Soccer would be better without offside penalties

Make it more like basketball. Yes I know these threads get made around the World Cup every 4 years, and people should continue to bitch about it until the rules change. 0-0 isn’t fun.

I think there should be a "no offsides" once the balls enters a certain area
It is so stupid to me that a ball can be in the penalty box yet we still have offsides enforcement

Soccer needs flags every play, tons of reviews, and commercials every 5 minutes.

Soccer rules are bad, and I agree offsides is the dumbest one. It removes fun breakaway plays and some high end speed/athleticism plays

World cup, every year... you seem like a well informed, casual fan. Definitely taking this thread super cereal now.

How am I supposed to post on TD when there are basically no play stoppages

I would argue that it makes the game better by eliminating cherry-picking. It also places emphasis on the timing of your attacking runs, forcing you as a player to be more creative. As opposed to just running straight up and down the field.

Mate you need to post this in the actual soccer board it's so fun to see them flip out over topics like this
Also need a thread about what NFL and NBA players would make the best soccer players.

The one redeeming quality of watching soccer. I even like it when a player gets hurt, they barely slow down. Medics, hustle this torn ACL off the field so we can reseume.

Soccer would be better if the slightly increased the size of the goal.

But say one team has a much superior goalie now maybe they play super aggressive leaving multiple guys back and willing to let more balls get kicked on goal, but also getting more “fast break” opportunities for themselves. You would have to deal with them differently. The offsides penalty removes strategy from the game, and unlike real football where there’s a line of scrimmage before the play starts, where being offsides actually matters

No. I think with this thread we've finally hit all the usual once every 4 years hot takes.

We haven't had a penalty shootout yet. That thread gets started in the knockout round
Need one about making the box smaller too
