Soccer WC

Soccer is a whole lot of nothing and that isn’t something to sit and watch. You can compress the entire thing into a 30 second highlight reel when the game in it’s enirety is three hours long and there’s 1 goal.
Agree ^^
Not enough goals, they should remove the offside rule
 
Au contraire, mon general.

The teams would try to position enough players in front of the opponents goal and the keeper would try to kick the ball directly into this area. Consequence: No more action in the midfield and even more boredom.
So what should be done to get more goals?

  • And the field should be half the size. Indoor soccer hockey rink size. Goal size stays the same as the outdoor game.
  • Require boxing gloves and full PPE + full use of all Lombs and head as req.
  • Also to which I would add that all players must wear a 30 pound Murph vest.
  • Basically the soccer we played for fun PT day in the Marine Corps.
  • FURTHERMORE: Fake injury flail-acting gets the offending player dragged out into the parking lot and mauled by starved pigs. Tickets sold separately.
 
Soccer/football is centered around a strong defense. Most championships are won by the team with the best defense. Change the rules to let the offense dominate and you'll see more goals. Good example is basketball.
The TLDR version of this is "Shot Clock". But it's soccer so loss of possession for slow play. Lacrosse introduced rules like this to accelerate gameplay, so no more sitting on the ball and running out the clock. Hockey did something similar to eliminate the neutral zone trap.
 
Finally, cut the game time down to 60 minutes - no more, no less. No extra time. None of that crap that makes a 90 minute game take 4 hours or whatever.
 
Too bad Switzerland lost it's match. Rooting for England now. Go Brits ! Great to see they fixed their penalty shot problem.
