1. Randomly planted Bouncing Bettie's on the pitch.

2. The ball will explode into a mushroom cloud with a 3 meter kill radius, every 38th kick.

3. The goalie is allowed a shotgun.

4. Limit the athletes to naked Itilian supermodels.

5. In the event of a tie after the 74th hour (or minute......I don't know, I've never watched that long), machetes for everyone on the field.

Soccer is a great sport. Every southern redneck who thinks soccer is "gay" or "un-American" is a mouth breather.

I caught four with the first cast.

That's gotta be a record.

The fact that you called it a "pitch" made me skeptical.

that was sincere. I've heard those Brit-Franco announcer fricks use that term.
But seriously, dear god what a boring sport to watch. A Field of Drama Queens, Embellishing for a Red Card, should be the name of sport.

Let you & I shoot at the soccer ball with M855 5.56mm ball...

No M856, just to make it sporting.

Why do you want supermodels to get blown up? Are you a gay?

Not boring if you understand the sport. American football is 5 seconds of action and 30 seconds of ads and waiting.

Every sport has flopping. Find any sport where the pros aren't drama queens. It just so happens that in soccer, if you lose your head, you get thrown out of the game, not some silly 15 yard penalty.

I understand the sport, and find it in the same 'meh' category as basketball. There is strategy involved, but soccer didn't get to be the most popular sport on earth because it's complex or has layers of strategy. Soccer is the most popular sport because its cheap to play. You need a ball. That's it. Everything else is quite optional. With a planet that has 9/10ths of the population in what Americans would consider abject poverty, that's pretty much the most important aspect.

The most complex sport for strategy is American football.
