And get rid of the damned offsides. If you don't want people cherry picking, defend them.

Probably the only reason you find soccer boring is because you don't understand the intricacies to the game, and why certain passes are made, ect. You find passing the ball back boring? What about a QB just throwing it away? That's pretty damn boring too...

Sorry, didnt know you had to know the intricacies of something to enjoy watching it. I dont know how this works, but it amuses me a hell of a lot more than soccer does...

I haven't read any of this thread other than the OP but all I have to say is I'd say go for a 5 yards rule like in the CFL before going no kickoff.

How about an XFL scrum instead?

The difference there is, the QB throwing the ball away is the exception, rather than the rule....while passing the soccer ball back into the team's own backfield happens a significant number of times.

Honestly, I find soccer to be slow, and thus not entertaining. I find baseball the same way. The only sports I'll watch are Football, some Basketball, and the occasional UFC fight.

Now if we're talking about playing, that's another story. I played soccer as a kid and it was fun to do. As something to watch on TV though? Not so much.

Explosions are pretty damn cool, and that is basically what this is, an explosion of coke!

Soccer is kinda boring but when your team scores the excitement is awesome. Like when the US scored against England in the World Cup I can't tell you how thrilled I was. Sorry for derail and if they take away the kick off I'm done with the NFL.
