I don't agree with you, especially not in cup games. This gives less skilled teams more chances to win, which belongs in a cup where you will always see cupfighters.
Check out the Dutch Soccer Cup this year for example. The best teams were out before the quarter finals. One of the worst Dutch Soccer teams in the first league made it to the semi's, where they lost with penaltys after a 2-2 after 120 minutes.
CT has it's charm, so it should stay to give the smaller teams more chance to win a game vs a bigger and better team. Otherwise you will never see cupfighters here.
If only TIE and Normal will be there, you will win more because you belong to the better teams, so it would be better for you. But I do think it adds an extra dimension to the game, which should not be removed.
You can only win a cup if you are lucky enough no-one will CT against you. If you do it yourself, you will be gone the next round, so no one wanting that cup will do it, but teams who know they can't make it might CT just to get 1 round more, and it totally sucks.
And I do think this is more an emotional statement than something else. Which might be logic because you just lost a game. Ok it sucks to get an opponent who CT's, but it does requir some skill (and luck) to pick out the right moment for your CT's. Your statement is something like only a CT in the final is valid, which I think is too 'heavy' if you understand what I mean ;)
