Please elaborate. I would love to hear your thoughts on how to fix it

I've discussed them before on the soccer board. It is too hard to score so it makes way too many possessions meaningless.

To better understand what I mean, compare it to football. In football(american), when you have to punt, you are unable to score. However, the yards you gained(or failed to) on the drive were meaningful. The equivalent of soccer would be if in football anytime you were turned over on downs, the opposition started with the ball on your 20.

Now basketball has this same problem but they alleviate it by high scoring. Because they score such a high percentage, a large enough portion of the plays are meaningful.

A solution would be widening the goals by a small amount.
