Soccer is a slow game for American taste. You can't really take a good grasp of the ball, possesion changes way too many times, there are very few attempts to goal and when someone does score, all they get is one point. Worse, there are no challenges, re-plays and one dude has power to make any call based on his/her discretion. When it comes to refereeing a game, no game is fair, but soccer is far off from American Football, basketball or baseball. To make soccer popular in america, they have to change the rules. 1. Scrap offsites. It will break down the offense/defense and there will be more scores. 2. 4 point for goal from outside the box 3. 3 point for goal from inside the box 4. 2 point for penalty kick goal 5. No corner kicks for goalee initiated out ball, instead a penalty kick for 1 point. 6. Double the subtituion allowed That should do it.
