    Why don't they try to score every time they get the ball? I bet a team of former LSU DB's and RB's could win the world cup and it wouldn't even ne close.

    I think it would be a lot more popular if the best athletes in America played. Can you imagine a LeBron or OBJ that played soccer since they were like 4 years old? Man.

    They do. The other team has other plans. It is a transition from offense to defense that is seamless. Much like basketball.
    I already said that

    That's because there is no offensive strategy to attack the defense. Instead of standing around at midfield kicking the ball back and forth like Dean Smith 4 Corner offense get some beefy linebacker types to clear a path for the guy with the ball and knock the shit out of the defenders. Like they do in football. Then the other teams would get their own beefy types and the game would be a lot better to watch.
