Other Sports Another SOCCER thread: Here's what FIFA should do. - Page 2

1- Keep the three-sub rule for the duration of the game. Allow one extra substitution for over-time.

2- Allow unlimited substitution at halftime.

3- Join the 21st century with video technology. Replays don't have to be for every little dispute or questionable call. Just goals the are disallowed with near obvious bad calls or ref mistakes. Goals that are illegally stopped by D in a rather obvious infraction (remember US/Germany 2002). Use them also in Red-card situations. Kaka should never have been kicked out that last game.

4- Continuing the video tech theme, there should be cameras dedicated to the goal line (as in Tennis' line cameras) to show whether a ball is actually in as a goal or not.

5- Devise a way to severely punish cheap dives, even if it's after a post-match review. Red-card a blatant diver, after the review and make him ineligible for the next game. Better yet, the next two games. (example: the guy who grabbed his face and fell on the ground in 'excruciating' pain after Kaka feather-touched him in the chest.)

Ideas not yet included in the list since I'm not yet convinced:

A- One offside goal per game should be allowed using basically a team coupon?

B- Maybe having two refs each assigned to half a field?

Your thoughts, ideas and arguments not just welcome but encouraged. I will add the ones that convince me to the above list.

Discuss away.

I don't know why they don't just stop the clock during a substitution or injury instead of adding a sort of random amount of time.

Actually I think this is what the ref does on the field on his watch. I'm not sure about this one though.

Yah, I'm having that problem too. My guess is to quote other posts to move it into the next page?

The bottom of the page won't show the controls for edit, etc...

I think if we quote posts and go into the next page, everything will work?

They should play with two balls. With one of the balls being a 2 pt power ball.

That one is admittedly a very raw idea. Frankly as an ex Soccer player I felt a bit dirty suggesting that. But I thought some more polished version of that might help increase scoring and make it more palpable to Americans.

Not really. That one is a good thread but it's very general. I wanted to focus on ideas for improvement.

I say use the technology for goal line situations only. Even though refs make mistakes, you can't stop down and go over to a video camera for every little foul. Red card situations are often based upon perceived intent, which is a subjective thing for the ref, so a review usually won't help there.

See red. I have already covered that. Thanks for the thoughtful reply tho.
