should be a 12 yard semi-circle around the center of the goal.

only if you are fouled in that area do you get a PK kick. Goalie can no longer run 28 yards out and grab ball.

my photoshopskillz have dead, not really to scale , just a rendering...



current penalty area = 7,128 sq ft
proposed penalty area= 2,035 sq ft

just trimming the fat of where garbage PKs are handed out, and the area shite goalies can over commit too.

It's unnecessary. It is fine as it is.

Do shots from behind this line count for 3 points in this sport too?











Seriously though, I think that is too small. But i do agree that there may need to be a change.

That circle would look even smaller with players on the pitch.

As a goalie myself I have to say frick no. Being a goalie is already hard enough as it is. The box is mine gtfo.

While I disagree with this, I find this interesting. Although it seems strange at first, if this was how the penalty area always looked, we would certainly consider the idea of an 18 yard box to be ridiculous.

In an ideal world, there are some other changes I would make in soccer. I think the away goals "tie breaker" is idiotic. I would also prefer to keep track of time the way other sports do (count down, stop the clock for stoppages instead of adding time, and end the half/game when the clock hits 0:00), but I can make peace with this since it makes it a hell of a lot harder to add commercial breaks.
