Actually, the first three-way soccer match was televised on October 28, 1978, on the Laff-A-Lympics. I don't recall the exact score, but the Scooby Doobies and Yogi Yahooeys tied for the win over the Really Rottens. True.
I'd love for this to become a proper professional sport. Even if it becomes one of those smaller sports that you'd watch at the Olympics and forget about after
+johnathan1784 I don't see it as a "fix", but rather an improvement of the original idea, to give it another perspective and (who knows?) maybe a more entertaining and exciting turn to the game (we could play this style when there are 3 teams wanting to play, and we want them all to join the game, so, why not?). An example of this statement are smartphones. The original principle wasn't broken, and after an incredible development, cellphones were made. And with that, eventually someone added the features that now allow us to have such incredible technology in our hands. Say, we still have phones and cellphones, but the improved principle is what made different the whole thing, the whole society. It's kinda exaggerated, but in a certain matter correct.
+Kay Horn The only reason that looks like a problem to you is because you don't understand how this game works. In your senerio, it's not Team C who would get that point, it's Team B. You get points by being scored on, not by scoring goals, so the team with the fewest points wins. - In other words, in your senerio, it doesn't matter that it was a C player who scored, both Team A and Team C are helped by that goal.
Kay Horn "1 team is either doing nothing because they are leading, and the losing team will just get bullied til the end of the game." - That's literally the opposite of what would happen. It only takes a basic understanding of strategy to realize that the two losing teams would team up to take on the winning team.
Kay Horn Is it possible for you make a comment without mindlessly insulting me? Is it possible for us to just have a mature disscusssion about this? Is that a thing you're capable of? - Anyway: no. The team in second place should NOT team up with the winning team. By teaming up with the losing team, the second place team will be able to dethrone the winning team. - If you're in second and you team up with the winning team, you're just helping your opponent win. It's literally the dumbest play you can make. - Let me break down who you should team up with: Team A is winning Team B is in second Team C is losing - Team A would, ideally, want to team up with Team C to extend their lead over B. - Team B would, ideally, want to team up with Team C to catch up with Team A. - Team C has a choice: do they want to improve their chances of taking second, or do they want to make the game more even all around making it easier for them to eventually take first, but less likely to quickly take second. If the former, then they'd want to team up with A, if the later then they'd want to team up with B. - If A and B are tied: Both A and B want to team up with C, and C's choice is very situational. - If B and C are tied: B and C should team up to make sure A doesn't run away with the game. A would settle for an alliance with either team. - If everyone is tied: Very situational and there's no way to answer who should team up with who without knowing anything else about the game.
that would be better with only player per team and a really little field...or maximum 2 players per team... with that giant field and so many player it's just a big mess...
dubididubidi that would be bad cause you had to choose whether or not to go on offense or stay defensive, if you if A and B where attacking C than B went rouge and just shot it into A's goal than A would be punished for attacking
Fun but not for competitive sports, I think. It will be hard to have the winner and I think it will involve grudge against the other team to decide which team they should attack.
Five things I want to see tried: 5. Massive double sized pitch, 22 a-side! Epic battles to advance up-field! I imagine players like Bale would be a huge asset! 4. Normal 11 a-side but with 2 balls in play at one time. You can be defending and attacking simultaneously, tricky for TV coverage! You would need to have one ref that follows each ball, each ball would be a different colour. Imagine if they had it in the 90's, you could have had Beckham lining up a free kick at one end, whilst somewhere else on the pitch Keane is getting sent off for stamping on a guy, you wouldn't know where to look! You might even have a situation where both sides score simultaneously with home and away fans all celebrating! Trippy shit. 3. No goal keepers but smaller goals and you've got to shoot from outside the box, still high scoring! You might have to make a circular or round ended box rather than square! 2. Regular 11 a-side but on a circular pitch, offside's would be hard to adjudicate! Or you could use a cricket oval, you might need again more than 11 a side! 1. Or most ambitious, eight sided pitch, 4 goals evenly spaced, 2 teams, lights above each goal, 2 lights off, one on... red, one on blue, your team have to target a certain colour, they change at random, you might be advancing in on goal and suddenly it becomes the one you are defending and your goal keepers is miles out of position! OK that is too far, might not work!
