What if… one seriously dealt with the aspect of “suspense”? Dealing with who is actually watching football and how this huge business is actually kept going and what the viewer who is still responsible for it has to “cope with” or maybe what still gives him pleasure in it, eventually leads to this question: does…
What if… one would play the goal stop game with a commentator? And what would come out of it? Torstopp – yes, I remember that. Do you? You see a scene in its creation, you see the finish, you see the ball flying and the goalkeeper diving. But then: Film break. A provoked film break.…
What if… you double-attach a game delay? One of the worst bad habits that has crept in is playing time. Especially since the timing of the same is being shifted further and further forward. If a spokesman used to say that “you can’t play for time yet?”, that may still have been partly true —…
What if… one would put a German reportage through its paces? The heart, that would be roughly comparable with the content or perhaps the truth of statements made. The kidneys, as a vital organ, could reflect the entertainment value. Whereby one could then still test the liver, the stomach, the blood values, the brain on…

Xxx World Cup 1994; change of tendency; three-point rule; perspective players, coaches, media, spectators; referee decisions are clammy, then no more? xxx Proving that it would be an “improvement” for soccer is not even such an easy task. First of all, because one would have to define…
What if… there were two points for a win? That would really be a revolution. Suddenly two points instead of three for a win? “That’s never happened before! That’s really nonsense! What is this proposal? You get three points for a win. It’s been like that forever. If you want to keep nagging forever, pick…
What if… there was an alternative penalty to the penalty? All of the problem areas addressed in the overall text are, of course, intertwined. For example, the problem with giving a penalty is closely related to, among other things, the total number of goals. If one might again cite the example of handball: it may…
What if… there would be a penalty for handball in the penalty area? An attempt at a cautious approach to the problem: “If there is a handball in the penalty area, there will be a penalty kick? “Yes, sure, yes, once in a while, sure, according to the rules, too, but in practice?” So about…
