Hmm, my call is to shorten the soccer field by thirty yards width by fifteen yards, remove the off-sides penalty whistles, and widen the goal three feet (height is okay as is). Reduce the number of players on field to eight per side, and stretch two periods of play to six, with two minute intermissions between periods. Reducing field size would make for more charging the other team's goal, allow TV coverage to capture more of the individual duals between players, and increase scoring. Game division should change for sure, to six fifteen minute periods. Eight subs should be allowed per game and penalty cards should be wiped out at the end of each game. It might help to have two differeent scoring zones, so a goal from thirty yards is worth one and from fifteen is worth two.
Now, does anyone know if there's an online way to listen to the WC games without having to pay for it?... A link would be appreciated.
