After every 15 minutes of sudden-death overtime, each team must remove one player from the field. How long do you think a game would last under those circumstances?

I like this. It would really throw a wrench into the works as well as force some tough decisions by coaches. For instance, who do you pull first? Do you go with a roster heavy on strikers and risk diluting your defense, or save your midfielders for mobility and one top striker up front? The amount of time would likley depend on how the teams took shape after the second or third round of removals.

Interesting. Then again, I think anything would be an improvement on shoot outs.

Most likely you'd end up removing the midfielders first, and keeping your forwards around for attempts at "Hail Mary"-type long passes.
