Quote:So how does the "Overtime" or whatever it's called work? I've seen them line up and take what looks like penalty shots before they go back and forth until someone wins?

Just a bit of nomenclature:

 

The time added at the end of each half to compensate for stopped play is officially called "additional time" though the British also use the phrase "stoppage time". Though some people might refer to "additional time" as "extra time", officially "extra time" refers to the two periods of 15 minutes that are added to a match in case of a draw at the end of "regular time."
