Opinions on this hack new rules?

Rather than burdening players with an additional 30 minutes of action when cup games are level after 90 minutes, Van Basten is suggesting going straight to penalties.

"I think everybody is pretty tired after 120 minutes," Van Basten said.

Now penalties are a test of nerves with players having one chance to beat the goalkeeper from the penalty spot.

"Maybe the player should start 25 meters from goal and then you can dribble the goalkeeper or shoot early," he said. "But you have to make a goal within eight seconds. It's more skill and less luck. It's maybe a bit more spectacular. It's more football but it's still nervous for the player."

NO OFFSIDE

Scrapping the offside rule could make soccer more visually appealing, Van Basten advises.

"I think it can be very interesting watching a game without offside," he said. "Football now is already looking a lot like handball with nine or ten defenders in front of the goal. It's difficult for the opposition to score a goal as it's very difficult to create something in the small pieces of space they give you.

"So if you play without offside you get more possibilities to score a goal."

he should stop playing fifa

FOUR QUARTERS

Soccer is increasingly intense and grueling, with a single 15-minute break between 45-minute halves.

"We are trying to help the game, to let the game develop in a good way," Van Basten said. "We want to have a game which is honest, which is dynamic, a nice spectacle so we should try to do everything to help that process."

Introducing four quarters could be advantageous.

"The coach can have three times with his players during the game," Van Basten said.

these rules would unironically make soccer better. also retroactive suspensions for diving

SINBINS

Now there is no middle ground between players being shown a yellow card and receiving a red card and then being removed for the rest of the game.

"Maybe an orange card could be shown that sees a player go out of the game for 10 minutes for incidents that are not heavy enough for a red card," Van Basten said.

Such an instance could be when a player commits repeat fouls that didn't warrant yellow cards or obstruct opponents. Five misdemeanors could earn a player a place in a sin bin for 10 minutes, Van Basten said.

NEXT STEPS

Any changes to the laws of the game cannot be forced through by Van Basten, however close he is to FIFA President Gianni Infantino. He said he wants to listen to the views of world before any proposals are taken to the game's law-making body, The International Football Association Board. FIFA controls half of the eight votes on IFAB, with the other four retained by the British associations.

>Still only one ball

I love him as a footballer but Van Basten has the dumbest meme tier ideas.

epic. let's also dig a tunnel underneath the pitch with two entrances right before the penalty boxes of each goal. then we fill the tunnel with water. players can then chose to take the ball with their hands and dive with it through the tunnel. they can emerge and throw the ball into the goal.
