BERLIN (Reuters) - FIFA technical director Marco van Basten would like to see how football works without offside and limit the number of fouls a player can commit during a game.

The former Netherlands striker would also like to experiment with sin bins instead of yellow cards and replace the penalty shootout with a system in which a player would have to run at goal from 25 metres.
