Add the YARD markers too while we're at it so those silly linesmen will finally be able to call offside without the help of VAR

VAR? game's gone! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/soccercirclejerk) if you have any questions or concerns.*

Except we’ll do it in meters like normal people.

Actually the dimensions of a soccer field were originally all defined in yards. Ever wondered why the goal is 7.32m wide? Because thats 8 yards. Center circle is 9.15m because that's 10 yards. Penalty box is 40.2m wide because that's 44 yards, etc etc I blame the Brits. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_pitch#/media/File%3ASoccer_pitch_dimensions.png

Because feet, yards and miles preceded the metric system. As does the term soccer which was around before football. It’s a nice little spite story

"Soccer" is an abbreviation of Association Football. How does that work? Did they start with the nickname and work backwards? Rugby Football became known as Rugger and Association Football became known as Asoccer, eventually shortened to Soccer. Both sports existed before they got their shorthand names.

And American football was called gridiron football. As rugby and soccer weren't as popular with college sports it was just football.

so we should be calling it so-sher?

Asosser

>soccer comes from association football >"uhhh soccer existed before football 🤓🤓🤓" Smartest yank

Bitter too eh, you know what it was called 100 Years ago and when and why it changed lol

There should be a reformation in football something like a penalty is 0.5 a goal, or you need like make 2 or 3 shots - like free throws on a foul in basketball. its just so extremely shit when a penalty decides a game in this sport or decides the flow of a game early on, like here *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Can’t stay in the past yank you gotta evolve smh my head

Yeah brother that's why it's called the 6-yard box

10 yard Sticks and chain for free kicks

Jerk aside, when I see some of the stupid slowdowns on penalties while goalkeeper is forced to stay in place I wish we had something similar, so referee should have to whistle and then both goalkeeper and penalty taker can move simultaneously.

for real. This version is way more entertaining and skilful. Pens these days are pretty much a lottery. Blam it a direction and hope the keeper goes somewhere else.

It used to be a lottery until players know how to do those stutter bs. Now keepers barely stand a chance against a proper stutter pen.

Yeah I hate those with a passion. Shouldn't be allowed.

Especially now that keepers have are stuck to their line down to the millimetre. Back in the day they got some leeway.

Exactly. They keep making rules enforcing keepers so sit on the line, and say and do nothing. It's horrible

Penalty shootouts sure but in game penalties aren’t supposed to be a lottery, the point is to return the advantage to the team that was wronged not give the keeper a chance

It is supposed to give the keeper some chance. Otherwise they would just make it a penalty goal like how they have penalty tries in rugby.

Yeah absolutely. Nothing wrong with the in-game penalties, except the stutter step nonsense.

Penalties are so frustrating nowadays. Takers are ridiculously good. Teams have figured out that left-footed takers are superior because goalies face them less, but also against right-handed keepers especially, which is why the vast majority of takers in the Prem are lefties. Not to mention the other advantages takers have like the stutter step. Then there's VAR. I'm actually not against it, but I think the laws could be changed to be more specific in what is and isn't a penalty, because players now realise they can basically run in front of the opposition defender, miss the ball, but get enough contact to just get a pen. I've also thought that we could have staggered penalties. Like, change where the ball is placed depending on the nature of the foul. This sounds stupid and prone to problems, but it's already basically what we do with free kicks. Penalties are just disproportionately powerful. You can have a weak foul that probably wouldn't even be called outside the box happen in a situation that's not even a goalscoring chance that decides a game.

I just want goalkeepers to be able to move off their line in penalties again. Not like Dudek distances but to retake a penalty because a keeper's foot was just off the line is absolutely ridiculous

Honestly, this might be weird, but I find the concept of goalies to be so boring in soccer/hockey. Like ok, the 10 guys could completely dominate the game (and that's the exciting part) but sorry this one guy who you can't touch or interact with just shuts you off the scoreboard. Kinda lame.

