Notes
At the
King Hassan II
International Cup Tournament in
Morocco in 1998, the penalty kick shootout was used at the end of regulation
time in England's scoreless draw with Belgium although elimination from the
tournament was not at stake. Because each team played only two of the other three teams
in the tournament, special rules were adopted to ensure there would be a
single tournament winner. Playing extra-time was ruled out; the
participating teams were two weeks away from the World Cup final tournament in
France, and it was too hot in Morocco for extra-time anyway. An extra
tournament point was awarded for winning a penalty kick contest in matches
drawn after 90 minutes, and penalty kick goals were included in the goals for
and goals against columns in the tournament table, both measures taken to
break deadlocks in the team standings.
