I'm neither American nor do I like any American sports, I just think it's worthwhile to maybe take some ideas that might have worked elsewhere. What's wrong with video replays then?

Clearly you don't like the foot either so idk what this thread is about.

only teams who have qualified for the world cup in the last 20 years get to vote on where the world cup is held

As a corollary, only teams who have qualified for a World Cup are allowed to host it.

Abolish draws altogether, have a shootout at the end of every draw with the winner getting 2 points and the loser 1. Everyone wants to see goals, that way no-one will be disappointed with a 0-0 because they still get to see people score

Crossbar challenge imo

Determine the winner of a game based on passing metrics and other advanced stats rather than goals scored

Call them and tell them that they are missing the subtlety. Instead of following the ball, follow the off ball movement. Look for triangles to appear, dissolve and then reappear right before your eyes. Watch as player's heads swivel to find the man making the run for the second pass, not the first. Watch the tight control and decision making. Don't appreciate the pass that was made, appreciate the pass that wasn't because it was more difficult and less likely to be successful.

Watch the instant pressure applied once the ball is lost. Appreciate the monumental patience and discipline required to maintain possession without making foolish passes for long stretches. Realize that they are making things that are incredibly difficult to do both physically and tactically look so easy that it becomes boring.

I thought the only allure of playing in Russia was ridiculous salaries. Why else would anyone go play in that third world wasteland?

First two seconds of this is the best video I could find at the moment and it'll probably get nuked by UEFA soon.

You could even have the opposing team's captain just constantly scream the seconds at the referee's face with no negative repercussions

Don't talk to me about women's sports.
