I feel, like with hockey, having important/elimination games decided at full strength would be best for soccer. I know fatigue is a huge issue at the end of games and they can’t just play indefinitely, though.
But maybe make it a half-field game after regulation (and maybe one extra 15-minute traditional period). At that point, let a team offensively attack for 5 minutes from midfield. If the defense clears it out past midfield then the attacking team resets and starts again. Then the other team gets 5 minutes of attack. Keep going until you have a winner. That would mitigate the fatigue factor of playing a full-field game at that point, but allow for aggressive, risk-taking offensive play at full strength (without the fear of giving up a chance the other way) that would closely resemble normal play. |

Simple option: Rochambeau best two out of three at the end of regulation. Entertaining option: switch from soccer to rugby rules, sudden death. Last edited by Casey2296; 12-10-2022 at 03:22 PM. |

I knew there had to be a bad side to the coin- France advances. Please,
please- ANY of the remaining 3 for the title! Tight games today. Trent King |

I know Trent is not a big Ronaldo fan but I don't think it was very smart not playing him until the 55th minute or whatever it was.

Hi Peter- I know you're just having fun, but you may have a point. Portugal
had been fine without him, just ran into a surprisingly tenacious Morocco team today. Maybe Ronaldo could have provided a spark- despite all his character flaws (on and off the pitch), he's not a typical Portugal player who looks for grass to fall on Maybe he could have added spark. Problem is he's made his own bed, and teams (not just his national side) have decided his talent no longer merits the bucket full of headache that goes with him. Trent King |

Peter- yep, I get it. You can say the same for Brazil though- did you see the
firepower on their bench? These managers have to balance what they think will work best and, until Port ran into a staunch Morocco, it held up. Can't wait for semis! Trent King |
