I’ve been watching a lot of Football.  The kind where you kick the ball.  What Americans call Soccer.  And I have a couple of ideas for the game. Typical American right.

Off Sides!

The first is for ESPN TV to put a moving line on the field that would show off sides in real time.  The technology already exists in US Football to indicate where the first down line is.

England ready to shoot high.

Stress Test

The second is a training exercise.  More than half of the shots on goal that we have seen during the World Cup Finals have missed high.  Sometimes very high.  The consensus opinion is that soccer players adrenalin goes up as they approach the goal in these high stress moments and they put to much power on the ball.  They need to be training under stress more.  How about doing awful things to them if they miss during practice.  Maybe water boarding or abhorrent sex acts.  This would give them real experience with shooting under stress and perhaps improve their chances of hitting the goal.  If nothing else it would create the footage for an excellent Reality TV Show

I’m just trying to help. My excellent link proving:

Soccer IS Life
