Get FIFA to adopt this rule and Canada might be on the way to World Cup glory.

I know this isn't the point, but if you're coaching a team that is
losing by five goals, you could just tell your players to score an own
goal!

If that isn't enough ridicule to inject the league some sense, I don't
know what else is...

If you can't score on the other team, you can't beat them to score own
goals either :-)

It's stupid in more ways than it seems.

I have very clear memories of playing in teams able to overcome more
than 10 goals deficits plenty of times as a kid, or to actually
concede more than 10 goals on a row.

I have actually a precise memory of a game where we cruised from 1-18
to victory, and I am pretty sure I have played in much more extreme
cases.
