First matchday is on the book where all teams managed to get a W. Manchester City did not get one due to Tottenham wanted it more. As you know Kane did not play since he wants to play for City, little awkward to say the least. This could be the best 3 points for Tottenham this season. Both teams play wonderful Football and the fans were amazed.
I hope I am right Football fans are the craziest ever. The chants and constant buzzy noise is something out of this world. During playoff, NBA fans are crazy too in some cities. As a fan, VAR is something you dislike for many reasons. Stop the game to check for a goal is a problem for me. Either cannot stand how VAR is messing up the game. For this season Offsides is changing a little bit to give the benefit of the doubt to the striker. So happy they are moving away with this headache rule and allow the referee to make a decision and move away with the crazy line.
The sideline referee will not raise the flag unless the offside is blatant. YEAH! more goals and now the defense will be in trouble. No way to trick the strikers cause they are coming for you. Last season 20 goals were reversed due to the little tiny eyelash that was offside.EPL will follow the same rule from Champions League to keep the game fluid.
Handball was another one where it is coming back to what it should be from the beginning. If the opponent kicks the ball to the other player, it maybe a fault and to some level a penalty if the player tries to play the ball with his arm. If a player tries to play the ball with his arm and score, that will be rejected. If a player touches the ball by accident but another player score a goal, it is valid. I think the game of Brentford vs Arsenal, we had a case like that and the game continues and a goal were scored.
Players going down just by a simple touch will not be an automatic penalty. Do you remember Sterling doing this in the Final of Champions League? Going down has to do with the other player doing everything to stop you from scoring a goal. Again the referee has to keep a tab and follow the game completely to award such penalty. The flow of the game should remain clear and a team needs to win free and clear, not to look for penalty to cheat the game.
First matchday, 10 winners to start the table. If your team is not there, do not worry things can change quick in a couple weeks. As a Chelsea fan, I am waiting to see Lukaku, Pulisic, kai, Werner,etc... scoring goals. I know Manchester United like to finish the season strong. For the past couple years Leicester had been on top. Top four is not enough for Chelsea.
Noticing these rules should favor strikers and make it hard for defensive mind teams. Be ready to witness more goals down the line. I hope less injuries for all teams and great season for everyone.
By the way Tammy Abraham is at Roma. He wants to play so bad, so that was a good call for him to go there. He was surprised to see Roma fans appreciate him so much. Playing for Chelsea, UEFA Champion they know he can score and he will be working hard over there. Unfortunately the level reached by Chelsea could be overwhelming for him right now.
Giroux is gone too this year making room to see all strikers we want to see every week. Timo Werner should be scoring this season, with new rules he should be with Lukaku the force upfront. Chelsea with Lukaku have to do better than fourth place in EPL. Champions League is on the bag. Tuchel you got the team you want. Make it rain.
The rules are good and it will keep football clean and beautiful
Rules play a major role to keep the ball rolling.
I guess we should see more goals this season.
No more easy foul to score a goal.
!BEER
Yes, no more easy fouls. Let's keeping watching and enjoy it. The rule is going to work against pretenders who often shouting for foul.

BEER.BEERHey @hive-world, here is a little bit of from @pouchon for you. Enjoy it!Do you want to win SOME BEER together with your friends and draw the
BEERKING.I have to admit players falling down and not getting a guaranteed free kick is improving the flow of the game. Lets hope VAR don't stuff this season up like they have done previously.
VAR is a problem for itself with offside.
Defense will have a huge problem to change the way and not allow anyone and wait for VAR to correct everything.
Penalty through contact should be analyze deeply before getting one.
This new rules is going to change many things in the game.it will transform football to be more interesting
I think we should brace ourselves for what is to come. I love the new rules but despite that, I still believe Var will still mess up some matches. As Per Lukaku I don't think he will perform the way you are rating him @pouchon. Are you on discord?
I mean Lukaku cannot perform by himself. I am hoping to see Pulisic, Kai, Werner to make a dent since Lukaku is present in the middle. We will see.
Yeah I am on discord with the same name.

Can you add me up, I can't find yours
These new rules favor the spectacle with goals and yes the EPL will be fought from the beginning to the end.
Many players will cry a foul while the other team will attack.
I can see more red card this season as well.

One thing I like about the introduction of VAR is how it has helped to reduce significantly the rate at which "cheating" players dive in the penalty box.
I guess this season is gonna be super hot with new rules of engagement
Nice write up man and well done on featuring in the showcase.
It should have been like this from the beginning. We need more goals, not less!
Oh his baby toe is trailing just offside, scratch the goal off... No thank you! 😃
