FIFA ought to just dispense with the first 120 minutes and go right to the shoot-out.

Other than the awful officiating in some of these games, I'd say the number of games that were ultimately determined by penalty shots had to be the most embarrassing aspect of this World Cup.

I wouldn't mind seeing them go with the Sudden death OT instead of the extra 30 minutes, or maybe let the teams add another sub. Those guys are just too tired. Around the 10th minute of OT or so you can tell everyone one is pretty much waiting for the PKs anyways.

I think FIFA has to look at how they do substitutions. France was robbed of her best players late.

Here is my proposal.

Double the number of substitutions to 6.
Allow a player to come out and return 1 time.
