I agree with the article, and the scaling down reasons for not changing the rules for the most part. However, when players are being paid millions, and countries reputations are on the line, there is no scaled down version of that anyhow. And therefore...
There is only one thing I would change: if a violation is noted by one of the refs (such as an offsides), and a goal is scored during that same time the violation flag went up...let the coach have the ability to call for a review of the violation call.
- ErrantX 16y agoPlease no! One of the best parts of Football (IMO) is that the ref rules; it introduces that element of risk that can lead to the excruciating moments that define the sport. "we was robbed". Besides; in the example you cite in the vast majority of cases it will be ruled as a no-goal (I've seen it happen quite a few times this world cup).
- lenni 16y agoI agree. Referee decisions are a neverending source of outrage and drama and exactly the reason people love football. It makes it a human thing. The cynic would say that it provides emotionally crippled men with an outlet for showing their emotions.
