All those regulatory reforms that make a game that is already the most popular in the world even more attractive and agile will always be well received. Although it is not an obligation to be approved.
Over the weekend, FIFA and Ifab, the arbitration body in London, will raise and discuss some possible reforms. The two that occupy the most attention have to do with actual playing time and offside.
As for the former, they want playtime to be timed, really. That for every interruption the clock stops. Today there is the time that is added, but perhaps more strictness from the referee is needed in many cases. While the general call is for all practices that lead to deliberate loss of time to be eliminated or reduced, the proposal could have side effects: sports, television and interest from the new generation of fans who prefer less competitive leagues.
With adequate training in player training and a real exercise of umpire authority added to the coaches’ gallantry and dedication to the show, perhaps it would not be necessary to resort to this reform. For my part, I’m not very skilled at this, but we’ll see. The one I totally agree with is the one that is suggested for offside, which would be when a small part of the body that can score a goal is in line with the penultimate defender, as well as the rest of the body to is moved forward, the continuation of the game is validated.
That the insensitive and clean lines of the VAR, which today nullify goals by millimeters, now favor the emotion of the goal. And so for football.
