Ideas for making football more exciting like it used to be

Too many substitutes, an entire system can be changed right now and most of the subs are just used to waste time any way.

Let's have it back the way it was, the team you pick is generally the team you have to stick with.

Streakers.

I wish someone would tell Pep

Extra point for the most corners taken, it would encourage attacking, so you could even lose a game but gain a point.

Hahahah :)

I remember back in world cup 94 in the USA there was a serious suggestion that for soccer in the US they could make the goals significantly bigger. Like 4 or 5ft wider and taller. The idea being you would get maybe double the amount of goals and nil nil would be very rare.

Always thought that would be interesting.

Only 3 players allowed in a defensive wall and none of that lying on the ground behind the wall.

Get rid of the sweeper keeper(sorry Pep) - GK must remain in the 18 yard box. This would finally put an end to that high line shite and create far more space in midfield for the more creative teams.

Finally - make the goals bigger! A keeper over 6 ft used to be an exception - now they’re all giants! When football authorities first put crossbars on the posts in the 1870’s the goalies would have needed a ladder to reach it.

Referees sticking to the 6 second rule - including the time goalkeeper's take after catching the ball and dropping to the ground for ages as the seconds tick away.
Beyond 6 seconds it’s a corner.
Same with a throw in. 6 seconds and if not taken the other team take it.

Save walker throwing it to opposition in advanced positions

Stop all this tiki-taka shit. Any player making a pass that travels less than 10 yards gets a yellow card, and the opposition get a free kick.

The west ham keeper before game started kick the crossbar
