The goal size is fine. It didn't worry Germany when they beat Saudi Arabia 8 - 0 in the earlier rounds and remember Australia's record breaking scores against Pacific nations in the qualifying rounds?


Then again maybe we should think about increasing the goal. How about the width of the pitch and 10 metres high? We could have scorelines of 79 - 74. The goalkeepers can just shoot for goal when kicking in. Midfielders can shoot immediately upon kick off.

And consider some of these....

*Basketball rings could be 5 metres across.
*Holes in golf made bucket sized.
*Use 6 cricket stumps and make them twice the height.
*Get rid of the behind posts in AFL - everything scores 10 points.

Seriously, the historical rules that games are played by are what make our sports so interesting and at times dramatic and exciting to watch. Sure, there are some things that need minor alterations but generally speaking the little anomalies in the rules make the sport what it is.
