A more recent change to help speed-up the game is to do with substitutions. Players originally had to come off at the halfway line on the same side as the substitute was coming on. Presumably this was to stop teams simply subbing a player on without one potentially coming off. Meaning that the team that […]
FIFA as well as its associations have already tried to reduce the time lost to stoppages in play. For example the multi ball system is used in several UEFA competitions as well as the World cup and even our own Hyundai A-League. Traditionally football is only played with one ball, if it goes out the […]
FIFA has guidelines as to how long each stoppage in play should occur for. Added time is currently calculated like this. If it takes 30 seconds for a goal kick to be taken but the keeper takes a minute only 30 of those seconds are considered unnatural and are added onto stoppage time. So, they […]
Football is boring, at least it can be. Some people find it boring because there are not any big hits or massive points tallies, that’s never going to change. People get injured enough playing football without being more lenient on shoulder to shoulder challenges. That’s something that in my opinion we cannot change. What we […]
Football has in game rules to help speed up the flow of the game. There is a rule although it is widely not enforced that goalkeepers are only allowed to have the ball in their hands for 6 seconds after catching or gathering the ball. This rule was brought in to stop goalkeepers at […]
I have always been brought up this way. You concede a corner, one of the first things you do is get one person on far post and one person on near post. Usually your two smallest players or your left and right back. For those who know me this is always and forever will be […]
We have talked about the what? and the potential why? Now let’s talk about the when where and the who. All these things influence what happens in a match and may directly impact what happens at a corner. It would be interesting to follow a team’s defensive structure at corners throughout a game and if […]
There are of course many reasons as to why this may be the case. Coaches may see two players not marking anyone as a waste of on field resources and may position them elsewhere. Some teams set up with 2 players in line with the posts but on the edge of the 6 yard line. […]

I heard this mentioned the other day and I figured I would throw my terry two cents worth on the internet for everyone to see. Football is currently a sport of two halves of 45 minutes each + stoppage time (time added on for stoppages in play). Personally, I do not think this will happen, […]