The comments here typifies the stupidity of the RUclips community. There's no way three-sided football is going to replace conventional football. It's just a very fun, new, much more tactical way of playing football. Calm down, they won't replace anything.
amapolishplummer , I see your point. Sure, I agree that it is a fun game to play with friends and there will be mindgames near the end of the play to make it exciting , what my claim is that, it is just plain unfair for one team even when they possess a quality squad. The game could be twisted to unfavourable conditions for one team even if they have the strongest players. They would lack the man power to come against the allied teams, it is just plain unfair for a team with better players to lose for the terms of the game. Like you said, to win it could be a fair contest, but to lose one of the teams could get slammed anytime no matter what skills they have thus making the game a two team contest. If you like I'd like to present a scenario: Argentina, Spain and Italy are playing the game. And Spain and Italy could join forces and trash Argentina from the beginning and make the score Arg(-6)Spn(0)Italy(0) at halftime, and then as the latter half develops its just a contest between Italy and Spain, leaving Argentina with no hope. The game could be played with equality only by the will of all players which is impossible in terms of real life. Its just not professional sports, may be for reality tv, but not professional sports.
Taxtro Why would that be in the interest of the two other teams? The team who *concedes* the least goals wins, so it is in either of the two stronger teams' interest to betray their allied team after a goal is scored against the weaker team. Otherwise the game would lead only to a draw for the two strongest teams. Knowing that one of the two stronger teams will attempt a betrayal, the third team could attempt to curry favour by promising an alliance with one of the two stronger teams when the betrayal occurs. However an alliance also puts them in a good position for their own betrayal. It can get quite complex.
this is a cool concept, not saying it should replace regular soccer but its like how in basketball there are games like horse, knockout, around the world, 21, etc, should just be played amongst friends pretty much like different variations of basketball
When I was a child I saw 4 sided football in my dream, I never thought it would be a thing it was like 2 football fields next to each other and teams had to score in the oppsed direction and the far goal like the letter x (Thank you for reading and sorry for my english )
im from malaysia but ive never heard of 3 sided football before and now they're telling me we're entering the world cup? meh, thats probably the only world cup that we're qualified to join.
It would be cool if this wer like special games, like if the Méxican Super Clásico would be Cruz Azul vs. América vs. Chivas. Or maybe 4-way, that way Pumas could also be a part. But only for special occasions like that, but not for every game. I like the traditional games we have today.
We were playing a four sided version of this in the streets of Nairobi back when I was a kid. We had four goals and four players. Concede a goal and your out and another player comes in...
Are you dumb? This isn't suppose to replace normal football it's just s variation. You don't see anyone complaining about beach football or football tennis. Really, how dense can you be?
You can do some changes in rules such as bigger goals and 2 goalkeepers from different teams on each goal. Your team must score only in one goal (with 2 enemy GK). For example. It'll bring more balance in game.
There used to be a training exercise game a bit similar. But between individuals. Each person would defend a goal made of two sticks. Those goals would form a circle in which they played.
It shouldn't be fewest goals conceded or most scored, but goal differential, each team's goals scored minus goals conceded. That way teams don't gang up on another team or teams don't play all defense.
I thought of this concept when I was 7 years old, Now I'm 14. I thought that the pitch should have a 1.5 times larger area, but a circle, and the goals should be kept 1/3 of the pitch apart from each other.
Maybe 3-sided football can be like Futsal in that it will help the players to develop thier skill and well,help them become better players in normal football.
There's a saying, 'If it ain't broken, don't fix it.' Football played the way it's played between 2 sides (the traditional way) is just perfect and that's how we like it. So no reason to come up with a strange and somewhat weird 3 sided football (although I must say the guy who came up with the 3 sided football does have an imaginative mind).
CONCEPT: In a tournament of normal football, if there is a tie after over time, then there is a penalty shoot out. SCENARIO: Suppose there is a game with teams A, B, and C. At the end of overtime A has conceded one goal, B and C have not conceded. QUESTION: What happens then? Is there a penalty shoot out between B and C? Is there some form of a three-way shoot out? Does it depend on what team scored the goal? Or another way of breaking a tie?
Solomon Capetillo It doesn't make sense to play until there is a winner, makes more sense to play until there is a loser. So in your case team A will be eliminated and B and C will both advance. Is there only one winner out of the 3 teams?
