc) always win them and others (England) never do.

You can't deny it's exciting.
