More times than your stupid round ball goes in the net.
GOAL!~
P-
Tell me if you think these might help you enjoy the game more, phlabby:
1. Double the width of the goal and make it higher. More scoring.
2. Give a penalty kick for every foul. Penalty kicks worth one point.
3. Normal goal worth 2 points. (More scoring and excitement.)
4. Add a semi circle for a three-point goal.
5. Make the ball red, white, and blue.
6. Add a shot clock.
7. Shorten the halfs, but give each team 3 timeouts per half.
8. eliminate the off-sides rule.
9. There are two many teams and leagues. Disband all of the leagues and start over with one big european league with teams in the major cities only, london, paris, munich, milan, manchester, etc. Create two conferences of three divisions each and have an 8 team playoff of 3 games each with 2 wild-card teams.
10. make the teams bring the ball over the half-line in a certain number of seconds and don't let them pass it back.
11. instead of corner kicks...give the team 4 or 5 different spots to take the kick. (adds strategy and more scoring)

more advertising time is good. I think in addition to the team timeouts, we could have regular television timeouts to add TV advertsing revenue.
That way the players won't have to wear those silly advertisements on their jerseys.
Also, the team names are a little boring.
I can almost see it now:
The London Mets vs. the Munich Brewers in Soccer Bowl III presented by Budweiser, the King of Beers.