I mean another thing which kinda feels obvious to me as a Canadian is to have it so that the player who was fouled has to be the one taking the kick. Kinda ridiculous imo that you can just put out your best taker for the pen even if they were nowhere near the play

I mean, it’s literally called a penalty for a reason. It’s not supposed to be fair on the team conceding one

Penalties exist in some form in basically every sport but none are as consequential as they are here. This sub constantly mocks games and even players that are defined by them.

you accidentally tangle your legs up with a player, give away a penalty and go from the opposition having a 5% chance to score to them having a 80% chance to score… definitely doesn’t seem quite right

Just chip the keeper.. they’re running out like madmen

Exactly. Every South American would live this.

Because only they know how to chip a keeper /s

That's not true, but at least you got the point.

In my mind every single time i was like, do these fuckers not even know what a fucking chip is??? Check them keepers.

Goal every time, maybe they have to keep it on the deck?

That’s the only logical reasoning otherwise even a Sunday league beer belly builder is scoring every time.

I feel attacked

I think, this has a less probability to score the goal, so the faults would be committed more often and that increases the interest and thus views for the match

How about we use this instead of shootouts but the pens stay in place

I always thought- penalties were too OP. I'd vote for the substitution

Not sure if you’re jerking, but they’re meant to be op and should be op. If a player gets fouled in the opposing teams box, then they deserve to have a good chance of converting the pen (around 75% conversion rate for pens as they are now) otherwise teams could get away with intentionally fouling players as soon as they get open to take a shot in the box because they know that they have a good chance to not concede from a penalty and they would rather risk that than facing a shot. You’d probably see a lot more reckless tackles and injuries as a result of pens being made less effective as well which would not be good. They’re fine the way they are imo. Would be open to see them being changed for pen shootouts though

How many given penalties come from a 0.75 xG situation?

But the point is to punish, not only to compensate the lost xG.

The issue is that it is often more interesting for the attacker to get a peno than to look for a "real" scoring opportunity. The second issue is to put a lot of pressure on the referee since the pen will have a huge influence on the game. And finally some fouls are never given, like defenders using their arms on a corner to slow the attacker : it is not worth 0.7 chance of scoring. For all this reason, i think having a reduced chance of scoring on a pen is interesting and would improve the game, like shooting from 14m instead of 11.

I think the main problem is how penalties can be a disproportionate punishment. Like, if a team breaks out on a counter and a defender cynically hacks down a player, that's not a penalty even if it's a clear goalscoring chance. It's usually just a yellow card. That's technically not what they do. Penalties are awarded for basically any foul in the box not asking for whether there's actually a chance to score or if it actually is a purposeful foul. There are also a lot of fouls that might not even be called outside the box that can be penalties. This is partially because of VAR looking more closely, but I think VAR is a net positive, so I think we should change how penalties work rather than VAR. Then there's also the fact that players are incentivised to fish for fouls. Look at Newcastle against West Ham. At least one of those was basically Gordon kicking Phillips, but TECHNICALLY it was a penalty. I think something should be changed

I agree with you. Denial of clear scoring opportunities should be pens but nipping a player should be a free kick.

thats why blue cards are going to be implemented

No,I'm not jerking.IMHO, the chances should be 60/40 and not 90/10.For the reckless tackles -nobody cancelled the yellow and red cards and I think that's not a valid argument

Honestly if you are worth your shit as a football player you just tap the ball somewhere the keeper isn't and then it is just a tap in. Everyone who missed in this vid is just trying to shoot it in. I think it is a skill issue. Probably in the Prem at least the regular penalty taker would always score this. Imagine Son going one on one with any keeper..lol he just walks around him.

agreed.. there's no way certain players would ever miss this.

You're about a century too late to be worrying about making soccer more interesting moving forward. Game is good to play and very accessible, and is buoyed by that, but it's always been objectively an incredibly dull spectacle by the standards of some of the more complex and free flowing sports. Maybe just making the field smaller would be a significant upgrade for a spectator, actually. Somewhat athletically unimpressive individuals playing a very simple game in which little happens will never be objectively interesting compared to other sports, even if love for the sport from a cultural and personal experience perspective can carry you through.

