vyelkin posted: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. I ran the numbers on how this would have affected the MLS season and found some interesting stuff. First, Toronto has scored 3 or more goals 10 times in 31 games (and still might miss the playoffs); with those extra 10 points they would have secured a playoff spot. Los Angeles didn't have their first 3-goal game until June 20, but has done eight of them since. Houston is currently 3 points out of a playoff spot, but would be level on points (41+6=47) with San Jose (44+3) and ahead of Portland (44+2). Every team in MLS has done at least one three-goal game, with ten of the twenty-one teams having 5 or more out of ~30 games played. For added excitement, 3-goal games could be the tiebreaker, instead of goal differential, in which case Houston would actually be in a playoff spot instead of San Jose. I'm going to look at the EPL later and see if it would have made a difference in who won or who got relegated.

If these rules were in place then every team plays differently than they already did and the results are completely different.

I'll grant that there were quite a few games which ended 2-1 or 2-0, where the team in the lead might have pushed extra hard for a third if this system were already implemented.

Hmmm, there could also be an issue with gentleman's agreements where if teams were tied 2-2 they would both mysteriously score extra goals in stoppage time. But hopefully the game theory problem of cheating (i.e. scoring a cheat goal but then preventing the opposition from scoring their own cheat goal) would be enough to stop that, since teams would rather take the 4 points for a win once they went ahead than settle for the 2 points of a draw.

mackintosh posted:We used to have this in the 80s. 1 point for a draw, 2 for a win and 3 for a win by 3 goals or more. I like this more than giving teams an incentive to just start the match at 3-3. That is just silly. Maybe also give teams -1 points for losing by 3 goals or more so the losing team is interested in the match as well.

As vyekelin says, gentleman's agreements would never happen in a proper league with billions of pounds at stake, too much media attention and too much incentive for one side to break them. It's a non issue.

There should be 3 things: Europe-wide football pyramid, national cup competitions, Europe-wide cup competition. Maybe a super cup for the winners of the top league and the European cup.

A Europe wide football pyramid would become regional after about 2 divisions because most clubs are broke as gently caress and couldn't afford the cost of travelling round the continent every other week

I've thought maybe 3-4 but it could be 2. I'm offended that you though I suggested just throwing all the teams in the same pot. Not much would change for the likes of current lower league England or Finland and other places like that.

I guess the word pyramid made me think you meant all the way down rather than just a few European super divisions. I'd like to see some of the more irrelevant leagues merge to try to generate some interest in the face of the Prem's massive TV deal, its a shame to see former European greats unable to compete because they are stuck in a league with no money.

Well, a few super leagues, then a few regional ones, then mostly the same we have now. Some places have occasionally tried the regional thing but since UEFA do not allow allocation of the European spots(and therefore the money) to regional leagues there is very little interest for the teams to do well.
