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

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

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?

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