FUTBOL QUESTION

#1

seankuku

if a team is up by a goal and have possession, can't they just keep passing to each other without trying to score since there isn't a shot clock like nba i assume

dont u think golden goal would be 10x better than penalty shootout

because you have no one to use the ball with? that would make sense.

There's only so many sideways or backwards passes that a player can do, against a high pressing team, before putting their own teammates in trouble.

Many teams have tried to just 'keep the ball for the rest of the match' and almost all of them have failed.

I get you don't really play football

Golden Goal was a better rule maybe for the entertainment factor, but it was definitely less equitable. For the purpose of increasing competitive integrity, 30min + Penalty AET is a better model. (hence why it got switched from the golden goal rule back in the 90s)

unrelated but I think that soccer should steal basketball's scoring system

outside of the penalty box = 3 points
inside of the penalty box = 2 points
penalty kick = 1 point but you take 2

would make the game more interesting imo

meta would no longer be get into the box and try to force a penalty

realistically this would be pointless

it would definitely not be pointless

one could argue that it would make soccer worse (i've played the game a lot but i'm not an expert so idk exactly the implications this change would have)

however it would definitely shift how the game is playe

In such a low scoring game where many different systems, formations and patterns are used to break down the oppositions defences adding in incentives to force even more long range low percentage shots by changing the scoring system would ruin the game. I think it would change the way the game is played but not as much as you would think

It doesn't need to get any more interesting. It's already the most interesting sport itw by a huge margin

I agree that soccer is very interesting however games that are tied 1-1 bc of a penalty shot or something are pretty boring

Not that I just think that the quality of goals should matter

a single penalty shot being worth the same amount as an insane long range strike is a little frustrating to me

my changes could be the exact same thing just 1, 0.5, and 0.25 and I wouldn't really care, I just didn't want to include decimals

True but i prefer penalty shootout rather than golden goal just for fun and ecstacy

Most possesion driven teams defend themselves by having possesion of the ball for as much time as possible, as it tires out opposition while also looking for gaps in the defence but all your players have to be world class in passing, in field vision and have nerves of steel when they have the ball otherwise its pretty easy to lose it against a good pressing.
