regulargonzalez posted:To follow up on the football analogy, here is a modest proposal that I think would be more interesting. Should probably go in the newbie thread but in the interest of continuing the discussion here, I'll leave it. Especially since nothing is going on in the game. Hmm I see where you're going with this, but I think we can do even better. I find the rectangular goal to be a strange concept. A ball can just roll in. What's the challenge with that? How about we make the goal round and suspend it from the air? Some sort of basket. Also I think we should make it illegal to dribble. Which means that to get the ball forward, we will see constant passing, adding an element of danger to the play because they can lose the ball much more easily. We'll see the end of boring possession-based play this way I think because of the repeated turnovers. I was also thinking of adding some fixed positions, or "bases" if you will. Players will have to rotate between those "bases" as and when they get the ball, and when a player makes a full rotation, we consider that a goal, in addition to the option of scoring it through the "basket" that I mentioned earlier. And finally, do the players have to use their feet? Wouldn't we make the game much more dynamic and interesting if they were allowed to use their hands as well? Would make for far more interesting plays, in my opinion. Maybe we could even add bats into the element. Your thoughts?

I liked how Holland gave us the impression that they could take penalties last game. Then right back to failing..

Instead of even playing all the games, every last 16 team should just play against the same Brazil lineup Germany did, and see how many goals they can beat them by. Biggest margin of victory gets the world cup.

I hate 120 minutes of back and forth tense games (Netherlands/Argentina was not one of these) that have you on the edge of your seat, and then get decided by that lame poo poo.

penalties are a dumb way to finish a game, after the 120 minutes teams should be allowed to grab the ball with their hands and the first team to score a try wins