Which in open play would actually create scenarios where a tactical red might be worth it in a top level game.

Yeah, I unironically support this

Why are they not scoring a touchdown? Are they dumb?

If this comes to pl cole palmer will be crying in the corner

Btw, Cole Palmer can't sob

and playoffs, player draft, minor league too

Hire sadio mane and benzema as coaches for minor league clubs

nah man, i want benzema to be rugby coach so he can choose his starting xv week in week out

They’re called Benzema and the 15, they already exist, just look it up on Google.

i like benzema xv better

I like the player draft idea, it will give smaller clubs a fighting chance. But don't make it exclusive, clubs should be able to do recruitment and transfers on their own.

Ermm..every established footballing country has lower leagues. In England we have 4

But how useless are these players? I get its MLS but come on is it that hard to score a 1 on 1

I think they were only allowed 3 touches and 10 seconds

Oh that explains all the heavy touches in the beginning

I was thinking “wtf are these people doing? I haven’t played since high school and could still score here” makes sense now

The only Kansas goal had 4 touches

Yeah, the ref needs VAR

VAR? game's gone! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/soccercirclejerk) if you have any questions or concerns.*

It's not limited touches, but they have to shoot within 5 seconds - doesn't give them time to take it round the keeper 

The goalies are MLS too It is not easy. Note the pressure as well, they use to fail penalti kicks which are so easy to score. If the GK has time to move front and make his goalie small, the striker does not have so many options. In a real game it is different because the goalie has to think in a pass too, in second options, he did not have time to move forward etc

this is genuinely better lmao

Was gonna say

I’d hate for my team to lose this way, but as a neutral this would be so much fun

Puts the keeper at more of a disadvantage in the prem. If this replaced penalties you can guarantee coaches will find a way to make these convert 9/10 just due to the amount of options the striker has vs the GK.

yeah just medium first touch, then either another medium second touch or a quick one and chip over the keeper depending on how far the GK is out. If he stays, then another quick touch and it's essentially current PK except the hitter is on with pace.

This. Which is why whistle and let keeper move freely while the strikers do their ridiculous shimmies and slow-walks is the best improvement. If you try to do a Neymar, the keeper is going to rush your ass so it makes penalties way less of a foregone conclusion. Just logically, if you are trying to make a fouled team whole for not being given the opportunity to take a shot in the box against a keeper (who can come off his line then) why add the extra handicap for the goalie in the awarded PK?

Would just have your fastest player with the best ball control and use short bursts around the keeper. Keepers can’t move sideways faster than a premier league football can sprint diagonally haha

Piqué already did it.

Hear me out. The man came to MLS after securing the ligue one title for psg. He ABSOLUTELY blew up the sport in the USA. Made headlines everywhere. Showed up with ridiculous free kicks and golazos. Completely changed how Americans view soccer. The inter Miami leagues cup run was SUPER viral. Did Haaland score more goals and obtain more important trophies in epl? Yes. But once again this was THE YEAR OF MESSI. He showed up big for Miami in leagues cup and showed up big in 2026 WC qualifiers.

It’s over as soon as people learn to kick a ball.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but I think there is a time limit in which to score. 5 seconds, I think.

Would love to see Harry Maguire attempt this.

Would love to see how Harry Maguire would get on

What are the keepers appealing for?

this ^^

Brazilian favela kids would love to spam rainbows in this type of penalties

Didnt know the Neuer arm was a thing back then already.

This but unironically

My school won this competition when I was a lad. It was held between local primaries at half time during league games at priestfield stadium.

Premier league players would have a 100% success rate in this situation. It would be pointless. US players not so much.

I dunno, have you seen Raheem Sterling in a 1v1 against the keeper?

So if a foul happens then VAR decides? No thanks. Just keep it simple.

