And found this:

"The only tournament that saw the inclusion of extra-time in all knockout games was in 2011. However, this was widely criticised by fans and the usual state of play was reinstated by the time the competition returned in 2015."


From what the talking heads say, extra time is usually boring. Teams are afraid to be exposed after putting the effort. They tried using "sudden death" to motivate them but that made it worse.
The world cup final had an amazing extra time but perhaps it's an outlier.

That’s bizarre, the idea that the fans don’t like the extra time. I prefer the European rules.
