Ideas to make soccer more interesting from an American

[The War Report]

I'd much rather watch soccer than baseball in the summer while waiting for the NFL to start

I'm tired of you lames slighting baseball.

instead of attacking the threadstarter, why not just do what he says?
The average Amrican DOES find soccer boring and maybe they would watch with a few tweaks, just like the same way hockey realized they needed to change some things.

Last time I checked, the world was bigger than just America. Why would you appease a group of people who have no real strong interest in the sport in the first place?

Only Americans call it soccer.

and Australians/NZ, Irish, Canadians, South Africans, Japanese...

You the same nikka that would have been complaining that the forward pass is sacrilege back in the day, and anybody for it should be burned at the stake. Why would you limit excitement/fast action in a game. Let 'em play baby, let 'em play.

1 problbem with this football was still in its beginnings when they introduced the pass soccer been around for centuries. if you dont like it pay it no mind. just like you do with other sports you dont like

is there time of possession in soccer? that would be cool if they dont have it already

Then why bring the game over here? Why start MLS and the other various failed leagues over the years. Why do a ton of parents start their kids out playing soccer?

There's a GIANT amount of money to be made if America embraces a sport.

And soccer STILL aint hurting cuz Americans don't watch. Its still far and away the MOST popular sport in the world...only baseball comes close in terms of worldwide prestige..

one of the ONLY sports where the WORLD Cup is the (actual)WORLD CUP. not just some league of owners and employees.

I was thinking about this the other day. Offsides penalties really slow the game down.

soccer is a world sport and makes more money than any other no one is going to change anything cuz ppl find it boring

We in America like football not soccer which is why its called American football

he's right though. Baseball is the most boring sport to me. I'd watch cricket all day than to watch 1 inning of a baseball game
