Excellent idea, maybe they could play it indoors on a smaller pitch, with
boards around the edge to stop the ball going out of play. This could catch
on!

Maybe make the nets smaller and have them hung from the wall in a hoop, with
the players throwing the ball through the hope rather than kicking and to
make it real real real exciting they would score a goal more or less every
15 seconds.

To add freakiness to proceedings nobody under say 8ft tall can play.

Listen laddie, the whole world plays the game how *we* all like it and
we do not need some yank telling us how to iprove it. Capice?

The Yanks only pay polite attention to the game once every four years.
Three or four guys playing offense against eleven guys playing defense is
not exactly our idea of a sport and nil-nil is not really our idea of a
result. The rest of the world considers American football to be deranged
and Americans consider football to be pointless. That way everyone is
happy.

Formula One is no better. It is the only form of auto racing that does not
allow for passing on the track. The world can keep both of them.

The most important thing in spectator sports is the lead change. Or at
least the likelihood of a lead change. Neither football nor Formula One
offer much of that. They are each like going to a restaurant and reading
the menu but not being allowed to order.