The problem is that if the winner is the team which conceds less goals, every one would play defensively, and if there's a draw between two of the teams, what do they do?
We're doing one-sided: 2 teams 5 players each 1 goal Goalkeeper who isnt playing for any team and he has to just stop the balls (hes also the ref sometimes) The team that scores the most into the goal wins, game is 35 minutes long. A deflected goal can count for the other team, and also, its more interesting in a way, because if you attack and you lost the ball, you dont run back to your goal, you start defending the same goal you were attacking before. Its an easy way of getting a ref into an unorganized game at school. Theres only 2 positions: Playmaker and Striker (strikers are also defenders if the team loses the ball). It developed here after we were only 7th grade, and the other older guys took every other place on every "pitch", so we couldnt play on 2 goals. 2 sided football is more fun, but when you dont have enough players, really need a ref, have only 1 goal, or just want to differenciate and mix thing up a bit, that's the perfect option for you, as its more resource - light than 3 sided football.
so 2 teams can team up on the third and at last it will come back to 2 on 2 since both of them might have 0 goals in them which will make the game even longer
To be honest it looks fun only IF you play it with 2 balls, because with 2 balls theres always action on all sides, whereas with 1 ball theres only action on 2, and therefore is not a 3 sided football at all
Can't believe people here think this is supposed to replace the current sport or something. This concept is great to teach football though: it helps players to learn about different situations and be aware of the ball, team and opponents at the same time. So, don't be naive and expect this to be an actual sport. It just a variation of the original one.
*The team that concedes the fewest goals wins* Here's the recipe for success then: a team that parks the bus and has players with strong shots. Coming up on FIFA TV: Fire Football. Just like football, only it's played with a ball that's on fire. Also, handballs allowed.
Lol... Really?? Where I'm from we have a game called Four Cornered Posts it's football but there are four goal posts... Small ones arranged like a +. You we all have 100 points and if anyone scores in your goal you lose 10 points until youre out of points. Then it continues till only one person is left... It's a really fun way to pass the time while waiting for more people to join in for a match... The goal posts snot have to be huge.. You can use like boots or something as goal posts just put them opposite each other...
Well, for people who say this won't work, eventhough I don't like it, I would like to say that this was mentioned about many innovative ideas which didn't seem to be of importance, but guess what, they worked. When the TV remote control was invented, it was said that why the hell will people need a remote control to change the channel?! this idea won't go anywhere. Try to imagine if a salesman tells you these days to buy a TV that doesn't support remote controls, you will say that he is crazy. Don't judge the idea by how it seems to you right now, because even in sports you will find that some of them looked really stupid at the beginning. I remember once when I was talking to people who didn't know about the American football, and when someone explained how it works, they said that the idea is stupid, and it won't work! they didn't know that it is one of the famous sports in USA. There are many examples, actually, but just don't compare the idea with what football is right now, as it will be totally different. Different strategies, tactics and rules. My personal opinion that this idea can be interesting in a small court with small teams, such as 2 players in each team and small goals. Something like street football or beach volleyball.
Just pick the weakest defense and pummel them. This is what I would do. The more sides you have, 4, 5, 6 sides, the more defenses you have to pick from. The weakest defense will be attacked the most. Subsequently, what you could do is when say a certain number of goals are scored on a team, then they are kicked out. The last team standing is the winner.
If it's the team that has the least goals scored against them that wins. Why can't everyone stand on the goal line with their arms behind their backs so that they cover the whole goal.
+Byron Rodiguez Easy. If most goals win, it is very likely that two of the teams will gang up on the third team and pummel them with shots for easy, unfair goals.
+Carolus Rex But that's what happens with the current format. The two weaker teams (that don't have the skill to score the most) knock out the stronger team. That's the basic problem with games that have more than two teams
I had had dreams where I play on a 5 sided field. Seems like Im not the only one. It was weird but an interesting variation nevertheless. You cant top the original though.
i think if u play football like this u will get a lot of 10 against 5 situations.. if 1 is attacking 2, 3 can help them score goals.. i think this will not be fun and there will be a lot of matchfixing.

