You are FIFA president....

You have just have just taken over from numpty Sepp Blatter and you can make one change to the world of football in an attempt to improve the game. It can be a big change or something small. What would it be ?
MIne is related to cup knockout football and its quite simple. If any game goes to extra time you can bring on as many of your 7 subs as you like. Or if in a WC game any 7.
Think this would freshen up many a dull extra time.
Go for it chaps. Try make them sensible.

Limit the number of foreign players in every team, ie non-british.
Use the sin bin instead of yellow cards.
Clocks in every ground which are stopped when injuries are being attended too so that every person in the ground knows exactly when each half will finish and not have to rely on a ref to pick as he pleases.

Play would not stop for substitutions. The sub would not be allowed on the pitch until the other player is off the pitch. Would put an end to that slow 50 yard walk off the pitch when their team is winning and they are wasting time. Also no substitutions to be made after the 90 minutes have been played as a way of time wasting by managers.
All players have only 5 seconds to move a minimum of 10 metres away from any free kick or get booked. Maybe a circle projected by laser in a circle 10 metres from the ball. These bookings would be done by the 4th official so it did not slow down the free kick being taken.
End 3rd party interference! The real stuff - Chelsea loaning out players to mid table teams eg when Lukaku is taking points off their rivals but can't play against them. If that isn't 3rd party interference then what is? Simple solution is strict limits on squad size to include any players loaned out and no loans to clubs in the same division.
Players who cross themselves / pray / look to the heavens would be forced to become monks and banned for life. Do you really think that your imaginary friend decides not to interfere in Syria or the Ukraine but instead concentrates his energy on watching Chelsea or Man City to make sure that you score.

I would award 4pts for an away win to encourage attacking football.

Scrap regional qualifying groups in the world cup and draw it out of a hat. Players fly all over the world to play for their countries anyway, so why not send England to Mexico for a world cup qualifier. And scrap any seeding.
Straight red for shirt pulling and diving. It would soon stop.
All games to be studied by video panel - any missed incidents to be retrospectively punished - including pointsbeing deducted and awarded to other side
Introduce technology to show if a player is offside, none of this "interfering with play" bollocks. Offside is offside.
75% of all profits to be ploughed back into grass roots football - and as per Figo's manifesto - get rid of the Billions of dollars that FIFA has sitting in it's bank account.
Right, that's my first morning in charge over, off for some lunch.

It would be beneficial to both teams to SCORE in the first 5 minutes. Nobody would benefit from conceding, as they'd be potentially dropping two points.

I would not change anything and when I have creamed off my cut, a la Blatter, i'd fuck off to live on a private Caribbean Island and stick two fingers up to the rest of the world.

Oh right.
Would never happen of course but at least I understand what you are saying now.

All I'm saying is that it would be beneficial to both teams to concede in the first 5 mins.
That way they could play out a game normally, knowing that they would get a point if no further goals are scored.
Why not effectively start the game at 1-1 when your starting position is a point instead of none?

Surely it is just as likely to be fixed at 0-0 if not more so. Or is there something I'm missing?

And either make offside simple (daylight whether it's aimed at you or not) Or just scrap the thing

I'd allow keepers to have swords and strikers, shields with nunchucks.
Also anyone over 6ft has to wear a wizard's costume.
It'd still be less farcical than giving Qatar the world cup.

Touches your hands = free kick or pen no matter what
Bring back proper tackling, if you get the ball first, fuck your opponent. Tough. You shouldn't be there. (Old school tackling)
And sort out this free for all on corners shit

But currently you could do that with a 0-0 by not attempting to score. A 0-0 is mutually beneficial.
Trying that for 1-1 you run the risk of losing 1-0, so teams are less likely to play for the draw. Game theory innit?

What I meant that it would be open to scenarios whereby both teams would let the other score because a 1-1 is mutually beneficial.
