Yup, seems like that's the problem. I'm not sure if you are an American but I noticed most of the American articles about Soccer on the Internet are about how boring Soccer is because there isn't enough 'Scoring'. Seriously, some of them even have the guts to 'suggest' improvements that can make the game more 'exciting', like having two balls in a game to increase scoring... WTF!

Soccer is really popular in many places around the world because you don't need too much equipments to play it. And the game itself is really dynamic with little pausing (I know about exaggerated divings) unlike American Football where it seems to be 90% setup and 10% action and reset after scoring smth (which reminds me of American TKD Association matches). I think Americans like big scores and keep changing the rules every year to increase the scores because they think more score == more excitement apparently.

Sorry for the long ass reply and for the Americans if I sound biased. Every sports have their own strong points, but I just can't get why Soccer should change its rules or style to be 'exciting'. Are they pulling excuses out of their ass because they just don't like it? I also see Soccer gainning more popularity after 2014 World Cup so, we might see more appreciative American Soccer fans soon. How do you think of this scoring situation? I am American, no bias taken from me.. I happen to agree with all your points. I boils down to scoring equals excitement and excitement equates to $$$$$$$. Sports in the USA are no longer about passion or love of the game but about the good old dollar
