Some are shorter and narrower than others. There is no standard size just a size range. A smaller field just means defense can pack it in tighter of that's their plan. It does nothing for offense. It would either lead to a slower, more methodical possession based attacking approach with few actual attempts on goal. Or a ping pong match where neither team can maintain possession. Either way its bad for attacking play.
There are around 3.5 goals on average in a match if I remember correctly. That's quite a bit.

Oh... another soccer v. america thread on the MSB
These are always fun to spectate and laugh at the idiotic comments from both sides of the argument.
"soccer's gay"
"football is unamerica"
Holy shite guys, it's ok to like football and soccer.

So basically 4 goals in usually what 90 minutes. That's 22 minutes every goal, that won't entice American viewership. Hockey changed it's dynamic after the lockout and it's a strong and popular sport. You have to have the big offense.
Americans are only going to be entertained by goals and goal keeping. That should the focus.
