Sports / Fifa Fi've Craziest Five Rule Changes by Hardexx(m): 4:06pm On Jan 18, 2017 |
NO OFFSIDE, NO
YELLOW CARDS AND
THE FIVE CRAZIEST
POTENTIAL FIFA RULE
CHANGES
After the expansion of the
World Cup to 48 teams was
confirmed, FIFA's director
Marco van Basten has
revealed many more
potential changes to come
As a perennially evolving game,
big changes are always occurring,
and while some of those
alterations help make the game
more entertaining or ensure it
remains healthy, many of them
prove controversial with the
spectators of the game and split
opinion.
FIFA’s decision to expand the
World Cup to 48 teams is one of
the most contentious and
significant adjustments to have hit
the game for a while, but it seems
there are even more to come!
While the game’s flagship
international tournament is set for
an overhaul, FIFA’s chief officer for
technical development, Marco van
Basten, has said the way the sport
itself is played could be altered
too.
Diego Costa a target for Atletico,
but Barca won't make a move
The former striker has revealed a
list of rule changes that FIFA is
considering introducing in the
build up to the 2026 World Cup,
which will be the first tournament
to hold 48 teams and 16 groups of
three.
The 10 proposed changes that Van
Basten described to SportBild
offer food for thought and could
prove effective, while some others
just seem crazy.
Here are five of the latter…
ABOLISHING
OFFSIDE
One of the most interesting
suggestions Van Basten
mentioned is getting rid of the
offside rule. The former Ajax and
AC Milan star believes the game
will be much more entertaining if
it was scrapped as it would allow
teams to create better chances,
using free-kicks as an example.
“I am very curious as to how
football would work without
offside,” he said. “I fear many
people will be against it. I would
be in favour of it, because football
is increasingly resembling
handball: Nine players plus
goalkeeper make the penalty area
dense, which is like a wall. It is
very difficult to get through. All
teams rely on the same effective
tactics: forming a stable defense.
“Without offside, the strikers could
be behind the defenders, which
would be much more difficult. If
they move far back in front of their
goal, the attacker will have more
opportunities for distance shots.
This would make the game more
attractive, the attackers would
have better chances, more goals
would be scored. That's what the
fans want to see. In field hockey,
the offside has been abolished,
and there are no problems. The
teams would also adapt in
football.”
TAKE-ONS INSTEAD
OF PENALTIES
An interesting idea put forward is
that of replacing extra time and
penalties with a kind of take-on
challenge. Instead of hitting shots
at the keeper from inside the box,
players will be given the ball 25
metres from goal and given eight
seconds to score. The goalkeeper
has to stay inside the box and
once he stops a shot, it’s over.
Each team gets five attempts.
“This is spectacular for the viewers
and interesting for the player,”
Van Basten said. “With this idea,
he has more possibilities: he can
dribble, shoot, wait, and the
goalkeeper responds - this is
more like a typical playing
situation.”
NO YELLOW CARDS
Instead of giving a player a
booking for a foul, he will be
made to sit on the sidelines for a
period of time. As the most
frequently booked teams in the
Premier League, the likes of
Watford, West Ham, Crystal Palace
and Manchester United will be
sweating over this one.
“That frightens players,” was Van
Basten’s reason for supporting
the proposal. “It is more difficult
with 10 against 11, let alone with
eight or nine."
EFFECTIVE PLAYING
TIME
It’s time to make the last 10
minutes of matches entertaining
again! FIFA wants to find a way to
stop teams from time wasting or
slowing down games in order to
protect a lead. The suggestion is
that from the 80th minute
onwards, the ball cannot be
stationary for more than 10
seconds. This would nullify the
problem caused by teams taking
too long to make substitutions or
delaying free-kicks in order to hold
onto an advantage.
Man City ready to bid for Oblak
“The spectators want to see
action, goals and two teams
fighting. The longer a substitution,
the execution of a free kick or the
treatment of an injured player, the
more play time is lost.
PLAY
/
“We must be careful about this…
when a team scores just before
the end of the game, they do
everything they can to make time,
for example through
substitutions.”
MAXIMUM FOULS
Van Basten likes the idea of giving
players a maximum number of
fouls they are allowed to make in
a game. If they break that, they
have to leave the field. Having
made 44 fouls this season, Paul
Pogba will be hoping the plan
never comes to fruition.
"I've had the idea that a defender,
like in basketball, can only make
five fouls and then he has to leave
the field." |
