True, but they are enforced very unconsistantly.

Min 30 minutes of game.
Larger goal door.
More player can be substitute.
A substitution is not definitive.

This just favours teams with depth in their squads and will only widen
the gulf between big and small clubs.

According to the creation myth of Australian Rules football, the first game had a rule that the first team to score two
goals would win. The match lasted three afternoons and ended in a draw after only one goal had been scored.

What about making the field smaller by say 10yds to 20yds in length
maybe more might even smaller number of players. If anything watching
indoor, beach, or the smaller versions of the game we see more shots,
more goals, more action. With a 80yd pitch you'd still be far enough
that a shot from midfield is still kinda far to be taking but the
transition from offense to defense would be much faster.

And play 9v9 so you could play say 3-3-2 or 3-4-1 etc.
