So why not have more scoring? Exciting stuff, no?

if your only argument against soccer is the lack for scoring then you most just love cricket?

I don't really love it, or even like it, but that crunching sound they make when you step on them is pretty cool.

That's a good idea...then maybe the scoring would improve and make the game even less boring.

Hello my delusional friend,

as great as you may find me, I'm not actually God.

Also, I think you may have totally missed the point of my post. Nice to see that some things never change, eh?

How about we create a game called Americans soccer

How about we give 100 points for a goal, 50 points if you hit the woodwork or the ball gets whitin 2 feet of the goal, we take away the goalkeepers completely, 20 points if the ball gets whitin 20 feet of the goal, 5 points if you get the ball to land anywhere behind the goal..it just has to be between the corner flags and one point for every time you kick the ball up in the air

If you put 5 passes togeter in a row you get a bonus 5 points, if you make a great tackle you get 5 bonus points and if you hit the referee you get 5 bonus points.

It's makes things so much easier when all that matters in a sport is how many points a team can get, sure who needs boreing stuff like skill and tactics

Like all sports, befor you can actually have an opinion on soccer you have to actually pick a team and actually try to follow what's going on and why other people watch it and then you can have an opinion on it!

To make it a true American sport, all the players would have to wear pads, there'd be a trampoline for the goal keepers to use, there'd be 5 timeouts per team to allow more advertising and there'd be MULTIBALL MAYHEM!

Always loved Boston Goals.

Alternatively, we could have European soccer:

The goal is 4 feet high and 4 feet wide. All players can use their hands in the defensive half of their field only. If the ball goes out in the offensive half of the field, it's a free kick from the half line [hey, you have to EARN your way back down the field, bub!]

Imagine the skill of the offensive player who can beat THOSE odds, and imagine the excitement once someone scores! If you think the announcers sound orgasmic when someone scores now, just wait until their frustration has been building up over several games.
