biggest complaint is playing 90+ minutes of one game and then to break the tie

120 minutes actually. In the knockout rounds, if it is a tie after 90 minutes

This is a perfectly acceptable topic of debate.

Have you ever participated in a shootout yourself?

Yes, I agree, but it's structural flaws lead to that secondary flaw.

There's nothing worse than soccer flopping

Soccer is the poor country "sport." I have no need for it.

Despite the fact that non poor countries such as England and Germany are soccer

Soccer is for people who suck at all other sports.

Baseball sucks and is for people too unathletic to run.

Wrong category! I have the soccer categories turned off for a reason.

Exactly. Guy saying turn off soccer category in non soccer category is ironic

Could you ELI5 why removing offsides would decrease scores?

I agree that it seems counter-intuitive at first but I believe it's because

It forces defenses to play further back.

Start giving consistent yellow cards for flopping.

It uglies the sport just like it does basketball

Agree 100%. The NBA did something about it, and it's improved a little.

Love soccer and the world cup, but the goals should absolutely be much bigger...

ArchbishopMitty

6/14/18 12:32pm

Lol I don't think the size of the goals are the design flaw in soccer.

how would eliminating offsides lower scoring?

Someone else asked the same question a few posts above; I offered my thoughts

Machiavelli

6/14/18 1:58pm

yeah, I don't get that claim at all. Teams would hunker down and play defense?

Is it true that in soccer you can have 11 players on defense (including goalie)

decided to look at a youtube clip. There were 11 defenders and 7 offensive
