HMMM:
Marco van Basten's got some new ideas for football. What do you make of them? pic.twitter.com/MdLKVghbTC

In order:
- no offsides — LOL; let's not be stupid. This would literally destroy the game as we know it.
- orange cards & sin-bins — yes, though emphasis should really be on improving refereeing with tech first.
- no extra-time — meh, whatever.
- shootout early MLS-style — nah
- individual foul limit — no need (cards is a fine system)
- four quarters — no thanks
EL SHA!
