This is a common argument from those learning the game, but the defensive style without the rule would slow the game down, not speed it up.

You spelled 'enlightened' wrong.

You're correct. People that say that have no clue.

Sure glad they can't 'fast break' in soccer. Killing the action sure makes the

Hahaha. Never seen a counter attack? Also where is the fast break in football?

Baron

Football they don't call a penalty if the WR gets past the DB.

BYUtka

They do if they pass them before the ball is snapped.

Baron

So you want to incorporate 'snaps' into soccer? That wouldn't work well.

BYUtka

No. You are the one trying to incorporate other sports rules into soccer.

And soccer is a sport so full of their own tradition as to ignore their own.....

No, I am trying to make the game better, fixing one of the obvious flaws.

Yeah, lets add a basketball rule that the defense has to be past the foul line before the offense

LOL. This is my favorite ignorant comment. Offsides helps fast breaking counters

Nope.

Maybe... Maybe not. Would change things for sure.

BYUtka

9/29/16 9:30pm

You are right. Defenses probably wouldn't change.

I doubt he even understands the game enough to understand what you're saying.

Then it would just be Aussie rules Football.

What do you mean "defense doesn't have control of the formation"? No offside....

I keep hearing this argument, and I don't believe it's true
