Good thread, OP. Sorry stuff here gets poo poo on instantly, but we lack moderation lol.

Personally, I'd like to see 3rd/4th place playoff games done away with completely. It's not original by any extent, but nobody gives a gently caress who gets 3rd/4th so lets gently caress off with it, yeah?

Mostly yeah but then there's occasions when a smaller team gets knocked out at the semi-final. Although if you think the 3rd/4th match is bad, Blatter was considering introducing a consolation plate tournament for teams that got knocked out of the first round.


Well, besides being poo poo for entertainment value I don't think either side deserved to be there. The only reason Spain's tactics worked is because Holland didn't properly go all-out defend and literally stick all 11 men on the goal line.

Yep, i think any FIFA tournament should ultimately end up being #1 vs #2 and anyone else can gently caress off. The only reason they torture beaten teams is for more TV money. Its a bad policy.

If they were to rework the bracketing in such a way that the outcome of 3rd vs 4th affected 1st vs 2nd, id have to rethink this lol

People forget lately that sports is #1 about being entertaining. Most of the time soccer isn't anymore.

Teams should both get 0 points for games that finish 0-0

Op, I like your idea of a shotclock, but football is so much better than basketball. How would it work?

To solve the doping problem, all Spanish clubs and players should be banned, as should the Spanish national team in international play.
