They should make the goals bigger so the game would be a little more exciting. Who wants to watch hours of play end up in a 1-0 snooze fest? 11/25/2022 2:30:27 PM |

They're too dumb to know how to stop and start a clock and then let refs just decide willy-fuckin-nilly how long a game will be

They should make the goal the entire width of the field. And also allow players to touch/throw the ball with their hands. Also add in a cool halftime show and sideline cheerleaders with big floppy bewbs. 11/25/2022 4:55:19 PM |

Soccer balls are full of air, hockey pucks are full of 100 billion year old magma. And are hit at speeds approaching the sound barrier. Not even close to the same 11/25/2022 5:51:05 PM |

Hockey is fine to watch on TV (especially since the advent of HDTV.) I actually enjoy it more on TV than in person.
Soccer is incredibly boring to watch to me both in person and on TV because most of the game is 16+ guys standing/walking around, 2 guys jogging and maybe 2 guys running for 5 seconds then more standing. 11/25/2022 6:22:16 PM |

Would we like soccer more if the goals were worth more? Make a goal worth 7 points! 11/26/2022 8:02:14 AM |

-Bigger goals -Halftime shows and cheerleaders with big bewbies -Ability to throw the ball -Multiple balls in play -Smaller field -Alarm system for scoring alerts -Fill balls with helium -Allow tackling

Penalty kicks worth 1.
Other goals worth 2.
Goals from further out worth 3. 11/26/2022 12:51:16 PM |

Soccer builds up the pressure play after play you get close but you don't get that release and then when the goal does come it feels crazy
what I find to be a hell of an annoyance is all the bitching that players do these days to exploit fouls by falling on the ground like they're basketball players. And cause of some players doing it, other players end up doing it too cause they think they won't get a foul if they don't overreact and fall down
street soccer is very fun though cause people aren't bitches and you happily take heavy shoulder pushes and all and get back up like a man 12/1/2022 8:59:10 AM |

I'm in a casual adult league, and someone flopped last season after I kicked their foot by mistake. They stayed down for like 30 seconds, then finally popped back up and were fine 12/1/2022 10:04:10 AM |

The field is huge, and there's a lot that the ref can't see, especially when the refs view is often obstructed or the players have their backs to the ref. Sometimes they have to exaggerate to get the ref's attention, even when it's a totally obvious foul on a replay. Of course, some of them take it entirely too far.

Hell, players can fake getting hit by a pitch in baseball which isn’t even a contact sport (save for rare collisions). 12/1/2022 1:24:46 PM |

Yeah but in football if you fake an injury they stop play and you're forced to come off the field for a play. There is no real repercussion for doing the same on soccer. If they made embellishment a cardable offense it would be gone in a hurry but they never will. 12/2/2022 11:49:19 AM |
