Currently, any foul within the box is punished with a very good chance of getting a goal.
Is that right?
Obviously, if the foul prevented an actual goal scoring opportunity, then a penalty is appropriate. However I've seen multiple infractions on the edges of the box, with the play going nowhere, and the team with the ball gets rewarded with a goal, whereas, if the foul happened a few inches outside the box, a free kick would be the reward.
Should the rule be changed to:
Within the box, a foul that denies a clear goal scoring opportunity, gets rewarded with a penalty. A foul that does not deny a clear goal scoring opportunity, gets a direct free kick at the spot of the infraction.
I'm sure there are numerous flaws I'm not seeing, and someone will generously point them out to me. But the current system can't be the best way, can it?
