The problem with penalizing any arm contact with an IFK is that most (all?) professional players could ping the ball off an arm from a yard or two away. A lot of strategy would be "get into favorable position, wait for defender to close down, ping ball off arm" to get a free kick.

Don't players try to do this now when the ball is in the box? If there isn't a good cross available, just ping the ball off the defender. Worst case: turnover. Middle case: corner kick. Best case: a free goal from a penalty kick.

Some do, yes, but from what I've seen it's mostly limited to when they're in the corner and they don't see a good cross anymore because there is a middle case. I don't see many players do it in the middle of the field. I'm saying making all contact with arms a free kick (DFK or IFK depending on if you think it's intentional or not) will cause it to start occurring more often and in the middle of the field because you've replaced "Worst case: Turnover" with "Worst case: Indirect free kick" for most professional players. I can't imagine there are too many pros that play in attacking positions that couldn't hit the arm of a defender marking them with the ball.

I agree with all of this. I would have called this a PK in U12 and up, actually (unless it was girls, then probably U14 or 15). The issue is 'making yourself bigger' even though it may not have been intentional, the arm being in an unnatural position is indeed 'deliberate'. This situation is a cut and dry PK at most levels (and a caution).

I'd call it a penalty U12 and down, hell, I'd even take it myself to let those little bitchmade babies know what's up

Just regular football only with two balls. All the other rules stay the same. Two refs to watch each ball. If a foul is committed near one ball, the ref watching that ball calls it but you can keep playing with the other ball while you set up the free kick or whatever.

Goalkeepers will have to really be on their toes because while you're watching a free kick or penalty, someone else could be trying to score with the second ball.

If nobody has scored a goal in the past ten minutes, one player from each team is removed to where the fourth official stands. The rest of the game continues as normal while these two players engage in a fierce battle of keepy-uppy (they may attempt to kick, trip, or otherwise interfere with each other). A goal is awarded to the team of whichever player wins.

Not sure if these have been submitted but here goes:
- turn based encounters using dice rolls to decide who gets to keep possession. Each season a new rule book costing $90 will be published.
- former players as guest referees
- the outlawing of Liverpool football clubs and those in the greater merseyside area

There should be a shot clock for goal kicks. Once a goal kick is awarded, you have to kick it within 15 seconds or its a corner. This would speed up the game immensely.

There already is an 'unofficial' clock for all restarts (and a slightly more official one for keeper kicks). Slightly delaying is gamesmanship, yes, but you can get cautioned for it. I think a United player got a yellow for it against Wolfsburg the other day. It just isn't enforced enough.

This happens more in Europe than in domestic leagues, and it's almost always worth it for the keeper to stall and gain a minute instead of putting the ball back in play, even if it means a yellow. It's the most obvious form of time wasting, which is why you see it cautioned more than faking an injury or arguing a call.

Probably be better if it were 15 seconds from when the goalkeeper gets the ball from the ballboy or something.

Here's a change for football: stop allowing England have 4 teams out! It's ridiculous. One country, one team - that's what I always say. Maybe that's why they never do well in major tournaments. Because Gareth Bale plays for Wales not England.

If you were going to do this properly it should be a bonus point for scoring three goals whether you win, lose, or draw though, like in rugby. 0 for a loss, 1 for a draw, 3 for a win, 1 for a loss scoring 3 goals, 2 for a draw scoring 3 goals, 4 for a win scoring three goals. So if it's an exciting 4-3 both teams benefit more than a poo poo 1-0.
