Not really sure, more time pass and more I loss interest in football, so my proposition probably gonna be shit, but i'm sure some people can find better idea :
- Since goalkeeper have become more tall, maybe make the goal bigger
- Penalty area smaller
- Allowing only 4/5 player in a zone close from the goalkeeper to force team to not pack in front of their own team
Maybe try to think out of the box to solve offside issue, (also really hard) :
- Putting led on player that will shine when they are offside, so the attacker will know every time when he is good or not,
- Giving a margins of 10cm where he is not offside (Probably useless if you dont use put LED)
- Adding a line where while you didn't have pass this line, the offside rule dont count
Also, top 3 among 4 team qualify is a nonsense (4/6 3rd qualified it's so weird), to me it could be interesting to have 3 pool of 8 team, with a doble (or triple) bracket system to emulate a swiss round (but materialised with a brackets to make it easier to follow). After 3 round you have :
- 3 Team in 3-0 (The 3 teams are qualified for quarterfinal)
- 9 teams in 2-1 (9 teams fight in a play-in game for the 5 remaining places, you can qualify directly the best one, or let play the best team in 1-2 with the 9 other)
- 9 teams in 1-2
- 3 teams in 0-3
So we keep 7 round maximum, and every group stage game matter
