No, football is not designed to be played in the middle 2/3rds of the field....
soccer is. And on any given play in Football a team can score, in fact almost every single play a football team runs is designed to go the length of the remainder of the field and score a touchdown. And no one is rewarded for a tie game like they are in soccer so no one plays for a tie, they play to win. They may try to tie a game to send it into overtime and then try to win it there but no one is trying to have the game end in a tie like they do in soccer.

And trying to compare the offsides rule in football to the one in soccer is not going to work as they are not the same and are not designed to be the same. In soccer the offsides rule is designed to keep scoring down and prevent it from happening, in football it is a game about field position and you start from the position you've earned, they aren't similar at all.

Look its fine for you to like soccer but that doesn't mean it isn't a snooze fest and it also doesn't mean it isn't boring by design. The sport tries to be low scoring and lacking in any real action, then throw in that they all want to end in a tie and it just gets ridiculous.
