Fans of the winning team are awarded a hot pie in victory.

The extra determination by the players, knowing that their 12th man will be awarded a delicious treat upon exiting the stadium, will alter the dynamics of the game without explicitly changing the rules. Can you imagine a tearful David Luiz vowing to provide the entire nation with a pie to make amends?

This already happens. If the Scorps score two goals and win, free slice of pizza. Three goals
And win? Free fries from McDonalds!!!

They won 3-0 last night so guess what I'm having for lunch tomorrow... :smuggo:

There should be a shot clock for goal kicks. Once a goal kick is awarded, you have to kick it within 15 seconds or its a corner. This would speed up the game immensely.

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.

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