Allow throw-ins to be kick-ins. Can't score directly but you can float it in. Reckon we'll see more goal action this way, and also pressures players to keep the ball in.

If they really wanted to see more goals a la lovely American sports they could just make the goal bigger.

I defo think we should make keepers do more though.

But what about the freaks like Rory Delap?

Get rid of penalties to decide a match, just keep playing extra time until someone scores. Reduce the number of players on each team by one every ten minutes until it's 1 vs 1 if no goal is scored. Who do you sub off, a defender or an attacker? Keep on the talented guy with the dodgy hamstring or the shitter who can run and run and run? Excitement for all.

What happened to the FIFA policy of only allowing sovereign states to start playing football? How long is it before we see Aaland Islands vs. Ceuta?

Anyway, wait to you see wht they're doing for Euro 2020. Besides holding the tournament in 13 different countries (which I think is actually a neat idea) there's going to be a parallel qualifying tournament called the UEFA Nations League. The basic qualifying tournament will be roughly the same; 10 groups of 5 or 6 teams with the top 2 qualifying for the finals. That leaves 4 spots for the Nations League one for the best team from each league not yet qualified through the normal qualification. And the leagues will be based on rankings at first with promotion and relegation, not that there's much point in getting promoted since the chances of qualifying are the same in each league- oh except the top league has the prestigious final four.

http://www.uefa.org/about-uefa/executive-committee/news/newsid=2191264.html#nations+league+format

What annoys me most about this is that UEFA got a potentially good idea but rather than running with it just half-assed it and now there'll be extra matches without significantly changing who's likely to be in the final tournament. What they could have done was keep the current format (9 groups of 6) and have the groups based on ranking and with promotion and relegation, ie. maybe 3 leagues of 2 groups of 6 and a bottom league with 3 groups. The higher leagues get more places so that promotion to a higher league actually means something and also the matches are more competitive. So there might be a group with Andorra, San Marino, Moldova, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and the Faroes but there would only be one playoff spot whereas a group with say Spain, Germany, Russia, Croatia, Portugal and Italy would have 3 automatic places and 3 play-off spots with the bottom placed team being relegated for the next qualifying tournament.

I felt the blue cards from indoor soccer would be a good addition to cut down on players just hacking people down and fouling a few times a game so they only draw a yellow that realistically doesn't really have any implication. Essentially if a player is fouling enough he should be carded and made to "sit" realistically stand out for a 3-5 minutes and force their team to go down a man. Because pretty much fouls dont really mean anything unless it is close to a box or serious enough to warrant a red which alot of refs are reluctant to hand out.

Run it like a tennis tournament. Have 32 seeded teams filtered into four brackets, and another 96 teams filling in the bracket's empty spaces, chosen by a mixture of world rankings (with a revamped world rankings system) and qualifying rounds for the worse nations. Then a straight knockout seven-round tournament.

No substitutions in the last 5 minutes unless there is an injury.

Because how do they still get away with that? It seems every time a team is 2-1 up they bring on a random in the dying seconds just to blatantly run the clock down. It annoys the poo poo out of every single time.

I would make a change so that if a substitution happens in injury time the commentators don't go insane when the time ticks one second past the final added minute and the referee doesn't immediately end the match.