It doesn't.

what if two weaker teams gang up on a much stronger team?
+cerealkiller That's kind of the beauty of three-sided football. Alliances can be easily forged in a non-linear game.
The rules should then be changed so that every team could only score against the team on their right. Then two teams couldn't team up together.
+Kay Horn
The only reason that looks like a problem to you is because you don't understand how this game works.
In your senerio, it's not Team C who would get that point, it's Team B.

That's literally the opposite of what would happen. It only takes a basic understanding of strategy to realize that the two losing teams would team up to take on the winning team.
Kay Horn
Is it possible for you make a comment without mindlessly insulting me? Is it possible for us to just have a mature disscusssion about this? Is that a thing you're capable of?

Anyway: no. The team in second place should NOT team up with the winning team.
By teaming up with the losing team, the second place team will be able to dethrone the winning team.
-
If you're in second and you team up with the winning team, you're just helping your opponent win. It's literally the dumbest play you can make.
-
Let me break down who you should team up with:
Team A is winning
Team B is in second
Team C is losing
-
Team A would, ideally, want to team up with Team C to extend their lead over B.
-
Team B would, ideally, want to team up with Team C to catch up with Team A.
-
Team C has a choice: do they want to improve their chances of taking second, or do they want to make the game more even all around making it easier for them to eventually take first, but less likely to quickly take second.
If the former, then they'd want to team up with A, if the later then they'd want to team up with B.
-
If A and B are tied:
Both A and B want to team up with C, and C's choice is very situational.
-
If B and C are tied:
B and C should team up to make sure A doesn't run away with the game. A would settle for an alliance with either team.
-
If everyone is tied:
Very situational and there's no way to answer who should team up with who without knowing anything else about the game.
that would be better with only player per team and a really little field...or maximum 2 players per team...

dubididubidi that would be bad cause you had to choose whether or not to go on offense or stay defensive, if you if A and B where attacking C than B went rouge and just shot it into A's goal than A would be punished for attacking
Fun but not for competitive sports, I think. It will be hard to have the winner and I think it will involve grudge against the other team to decide which team they should attack.

OK that is too far, might not work!

Benswan187 what more fo you need
This won't work. In three sided games the weakest team will always be struck down be the combined powers of the two others.
It's just bad game design.
The team who concedes the least wins, so you need to somehow which allegiances half way through.
Chad Nitrofix Yeah but during the game you'd need to score against the other strong game to win.

This looks really fun!

You can do some changes in rules such as bigger goals and 2 goalkeepers from different teams on each goal. Your team must score only in one goal (with 2 enemy GK). For example. It'll bring more balance in game.

4-way, 2-ball, square pitch s is better with scoring the most goals AND having hockey-offsides rules on the territory boundaries.

Maybe 3-sided football can be like Futsal in that it will help the players to develop thier skill and well,help them become better players in normal football.

There's a saying, 'If it ain't broken, don't fix it.'

