you want attacking football?
Personally, I don't. That's for Real Madrid fans. I don't prefer catenaccio, but I do prefer a balance.

I've seen enough attacking football by Juve's opponents this season. :down:

I wouldn't discard it completely.

What I think would be an excellent idea to make football nicer would be if after the 90 minutes the match is a draw, both teams get one point but then say a 15 min extra time is played and the team that does score gets an extra point. So the winner in extra time would get 2 points and the loser 1 point.

That way once a draw is achieved within the 90 mins, the smaller (or defending team) has nothing to lose and can go forward to try and win an extra point since they would be certain of their one point draw anyway.

It's like ice hockey basically. It would introduce more attacking football imo.
Good idea.

A thing which would make football really interesting in additional time would be cancellation of offsides.

Can you imagine? For 90 minutes teams play diffence and stuff, and then suddenly, tons of action... lots of goals... non-stop!

Ohhhh can't we all remove Blatter. to think of him as president of Fifa is purely SICK
Why didn't they get rid of him after all that hoopla about fraud and missappropriations of funds before the last world cup? Do y'all remember that?

That's an excellent idea actually. Much better than the penalty shootout anyhow

I don't think any of this nonsense will affect football in the near future. The MLS just got rid of their extratime rule, and Fifa was pressuring them about it for years...

and who the fvck is beyond blatter in football Don?
Well, considering that he's elected, somebody has to elect him, so the misappropriated funds probably go to them.
