The first round of fixtures were fairly upbeat, but since then it has been awful. I have long complained that modern football is too dull. It is relatively easy for very sub standard teams to stifle strong teams. Need to tweak the games rules I think. These need more goals. It is just awful. |  | | |  |

This new rule would trouble England but once over the halfway line when attacking, you cannot pass the ball back into your own half. |
Like that a lot. |  | | |

It makes no difference where you draw the line, people will still believe it's a farce when there is only 1mm of daylight between the defender and attacker. The semi-automated offside system utilised in the Euro's seems quick and accurate which means it's very effective. No more waiting 2-3 minutes whilst someone decides when the ball was kicked and then has to draw lines manually. The sooner the PL adopts this system the better I say. |
I agree with your sentiment and conclusion, however I think that the offside rule shouldn't exist to penalise attackers for such small margins and therefore some benefit of the doubt should exist within the rules/tech. I'm aware that this just moves the cliff-edge by a few inches but in my mind it is more in the spirit of the principle of offside.
My dream scenario is VAR is scrapped completely, but I think the cat is too far out of the bag on that one. |  | | |

UEFA’s fault for watering it down with more teams 💵
Entirely predictably, you’ve now got about 8-10 teams whose only ambition is ‘participation’. We’ve filled it out with international Norwich’s who just turn up and low block so they don’t get smashed.
Wait till UEFA realise expanding to 32 to teams will make even MORE money so we end up with Gibraltar and Andorra qualifying… |
Get rid of qualification altogether. 53 teams played in the qualifying stage. Waste of time. Disruptive to the season.
Start the tournament with the 2 worst ranked teams fighting it out for a place in the group stages.
14 groups * 4 teams. Top 2 qualify + 4 best 3rd placed teams. Then straight knockout.
Or straight knockout competition, 21 byes. No seeding, all random, like the FA Cup. |  |
