World Cup 2006

Football World Cup 2006 is almost over and is now down to the last two, meaning the FINALS. That is between Italy and France. I am sad my favorite team BRAZIL didn’t make it. They are the hot favorites at the start of this tournament. Anyway, so far it is a good tournament. Sadly also, I cannot enjoy it because I was not able to watch the game live.

As for this post, I would just like to make some suggestions regarding the format wherein after the game is tied even after the bonus 30 minutes each for both teams the game should be decided by penalty shoot outs. I wish they could come up with better way to break the tie. Penalty shootouts is very hard and cruel to both the teams (especially the players) and the fans.

I am thinking the following suggestions:

The first suggestion is to remove the goalkeeper. Allowing both teams to score as many points during regular play both without any goalkeeper.

The second is that each team will be given an advantage of 11-9 number of players at the first 2/3 part of the extra time in each half. The last 1/3 part (of each half) both teams can even the number of players. The idea is that to remove the disadvantage for the first team availing of the 11-9 ratio besides to allow the referee the same decisions in allowing extra minutes in the end for injury times as in the regular play.

As to future World Cups, I would like to suggest that those countries who until now have not have the chance to participate or make it to the World Cup finals be given the chance to have a tournament of their own. The Champion to be given the chance to play in the finals. This will be considered great by those countries wishing and dreaming of making it to the finals. This will revitalize the interest of other countries in football and encourage them to improve further their team and allow them the once in a lifetime chance of being in World Cup finals.

These are just some humble suggestions. I just really love sports.
