Frei was never well-liked, which I don't understand because he scored and he spat on Stevie G which owns. Barnetta has always been a garbageman.

What can FIFA do to improve this sport? Bigger goals? Bigger fields? Fewer players? Scoring is too low. Very boring.

10 men, no gloves for the goalie, multiball if scoreless at the half.

Yeah this really needs to happen in the cups and champions league. How many teams could participate in this if they did it FA cup style?

But teams can defend too well now too. Need a radical change like when they banned the backpass

If there are no goals by halftime, make each side take out a defender every 10 minutes until the game ends.

That thing you posted a while back where a maths guy made a system that was kinda like a group stage in terms of number of games each team plays but matches actually have some semblance of importance seemed like a good compromise but I can't really remember the details.

They could trial getting rid of or changing offside and see what happens, that would at least stretch out the playing area / players ratio, or as we say in the advanced stats community, now thats PAPR.

Bigger goals maybe? The current goal size was set in the 1880s when the average man was 5 foot 2
