soccer needs a massive reform, the sport is crap now
here is why:
>too low scoring, 0-0 games happen way too often
>a guy can dive in the box and obtain a penalty kick, which will almost certainly win him the game (free goal most likely). All that because of a dive. Many games have been won because of bs decisions like this.
>guys can abuse the clock since they don't stop it
>guys act like they got shot at the slightest physical contact, stay on the floor and pretend to be hurt
here's my suggestions:
>stop the time when there is no play like other sports (hockey, basketball, etc)
>add instant replays, refs can check the replays to make sure they made the right call.
>make the field smaller, like 75% of what it is now
>add glass boards around the field so the game will be much faster paced
>penalize diving heavily
>in overtime, reduce the number of players to promote more goal scoring
who agrees?

stop telling us what to do with our sport and fucking leaf!!!
>>68920693
That's Hockey Canada.
release lions on the pitch if its still 0-0 at 80 minutes
multiball
shark infested waters behind the goal and remove ball boys
MULTIBALL
>if two teams draw 0-0 in a group stage both get 0 (zero) points
>if two teams draw 0-0 in a knockout stage both get knocked out and sent to gulag
Let the players use guns if the match still 0-0 past first half
>>68920930
This is the only way to fix this shit. Also no 2 * 15 min overtime after 90min.
Bonus rules:
- in order to speed up the pace, taking performance enhancing drugs is mandatory before the game
- scoring an own goal, or defending blatantly bad will result in the player being red carded immediately
A fucking leaf
>replace logos and "sponsours" with actual team crests
>both goalkeepers start game with hands tied behind back
>must untie selves before being able to use them
>defenders are frozen after "tackles"
>keeper must run out and tag them to unfreeze them
>strikers given permission to throw punches but only if he is possession of the ball
>central mid portion of the "pitch" is replaced by a 5 foot deep pit
>only each team's pit warrior gets to enter if the ball gets kicked into the pit
>pit gradually fills with water until the 90th minute when it finally spills over and creates a muddy quagmire in the whole midfield
>player who feigns injury must call home and tell his mother that he is alright before being allowed to rejoin game (this cuts down on diving)
>actually injured players will be tossed into the pit (this cuts down on injuries)
>instant replay
>>68920693
>stop the time when there is no play like other sports (hockey, basketball, etc)
Good
>add instant replays, refs can check the replays to make sure they made the right call.
Good
>make the field smaller, like 75% of what it is now
This isn't FIFA street
>add glass boards around the field so the game will be much faster paced
This isn't FIFA street
>penalize diving heavily
It's already penalized heavily with a yellow card
>in overtime, reduce the number of players to promote more goal scoring
>So less strikers and more defenders? Got it.
>>68920693
>>in overtime, reduce the number of players to promote more goal scoring
I like this, and no penalties ever, but unlimited substitutions are allowed
also multiball
>>68921658
Fucking keked
>>68921776
*unlimited substitutions of the 11 guys, not random bench guys. but only 6 or 7 on the field at once
>>68920693
>can't beat azerbaijan
>complain about soccer needing reform
wew
>>68921658
Fuck man, let's make out own FIFA or IFAB whatever and fix this shit
>>68921658
Would the pit stop filling at halftime or would it keep filling?
>>68921938
Stop filling but players are allowed to pee on it.
>>68921978
Also fans with golden seanson tickets
Van Basten could post in a thread like this he always has this ridiculous idea's. I love him as a footballer but his 'ideas' are retarded as fuck
8vs8 on a shorter field
defender can't make more then 5 obstructions like basketball
yellow card 5 minute sending off
http://www.telegraaf.nl/telesport/voetbal/26083227/__Opmerkelijke_ideeen_Van_Basten__.html
>>68922090
Football must eventually evolve or die.
His wacky insane ideas are what make things like instant replay not sound as crazy
add a second ball 45 mins in
MUL
>>68920693
>>make the field smaller, like 75% of what it is now
This is stupid. A smaller field would mean less goals and offense. Defenses are worse when spread out.
no other sport stirrs so much emotions than this one
simply because of what happened tonight, happened in portugal with greece and so on
a complete shitshow to end with drama
you wont understand, chingchong
here is an idea.
instead of holding it in a big fancy stadium, why don't we hold in the prime ministers/presidents back yard.
>add springs to bottom of all shoes
>all goalies are replaced by chairs
>no more players jerseys, only tank tops with numbers above 60
>mexican team must wear sombreros, french must wear mustaches and berets, germans must wear nazi armbands, americans must wear camo hats, and so on
>game is played on ice cover in lubricant, extra points to the team who is the most gay
>announcing is only done by young girls
>dramatic entrances for teams
>can only touch ball with the tip of your foot
>no tackling
>Penalty calls are decided by popular vote on twitter
>Once per match each coach can send in an extra player to play for 3 minutes, he leaves the game after that
>Offsides are ok as long as the offending player manages to touch a defender's butt before receiving the ball
>Passing the ball back to the GK only allowed if he's out of the box
>Each team may have one player wearing the opposite team's jersey
>Coaches may traverse the field from goalpost to goalpost and back on horseback and brandishing a saber twice per match to inspire and give orders to the players
>Horses may not eat grass from the field
>If a coach gets unhorsed by the other it counts as one goal against the unhorsed's team and he must leave the field
>Goals scored by the horse count for two, coaches may not score goals
>>68921889
>we are bad at this sport! Lets modify it and just play against ourselves !
>hahaha you rest of the world suck at shootbal
Also, this is how baseball and american football were invented
>>68920693
>in overtime, reduce the number of players to promote more goal scoring
This is what they do in some based field hockey ko matches, works a fucking treat
No, football is too exciting now.
We need to roll back all the rule changes that have caused Americans to be interested in it.
Bringing back goal average and 2 points for a win to discourage scoring would be a good start.
It's the greatest sport in the world and doesn't need fixing. If you don't like it it's not for you or you've been watching too much of it.
>it's a amerilards and fucking leafs think their opinion about football matters
Fuck off
>rolling subs
>make the pitch smaller
>if a player stays down for more than 5 seconds, he needs to be substituted out of the game for atleast 10 minutes
>video to help refs
>if a team wastes time by the opposite corner flag, they are awarded a 3 man penalty and the other team is awarded a kick off
>introduce salary caps for the major league. Much less of whan the big teams are paying at the moment
>>68929698
Can't wait for salary caps to be introduced to European club football. We might even see some actual competition.
Ref should have a smartphone to see instant replays
>play it in a huge glass box so you can deflect the ball off it for meme goals and creative passes
>reduce number of outfield players by 2
>get to field an extra player for every goal scored in a match
These alone would fix many issues.
