Suggestions to improve soccer scoring

[pavyracer]

Feel free to add your own.

1. Someone said increase the goal by 50% in height and width.
2. Use only 7 players for the whole field
3. Use smaller balls..something between the size of a volley ball and a softball
4. Eliminate the offside rule
5. Allow subs to be coming in and out as pleased.
6. Every foul is a penalty kick
7. Every 2 corner kicks committed the 3rd one results in a penalty kick.
8. Every 6 throw ins committed the 7th one results in a penalty kick.
9. Make each half 75 minutes instead of 45 minutes.
10. Stop the clock in every play and have video replay of every call.

there is absolutely no need to change anything

[lakerboy]

make the world cup better by getting the best teams there. too many good sides not there

[acarmelo1]

No changes are neded

[acarmelo1]

make the world cup better by getting the best teams there. too many good sides not there

They do it by regions

Some from South America, Some from Central and North America
Some from Europe
Some from Asia, and some from Oceania

[Holtgetsback]

2 less players on each team and no offside rule

[Deuce]

Offsides is the only one I think. Rest are rubbish and frankly bizarre.

[acarmelo1]

if you take the offside rule, then one player will always be lurking by the net. It will suck that way. There will be no complex plays. Just some guy waiting for a loose ball

[michalis]

there used to be no offside rule

there is a reason this changed

you'd have the players infront of the opponents goal waiting for the ball to come to them so they can put it in the net, with no rules in sports their would be chaos

Thanks but im well aware of how it works. I was making my suggestion on how to make it better. Getting rid of teams like Honduras will make it better but im aware that isnt gonna change thats why its called the world cup.

[michalis]

soccer is just fine, as I said in another thread, defences are becoming too complex and focus on killing the opponents game, defences ruin football by not allowing the opponent to make game, and there is nothing you can do about that

maybe limit the amount of players that can defend, dunno

[pavyracer]

Common guys. There is a reason this thread is in the PT. Use your imagination!

[SpiderMonkey]

We all want to "Americanize" soccer. There is a reason its the most popular sport in the world.

[Wrigley]

Have a blue line like they do hockey maybe 30 yards from the goal and use the hockey offside rule and get rid of PK to decide games

[Andy117]

Free substitutions
Flopping is penalized by penalty kick
9 a side
ban the vuvezela

[Wrigley]

Maybe have boards behind the net like they do in hockey and players can play rebounds off the boards

[gangeriver]

Offside is the most important rule of the soccer. if you want to extra score, you should watch a beach soccer match
soccer is not a score play. it is not an US sports! takcling, struggle, acceleration, heading,dribbling...
(not soccer! it is football! ...but US/Can citizens say "soccer". strange and funny)

[GRUMPERZ]

After the first half, the team with the best dive(oh excuse me, SIMULATION, as these loleuros call it) gets an extra player for the second half. Allow it to have a place in the game.

Low scoring is part of soccer and makes it unique

Leave it alone

[maersksealand]

By far the best thing will be a rule change to allow to kick the ball into the game from the side, instead the regular throw in.

[Naz18]

Soccer doesn't need changing....doesn't need to change the rules to allow high scoring like every major American sport..

[stealthyburrito]

Free substitutions
Flopping is penalized by penalty kick

this right here

2. Use only 7 players for the whole field
4. Eliminate the offside rule
5. Allow subs to be coming in and out as pleased.
9. Make each half 75 minutes instead of 45 minutes... unlimited clock, games going on for hours

Thats street soccer
Most the guys complaining would love Futsal or 5 a side soccer, its the game played 5 gears faster, on a smaller pitch, loads of goals, very intense, no real refs so you can have a punch up if you like.

[maersksealand]

Soccer doesn't need changing....doesn't need to change the rules to allow high scoring like every major American sport..

Just because an American Football game ends 17 - 10 doesn't mean that it was a high scoring affair. Other then that, did you ever saw a baseball game ending 1-0 after something like 15 innings ?

[ehp6737]

2 less players per side

This is a good point. It's like a 2-1 soccer game.

I never said major American sports are always high scoring...the leagues constantly change the rules to allow higher scoring. NFL, NHL, NBA all in the past 10 years have changed rules for higher scoring. MLB has also, but don't think it was from the league, more from steroids and ballparks being smaller.

Fuk sports where using your hands is verbotten

Fukking garbage

[Goat Milk]

If 7 players were on the field or 75 minutes, players would die.

I think decreasing the size of the pitch is a good option. This will allow players to pick their spots and run more (up tempo) rather than relying on the ball to do the traveling.

[eenymeenyminymoe]

to eliminate soccer would be the best improvement possible

[tailmypicks]

maybe americans should try indoor soccer first
its more your type

[ryanspeer2001]

I wouldn't change a thing except for maybe increase the value for a yellow card to something more severe.

[JohnGalt2341]

First, take away the ball. Next, you draw one players name out of a hat from each team. The 2 players then have an MMA fight with old school UFC 2 rules. Repeat up to 10 more times until one team reaches 6 victories. Once a team reaches 6 victories the match is over. Tell me this isn't 100 times better than Soccer.

[blackf1re]

Offside (NOT offsides) is hugely important. Abandoning it would be a disaster.

[hoopster42]

offsides is mandatory geniuses, without the offsides call guys would cherrypick and ruin the game, my god how do you not know this