3 sided football: longer tradition than RB Leipzig

I reckon it needs to be played indoors or on a turf with walls so that there are no outs. It's a decent idea though and I love the organised chaos.
It's just great banter
CONCEPT: In a tournament of normal football, if there is a tie after over time, then there is a penalty shoot out.
SCENARIO: Suppose there is a game with teams A, B, and C. At the end of overtime A has conceded one goal, B and C have not conceded.
QUESTION: What happens then? Is there a penalty shoot out between B and C? Is there some form of a three-way shoot out? Does it depend on what team scored the goal? Or another way of breaking a tie?
Solomon Capetillo I assume B and C would be penalties or there would be another way. Elimination?
Solomon Capetillo It doesn't make sense to play until there is a winner, makes more sense to play until there is a loser. So in your case team A will be eliminated and B and C will both advance. Is there only one winner out of the 3 teams?
The team with the least goals conceded wins. So everytime one has fewer than the others, they gang up on him until its equal again.
Boring
The problem is that if the winner is the team which conceds less goals, every one would play defensively, and if there's a draw between two of the teams, what do they do?
lol i play four-sided football at school. it's called Four Corners. like if you remember
Lol me too!! :)
haha yeah, we simply called it four goals - only allowed 2 touches of the ball to make it interesting
We're doing one-sided:
2 teams 5 players each
1 goal
Goalkeeper who isnt playing for any team and he has to just stop the balls (hes also the ref sometimes)
The team that scores the most into the goal wins, game is 35 minutes long.
A deflected goal can count for the other team, and also, its more interesting in a way,
because if you attack and you lost the ball, you dont run back to your goal, you start defending the same goal you were attacking before.
Its an easy way of getting a ref into an unorganized game at school.
Theres only 2 positions: Playmaker and Striker (strikers are also defenders if the team loses the ball).
It developed here after we were only 7th grade, and the other older guys took every other place on every "pitch", so we couldnt play on 2 goals.
2 sided football is more fun, but when you dont have enough players, really need a ref, have only 1 goal, or just want to differenciate and mix thing up a bit, that's the perfect option for you, as its more resource - light than 3 sided football.
Eliad Eyar Even better: One goal, neutral keeper, every man for himself
Joshua Ryan yeah but everyone does that :D
Damn, this has the potential to make me interested in football...
Imagine a professional three sided football match that has Liverpool and Man Utd players coordinating together against another team
Could do 4 sided football.
Sorts out a group stage in one go.
Or 48 sided football.
Sorts out the entire world cup in one go.
Joke.
Should try this idea in Finland really.
Mercedes - Benz would be the perfect sponsor. 0:10
In the beginning when the score board changes it gives red a point yet red was scored on
id love to give this a try
I played this game when i was a kid. and i've never heard of this dude before
I'd love to see this become more popular have professional teams play and be televised
This could be more fun to watch than normal football
shocking how serious they take themselves.
so 2 teams can team up on the third and at last it will come back to 2 on 2 since both of them might have 0 goals in them which will make the game even longer
No offsides? Fantastic! Finally, a version of Soccer I can get behind!
Ryan Woods what is soccer?
In Ghana, we have 4 sided football... We call it 4 corners.. It's pretty great
Seems interesting. I don't think it will get widely popular though. It's too complicated for that.
To be honest it looks fun only IF you play it with 2 balls, because with 2 balls theres always action on all sides, whereas with 1 ball theres only action on 2, and therefore is not a 3 sided football at all
Played it the other day it was great
Can't believe people here think this is supposed to replace the current sport or something. This concept is great to teach football though: it helps players to learn about different situations and be aware of the ball, team and opponents at the same time.
So, don't be naive and expect this to be an actual sport. It just a variation of the original one.
I always thought was the only genius that imagined about 3 sided football
*The team that concedes the fewest goals wins*
Here's the recipe for success then: a team that parks the bus and has players with strong shots.
Coming up on FIFA TV: Fire Football. Just like football, only it's played with a ball that's on fire. Also, handballs allowed.
I think this is a cool concept. Too many people are set in their ways and refuse to acknowledge anything else.
That would be a great way to train three goalkeepers and do a good training for a big match.
