| Question for the soccer/football fans (2 parts)
Part 1: Do you guys like the sport the way it is, or would you prefer it to be slightly higher scoring?
I can understand the appeal of a low scoring game, because it makes the goals that much more important, and even the near-goals are exciting.
but, at the same time, do you ever just clamor for a game where the teams are going back and forth scoring, and a 3-0 defecit is not insurmountable?
I'm just a little curious
Part 2: If someone was to come up with rule changes to make the game higher-scoring, what sorts of things would they do?
I suggested to a co-worker (a genuine soccer fan) that they eliminate offsides, since that takes away so many potential break-away opportunities, and he gave me a lengthy explanation as to why that would be a bad idea.
So, what could be done? |
