Growing times...

These seem to be trying and growing times everywhere. Apparently soccer seems to have a recurring miracle: goals by hand in world cup related matches.

At least American football is willing to try things to make it fairer and more attractive to the public.

Remember when Brady was sacked by the Raiders? The head referee interpreted the rules in such a way that only him and his dog understand. Two years later that rule was modified to avoid another snow-gate.

They use play review in an official fashion.

But "soccer is different". Snake oil.

The same way FIFA changed the rules to make it more attacking minded when soccer's market share was shrinking against other major sports, this time FIFA should be more proactive.
