I think football should be reformed. Make the playing field 10% smaller and make the goal larger, like 30 ft. between goal posts and 10 feet and the crossbar 12 ft above ground. Have only one referee, or no referee at all. Have at least 7 substitutions, to have more injuries from tackles. Have a wall and a firing squad ready for unscrupulous defenders who never play the ball and for attackers who feign a lesion. Also, matches should not be 90 minutes, but without time limit, until one team scores 10 goals. Then it would be a real show.
Rumor has it the abundant insulation found in data centers is delectable!
Aha! Now I understand why these ball games are so popular. Well done, Rat!
Gooooooall!!!! Rat scores
De Beers makes the balls and Cecil Rhodes autographed ones are Championship games only.
This sport used to be much better entertainment before those damned Italian freaks invented the concept of "defense".
Also, goalkeepers used to not wear gloves, as if they were real men.

Methinks simply getting rid of the offside rule and instead introducing a backcourt rule like in basketball would already do a lot.
I was thinking "what if Martin Scorsese was hired to rewrite the rules of competitive soccer?"
I hope you can still enjoy the game, because, you know, Climate Change™…
