The Soccer Solution # 2


People love soccer, all over the world, except in the USA. The usual complaint being: "They don't make hardly any goals. 90 minutes and 1 goal is just too boring". Blasphemy to the sacred church of football of course, but I think they have a point. The games are kind of dragged out, when there could be more excitement. My kids play handball, and those games end like 23-27. And the outcome is usually uncertain, and one team can be down 7 goals, and then go up on par in five minutes. Thrilling!
If it was easier to score in soccer, the games wouldn't be set after 2-0 and 20 minutes.
Solution: Make the goals 1 meter wider, and 20 cm higher, and there would be a new uncertainty to the games outcome, making the sport more thrilling.
