>severely nerf penalty awarding decisions
>regular penalty only given for fouls committed during a concrete goal-scoring situation
>free kick inside the box for every other situation
this would eliminate the following problems
>reckless cunt diving
>preventing penalties from being as game chaning as they are right now
>forcing the attacking team to not rely on penalty awards as they do right now - the penalty rule was first introduced to prevent the defending team from literally not letting you play; now it's mainly used and abused to bait for easy goals
>allow the defenders to defend more freely without worrying about being tricked by a diving cunt
>the referee's inherent panic of giving away a penalty for literally nothing - he now has the rules on his side
Keepers shouldn't be sent off for fouling in a 1 on 1 unless exceptionally reckless. It's too abusable and the other team get punished twice.
ban men from playing it; it's a women's sport.
Standardize the name of the sport as soccer
I'm not going to lie before /sp/ I had no idea who messi or ronaldo were.
When first introduced to them I figured ronaldo was an arrogant jerk and messi was a nice guy everyman
Now I have realized Ronaldo is a generally nice guy who'd give you the shirt off his back and messi is a douche and little shit
I can't believe how wrong I was
Ronaldo is Peyton
Messi is Brady
rapenaldo and tax-avoidanssi are both scumbags
messi has the manlet rage

According to them these teams have different owners. That's the loophole they found so both teams can play in the CL.
How do we fix this shit???

Yes - the money they get from scamming big-money teams with les noirs paceés should be used to upgrade training facilities, developing local talent, and preventing Arabs from running people over with trucks by teaching them to play football instead.
Tottenham should probably try to win this if they want to keep their hopes of winning the Premier League alive.
This shit starts in like, 12 hours and 30 minutes. Let's discuss.

>For more than a generation, Deford has been a weekly fixture on NPR’s Morning Edition, offering his unique take on the comings and goings of the sports world. But on Wednesday, Deford delivered his final Sweetness And Light segment for the network, bowing out with the same verbal gymnastics he has employed on air for the past 37 years.
>“I have survived so long because I've been blessed with talented and gracious colleagues, and with a top brass who let me choose my topics every week and then allowed me to express opinions that were not always popular,” Deford said. “Well, someone had to stand up to the yakety-yak soccer cult.”
>“Our fans for football, basketball and hockey have fantasy leagues,” Deford said. “The fantasy for our soccer fans is that Major League Soccer will somehow become major league, because that's all that exceptional Americans are bred to expect.”
>"It is not only that soccer lacks scoring, either. It also has no small victories, no cumulative successes. Baseball teams build rallies. Football teams drive down the field, even if they have to settle for a field goal. Soccer is the coitus interruptus of sport."

That was from an article in 2001 he wrote a long time ago and I remember reading it as a kid and at the time it was the best argument I heard why soccer is shit and doesn't work here
>Desperately, soccer smug-nuts always fall back on accusing us American yahoos of failing to appreciate the grace and nuance of their superior game. First of all, any sport in which you hit a hard ball with your head is, ipso facto, neither graceful nor nuanced.
Also a sport that forbids the use of the most coordinated part of your body, being called graceful. lol

>Also a sport that forbids the use of the most coordinated part of your body, being called graceful. lol
that's why it's graceful. Aesthetic is inherently linked to function, subconsciously or not. Are you going to argue that throwing a ball into the goal with your hands rather than accurately kicking it in is more impressive? Or that steering it out of the way of one or two defenders using your feet while keeping possession is not a great feat? It's difficult to control the ball without using your hands in the context of a football match and that's why it's graceful when they do.
Handegg tactics are literally what happens during a corner kick or throwin in football
The chief reason soccer will never catch on here is that it lacks scoring variation; in all of the other popular sports here, looser play can score you more points at once, so if you're down by a lot, it's more manageable.
In soccer, on the other hand, you have to score one goal at a time.
realistically can anyone stop us from winning a treble next year?

Do you want to be relegated mate?
Besides United will be embaressed next season as Mansour has promised Guardiola phase 2 of his team overhaul with 5/6 signings, doubt Mourinho will get more than 1 or 2.
