and i admit a lot of soccer nuts are dumb about they rant about the alleged superiority of "their" sport... not targeting anyone in this topic because people actually provided interesting points but each time i check a soccer or an american football video on youtube there are reams of posts about what sport is better and usually the soccer guys are the ones to start shit up

here it's always the other way arround. But well, I should refrain from arguing with them, pointless. Let them think what they want to. Can't take them serious for the behaviour they display @ the G-Spot and the other sections anyway.
I don't think football needs much improvement. The most important thing is harsher punishment for divers, either by video analysis during the game or afterwards. Offside needs to be less complicated again, and the referees should be instructed to interpret close offside decisions really in favour of the attacker. But the most needed reforms don't affect the game itself: Football needs a salary cup, more rights for clubs against players who drop-out to get out of their contract, and a rule to keep rich fucks and sponsors who buy football clubs out of the game.
I don't think video analysis should be used to full extent. Maybe for foul calls/dives, but not for everything.

11m is fine by me. This is a dramatic and thrilling way to end games. If you don't want to rely on that, go for the win, you have 120 minutes to enforce a decision.
Robert Enke saved 10/23 penalties in his career, more than 40%, you don't get this number by "blind dives"

You're damn right it adds emotion. I'd be crying myself if I lost the World Cup on a coin flip.
