Christian Martinoli might be on to something

TV Azteca’s Christian Martinoli’s rise to fame (and for good reason) has come due to his talent for calling games in real time, making witty comments, willingness to criticize certain situations if called for. Not mention, all this with the help of his two main sidekicks during his career, Mexico NT legends Luis García and Jorge Campos, and as of the last World Cup, Zague. But never has he been known for creating or reforming rules within Mexican soccer.

And I still don’t think that he will, or do I? A video has been circulating of Martinoli himself with an even bolder rule change suggestion than the one where teams qualifying for the playoffs went from 8 to 12: to go from 12 to 16!