Football should have its own Fatal 4 Way and Extreme Rules match.
I would love Copa90 to do a video on 3 sided football
Lol... Really?? Where I'm from we have a game called Four Cornered Posts it's football but there are four goal posts... Small ones arranged like a +.
You we all have 100 points and if anyone scores in your goal you lose 10 points until youre out of points. Then it continues till only one person is left... It's a really fun way to pass the time while waiting for more people to join in for a match... The goal posts snot have to be huge.. You can use like boots or something as goal posts just put them opposite each other...
here in morocco we play a 4 players version 1vs1vs1vs1 or 2vs2 with 4 nets... You should not touch the ball more than 1 time...
heres and idea... hyper football: there are two football fields in a cross formation and whatever happens in the middle happens
Well, for people who say this won't work, eventhough I don't like it, I would like to say that this was mentioned about many innovative ideas which didn't seem to be of importance, but guess what, they worked. When the TV remote control was invented, it was said that why the hell will people need a remote control to change the channel?! this idea won't go anywhere. Try to imagine if a salesman tells you these days to buy a TV that doesn't support remote controls, you will say that he is crazy.
Don't judge the idea by how it seems to you right now, because even in sports you will find that some of them looked really stupid at the beginning. I remember once when I was talking to people who didn't know about the American football, and when someone explained how it works, they said that the idea is stupid, and it won't work! they didn't know that it is one of the famous sports in USA.
There are many examples, actually, but just don't compare the idea with what football is right now, as it will be totally different. Different strategies, tactics and rules.
My personal opinion that this idea can be interesting in a small court with small teams, such as 2 players in each team and small goals. Something like street football or beach volleyball.
Just pick the weakest defense and pummel them. This is what I would do. The more sides you have, 4, 5, 6 sides, the more defenses you have to pick from. The weakest defense will be attacked the most. Subsequently, what you could do is when say a certain number of goals are scored on a team, then they are kicked out. The last team standing is the winner.
why is everyone against this? it looks like a fun game to play between friends. It's not dumb it's basically just a minigame
what is first person passes to second in hopes that he will score against the third but scores against the first taking advantage?!
People hate this but it's an experiment give it Time there will be better rules and it will be a good change for fun
Berkamp was the player of the tournament for me
i would love to play on this dynamic!!
It should be more like 5 sided pentagon style or hexagon
If it's the team that has the least goals scored against them that wins. Why can't everyone stand on the goal line with their arms behind their backs so that they cover the whole goal.
mourinho would love this. Just imagine it: a 0-0-0 draw between man utd, Stoke and West Bromwich
Should be one that scores most, more exiting
Also, it makes no sense to make it fewest goles, because then all you have to do is just stand there to win. Better if you make it to most goals.
fewest goals *taken* wins
what
+LocoMX A goal would count against another team though. You still want to score.
so basicly to be good at this is to have a really good defense and goalkeeper and dosent really matter about the ofense
The true way to do the super cup
Football is a game. 3-way football is a "custom game". Never can be ranked nor stated.
Why in the world does the fewest goals win
Fewest goals to concede
+Byron Rodiguez Easy. If most goals win, it is very likely that two of the teams will gang up on the third team and pummel them with shots for easy, unfair goals.
+Carolus Rex thanks man
+Carolus Rex But that's what happens with the current format. The two weaker teams (that don't have the skill to score the most) knock out the stronger team. That's the basic problem with games that have more than two teams
It looks like a game invented by Sheldon Cooper... to me it makes no sense...
I had had dreams where I play on a 5 sided field. Seems like Im not the only one. It was weird but an interesting variation nevertheless. You cant top the original though.
i think if u play football like this u will get a lot of 10 against 5 situations.. if 1 is attacking 2, 3 can help them score goals.. i think this will not be fun and there will be a lot of matchfixing.
allard slofstra
One team can beat two teams...
Rule of Neutrality
like in Chess for three players:

I wanna see a match !!
Don't change football the way it is is perfect
