Penalty should result in a high scoring chance! That's also the case in
human football. Moving the penalty spot to the centre mark would encourage
teams to have very powerful kicker.

>8) Indirect Free kicks:

Good suggestion!


>9) Chip Kick:

>Chip kicks should be allowed within any situation in the game to provide
>more options for passing.
When there is no restriction on chip kick, every kickoff is almost like a
penalty kick. So will be many of the direct free kicks. This was what
happened in the past!

>10) Double Touching:

>There should be double touching allowed in a radius of 50mm around the
>ball, to keep the game running if the ball is only slightly moved (less
>free kicks).
I think we should consider this proposal. It's pragmatic.
