Those halfway penalties favour skilful attacking players too much imo. Normal penalties have more of a level playing field between all the players in a team. Anyone can take a penalty, even goalkeepers.

After 120 minutes of a game you have two men running full speed at each other from 35 yards away in less than 7 seconds. It's a recipe for injury disaster as well as it's never as exciting as you might think because these guys are dead tired. Remember that it's still 1v1, so all the rest of the guys are going to be waiting, standing still for 5+ minutes and then running full tilt. If FIFA really cared about player safety, which they don't, this would be the worst possible way to end a game.

The only thing better than John Terry slipping taking a penalty would be John Terry slipping and getting injured while taking an American-style penalty.

Keeper can't leave the penalty box. Dunno how they handled fouls, like if the keeper got rounded and just took the man down, but it would probably be a retake if I were a betting man.

If the goalkeeper fouled the shooter, a regular penalty was awarded.

"In football, time and space are the same thing."
Start closer to the goal and give more time and its a perfect balance. The fundamental aim of football is to score past a goalkeeper in normal play, so this is surely the best way to determine a winner when the 120mins couldn't.
Also any infringement by the keeper means an automatic goal, anything by the taker means an automatic miss.
Sure, you could storm out of goal at full pace but as has been said you'd just get chipped every time.

The pressure is even stronger when you do shootouts, because you have more time to think, and more options.

The only real danger from a collision is the keeper getting a fractured skull, so maybe they could just wear scrum caps?

IFAB are going to discuss whether a yellow card should include sin-binning the player as well. Would start at youth and amateur levels and work its way up to professional leagues in a few years.

Other things they're discussing are whether national associations should have more control over number of substitutes and whether or not to make it so only the captain can talk to the ref.

Referees were the entire reason why England scored 2 goals in 3 group stage games in 2014, their worst showing since their inability to qualify in 1994.

It's a must. It works so well in Rugby where refs speak to the players as if they were children and they take it.

It helps that in rugby the refs have zero qualms about giving further penalties just moving ten metres down the field each time, for things that happen after the original penalty. That's not really a thing in football, you never see a ref move a free kick closer to the goal or give a penalty instead of a free kick for something that happened off the ball after a foul was called.

I think the captains only rule is much needed but only if it's accompanied by a strict 5-second clock where other people talking to the ref get a swift Yellow for coming up to the Ref.

Imagine how much more stamina the Italian and Mexican teams will have if they aren't sprinting to the ref after every whistle.

there was a brief spell where they would bring the free kick forward but it seems to have died out, probably because a lot of the time the kicker prefers it further out to get it up and down over the wall

Moving the wall back could work. A freekick with the wall 15 meters back would be pretty dangerous

If a 10 minute binning was an option we might see more refs punish players for crowding the ref or diving or other things like that.

Refs don't want to give a 1st yellow for something soft like that and then have to send someone off, and they absolutely don't like to give a 2nd yellow for something like crowding the ref.

Yep, most refs are inconstant cowards who refuse to enforce the rules as they're written. That's the problem, not players talking to the refs.

It's a shame because they should. This happens in Italy a decent amount (not as much as it should probably) but it's happened a few times this season in big games even. I think it's helped domestically anyway.
