I was first team all state as a midfielder, granted I probably wasnt good enough to make a starter in college but I know plenty about football. The game would be better without offsides being a penalty. Would get rid of some of that stupendous defenders advantage. You basically cant burn someone one on one past college.
When you have an average of 2.3 goals scored per game, (world cup,) you have a high majority of games that end with one bad call or no call, which results in a free kick. So all that effort 90+ mins goes to waste because of a questionable call. I mean hell, the first game of this world cup was decided by a brazil player diving. And not only that if the game results in a tie, you simply do penalty kicks and remove anything resembling a team sport to a simple mechanical skill. Imagine if Basketball at the end of a tie was decided by whoever couldnt make the next free throw loses.
And perhaps the worst part of football is their is no coaching during the game, besides calling a sub, you have 15 minutes during half time to go over things. American Football the coach is probably the single biggest factor besides having a great QB. There are no plays in soccer other than positional battles. Basketball has 200+ plays, soccer has "give and go"? Free kick and Corners? Football is amazing because it has basically zero commercials and is by far imo the best sport for schools. But MLS and Premiere is so boring, remove offsides and you have a better game.

Basketball seems like a brainless sport where people run up and down a court making horrible noises with their trainers.
We can all make stupid posts about things we know next to nothing about.

Football is only the most popular sport, because its the easiest and cheapest to play. Not because it is the "beautiful game." How exciting to watch people pass a ball around for 90 minutes. The defenders advantage is such a buzzkill. It would be like if in Basketball you were only allowed to bring 3 players past your half court.
