Should high score footie games end early?

It can be pretty upsetting when you lose at football - especially if you lose by a lot of goals.



Some officials want the Football Association to introduce a new rule which would mean a game would end early if one team has a nine goal lead.



It's being called the 'Mercy Rule' and it's already used in the USA. Now some junior football associations want it introduced here.



What to you think? Should games be stopped if looks like one team is scoring too many goals?



Or should both teams be allowed to keep on playing to the end - even if it means a big defeat for the losers?Should high score footie games end early?
I don't even think in any English team that would end more than 9-0 to a team at the end of a match. Maybe once or twice, but the FA wont change it since it happens very very rarely. So yes the game should last 90 minutes as usual. As for other teams it is still hard to net 9 goals and not concede any. Unless the team is very weak there is no point ending a match early because that would enrage fans and the winning team.
