    Do any of the new laws mean that both teams can lose a game? If so they need to implement the law within the next few hours.

    No attacking players in the wall = less goals

    Only for those teams that rely on roughhousing. For other teams it will be the opposite - more players will be attacking rather then trying to put the wall off.

    Will mean that specialist free kick takers will be more valuable now as well.

    The wall one is stupid and arbitrary.

    Allowing goal kicks not to leave the box is very sensible and will help kids football. Remember when I was 11 or so on a **** pitch with the wind in your face you’d be delighted to punt it ten yards out of the box. An opposition goal kick becomes one of your biggest opportunities to score.

    lols, yeah, our goalie got the job purely on his ability to kick it the farthest from the goal kick.
