As a corollary, only teams who have qualified for a World Cup are allowed to host it.

The problem with more subs/bigger benches is that it favors the rich teams that can afford to have stronger benches since they can throw away money on large wages for better players to sit on the bench. I like the idea but I can see how it might lead to less parity in the league.

League matches don't have extra time.

Give goalkeepers crazy padding like in hockey and let them wipe out attackers in the penalty area as long as they get sort of near the ball.

An extra sub allowed if there's an extra time, I think is a good change.

I'd like to see a free sub allowed if a player gets a concussion. The player would then have a mandatory two-week medical suspension to ensure that he is symptom-free when he returns, and also to prevent teams from cheating the system by faking head injuries in order to get a free sub.

Kick-ins (instead of throw-ins) are also a wonderful idea. I played in a rec league that did kick-ins, and it was a total blast - you were allowed to score directly from one, if you could, and in one game a guy scored a thirty-yarder against our backup goalkeeper.

The problem I see with kick-ins is that it would make loads more long breaks in play. Whenever there is a corner of free-kick (in a dangerous area) it takes a minute or two for the players to take their positions in the box, and having that happen every time the ball goes out of play in the final third would be frustrating to watch.

Also someone mentioned hockey-style shootouts, and it was done in the US in the 80's to some degree. With some changes it could be awesome.

I think that players should wear shorter shorts and maybe tanktop kits. Mesh is a good material and should be incorporated more frequently, both into the tops and the shorts.

There's a gay charity soccer match near where I live that's "tops vs bottoms" where one team plays in just shorts and no shirt and the other plays in shirts and skimpy undies and it is insanely ftw if that's your thing.

with the kick ins, make it so that you cant run up to the ball. i.e. your left leg has to remain on the ground. that way its still not as powerful as a free kick but it removes the silly throw in.

If you support multiple teams you have to wear a yellow star at all times and in the very unlikely event that you actually go to a game you have to get on a special packed train full of people like you that drops you off in a concentration camp where you will be worked to death digging graves for your fellow twats.

I think you can get two teams but one has to be your local one and the other has to be very far and in a different league on a different continent. If somehow they ever play you have to support your local team or the Nazi stuff then comes into play.

Edit: maybe another exception if one is local and the other is or 3 or more levels away on the respective pyramid? But still two teams max. I dunno.

Also if you go to an international champions cup style or US exhibition match against a euro team , then yeah you're worked to death and wearing the star. If you go to an exhibition match where your local team plays a big team and you wear the big teams kit your whole family is tortured and killed.

Make them play IN A STEEL CAGE.

The side who gets to kick off is decided by a fight.

Give the goalkeeper a battleaxe

Make all the strikers do tons of cocaine.

Managers have to play for atleast 10 minutes of a match.
