Blowing Up The World Cup And Its Rules
Without changing a thing, the face of the World Cup has already changed greatly for the near future. The award of Brazil is about as traditional as it can get, but Qatar in 2022 will see the first World Cup in the Middle East, in an Arab nation. So that’s a large change.
The rumblings of a potential winter World Cup would give it an odd feel.
And if they pass even a couple of the proposed rule changes by then, the sport could be near foreign.
They sort of tip-toe around these subjects constantly, so it’s not really breaking, pressing news, but their concession that technology may be necessary opens up a line of possibilities which now seem…possible. Reluctance to deviate from a traditional path isn’t really on order anymore.
There is a panel which will now look at a number of things, namely fixing the World Cup since South Africa’s on-pitch play was such an abomination.
Name: Task Force Football 2014.
This is your leader, people.
On the docket:
- Bringing back the Golden Goal.
- Changing the structure of awarding points in the group stage.
- A combination of the two.
Sepp:
“At the moment, three points are awarded for a win and one for a draw, which is something we can discuss and decide whether it’s a good thing or not,” he said.
“Is extra-time the only option we have when a game ends in a draw? And if we stick with extra-time, how should we end games? Is it worth taking another look at the golden goal? Some people like it, some people don’t. There are a lot of issues regarding tournaments we can look at and discuss.”
These things are neither new nor unfamiliar, but if FIFA’s willing to make such changes Cup-to-Cup,wholesale nfl jerseys, just imagine what the games might look like come 2022 in Qatar – in the winter. |
