Start with clock management. No reason we cant stop the clock when play stops, and limit the arbitrariness of extra time.
More objective rules for yellow and especially red cards.
Why just one ref? Add one or shift more to technology.

The chaos is why the planet calls it football and treats it as a religion, not a product. Your list of items are features.  

The entire world has a set of principals they commit to, and Americans wanting to change them only proves to them that they're on to something bigger.

spain looked really good
in my mind they might be favored to win it all
but there are argentines in my orbit, and messi is miami's captain
so i'm going to support argentina
just hoping for a good game with a searing shoot out at the end

I'm rooting for them all the way, even though $20billion of our tax money recently went to Argentina to prop up their soccer program.

He shows up a Madison Square Garden when the Knicks were rolling, they lose that game. He inserts himself into the World Cup as the US team was on a roll, they lose the game. Coincidence?