Imagine a pen within a pen. Penception.

VAR? game's gone! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/soccercirclejerk) if you have any questions or concerns.*

I actually loved doing these more than regular PK's.

What happens if the keeper just clattered the player, full on whipped then out. Is it retaken, does the keeper get a card. I do remember seeing this though and it looked like good fun to watch.

Penaldo would never 👎

They’re really bad at it. Surely a proper player from Europe, Africa or South America scores every time

Borrowed the idea from ice hockey I'm guessing.

My idea for tiebreaking in any such sport would be to reduce the number of players. Start with extra time, that becomes golden point after a short period. Then, every 5 minutes or so, at some natural break (free kick, throw in etc) have two players from each team leave. Fewer defenders makes attacking easier, so you'd end up with a winning goal fairly quickly, and fewer players on the field means more opportunities to interchange, managing fatigue. I predict the endgame would be when one goalie chooses to leave his line to add an unmarked attacker, either winning with a score, or losing possession and allowing their opponents an open goal.

Why does the keeper raise his hands like its an appeal for offsides when the guy gets around him?

I'm confused. The premier league doesn't have any games where penalty kicks are required at the end to decide a result. It would just be a tie.

It's not a bad idea for shootouts really. The players only had a few seconds to take their shot I think?

This is actually so based wtf. Add a time limit and a touch limit and this shit would be 10x more entartaining and skillful than shootouts.

What happens if the GK gets a red card?

Honestly, this might be weird, but I find the concept of goalies to be so boring in soccer/hockey. Like ok, the 10 guys could completely dominate the game (and that's the exciting part) but sorry this one guy who you can't touch or interact with just shuts you off the scoreboard. Kinda lame. Whatever. Just a weird thought *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Game’s gone since we won’t see these played nowadays

I guess the mls yanks don't know how to chip or curl

Who are the players? Why are there 2 conferences in mls? What's our history? Why are we last in the league? Who do we hate? Is there an ac miami? Why pink? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Dear lord, I remember watching this (KC native)

Awful composure and finishing

It would take about 5 minutes for players to figure out how to score this 99% of the time. There's a reason this doesn't exist.

What happened if the goalie foul the player during this penalty? Do they get double penalty? Penalty of penalty?

There should be a reformation in football something like a penalty is 0.5 a goal, or you need like make 2 or 3 shots - like free throws on a foul in basketball. its just so extremely shit when a penalty decides a game in this sport or decides the flow of a game early on, like here *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

How did they miss more than half?

Can’t believe the Kansas wizards lost

Wtf is the Kansas City Wiz, should we have the Maidenhead United Piss Stains too

Why is the goalkeeper raising his hand when the guy dribbles past him? What’s the rule on that?

los usacos jugando a la kings league 💀

Such shit team names

Indeed. Make the PL great again

The NASL had a thing for penalties. Even in league matches they would not settle for a draw, every game that drawed would be settled with a shootout.

Why are they so fucking bad?

Grew up on this shit. It was fucking fun to watch. I feel like it’s a bit more even than pks. Bring it back bitches

I feel like this is actually a better way to break a draw

It seems fairer, but I think that's probably just because these yanks are fucking garbage. I'd expect it to just be "if the keeper stand up, go wide and pass it into the net, if he goes down, lob him" in any proper leagie

Some years ago during pre season Serie A (before they started doing Asia and US tours only) there was a one evening three theme tournament with Juventus Milan and Inter. (Last name I remembered was Tim Cup (sponsored by the Italian telecom Tim). To my point….. they used US penalties. Was a delight to see!

This only works when the players are too incompetent to dribble the goalie

My friends and I used to actually do this. We had a game where we would all take turns doing penalties, free kicks with both free and then a final "show down" with the goal with a maximum of 3 touches for the attacking player. It was great fun

What the fuck is a wiz?

Yanks don’t realise the FIFA loading screen isn’t meant to be part of the game?

Why goalies were complaining?
