GMS. Couldnt that still hypothetically give one of the teams only one shot? If so how is this a improvement over the current system?

What he is saying is that both teams get the ball in over time if then its still tied it goes to who ever scores next. The only real change in this is that it garanties that both them get the ball.

Yes I see that. I just didn't give it enough thought. I can see that as a good option as well.
