Had a flashback last night to some of the mad and crazy things FIFA have tried to experiment with in pre-season friendlies over the years (whilst, obviously, never bothering to experiment with video technology).
Remember kick-ins in one friendly in place of throw ins, and have a distinct memory of players being given the ball on the half way line to run with at the keeper in place of the traditional penalty shoot-out in one friendly tournament (I distinctly remember us taking part in that one, but I may have hallucinated the whole thing).
Just wondering if anyone has any other memories of any other such experiments in pre-season games, and thoughts on whether they'd actually improve the game?
(Also if anyone has footage of any of these events taking place so I can prove to myself I haven't made these up it'd be great...)
