If I ruled the world, I'd keep first to 5, but make it that a team has to score 5 and win by 2 goals in order to stop the clock and be announced as winner- it would stop weak teams getting unneccesarily destroyed at a tournament 10-0 over a 10 or 12 minute timed game
With the exception of qualifiers and first round of Swiss, this shouldn't happen anyway in principle because the more equally matched teams would end up playing each other.
No limit on goals would then only create more clarity between the more equally matched teams for example really good teams becoming sorted from pretty good teams, really terrible teams becoming sorted instead of 5–4 results etc.
