The World Cup was doing an incredible job of rehabilitating the United States’ image to the rest of the world all the up to when the US remembered why it doesn’t like soccer that much. Then it all fell apart. I think an easy fix to the offside rule is to just look at the feet. I don’t care if a player’s fingertips are offside. If his feet are onside, he’s not gaining an advantage. But to be clear, I probably have no idea what I’m talking about.

@rationalyankee It also rankles a lot. It is like europe seeing the superbowl for the first time and questioning everything. why do they have so many substitutes. why do they no longer have to show control by "touching down". why are they wearing armour isnt that more dangerous.

@rationalyankee We just need to get rid of VAR it has been a terrible experiment and works in millimeters. But in the past goals have not been given Lampard and Hagi examples to google because of blind referees just need a middle ground.

If the sport wish to progress even further with growing the game in the United States and Canada, it would need to make some adjustment to rulebook. For hockey, offside rules evolved over time, so did the basketball evolved their rule book with 3 pointer away from the original rulebook which didn't exist before 1979. American football changed their rules in order to have the sport prosper but soccer always have been lagged behind without some kind of creativity on certain rulebook. Offside rule in FIFA has to be seriously looked at to improve scoring with some kind of exemption. One example: Iran's pass by a free kick is called back a offside so free kick shouldn't be offside for any reason. Just a thought of how they could have made exemption by their laws of the game. Some of the beautiful scoring is marred by the offside by a toe. If the ball was passed from outside the box, and it touched someone in the box, it should have been allowed to be onside. If the ball that was passed from outside but the first touch was offside, he is offside. Just a creativity that would help the game even further without dragging the game even further back. It is my belief that once you earned the box, you should be onside for any reason to open up the space, just like hockey's blue line rules, once you are inside the line, you are free to try and get open for scoring opportunity.

Eliminating offside in the box is the one rule that would make soccer better. The spirit of offside is about penalizing cherry picking. But calling offside that close to the goal is dumb, rewards bad defense, ruins so many legitimate goals.

If USA wins the world cup, can we put in a stop clock and concrete rules instead of the arbitrary nonsense that results in games like Portugal vs Croatia?

@jonathanstoop Arsene wenger says hello. They tried this in Belgium i think this year. The problem is VAR though it needs to go.

Here's my suggestion for improving the offside rule: Widen the line used to draw offside to marginally increase the buffer for what counts as level with the last defender. This absorbs the toenail decisions with minimal disruption to general play.

Safe to say England doesn’t like hearing about the 4th of July but I’d absolutely would love to remind them that the 4th of July is this coming Saturday 😂😂😂

Once the USA wins the World Cup we should take over FIFA and eliminate the offsides penalty. If you’re a defender and you get beat, that’s on you.

@BrettMendoza_ Best fish and chips are never on the beach or in a restaurant You literally want to go on a random street as far away and see some tacky one, they make the best ones by far Sharpest contrast is nice restaurant to any old fish and chip shop, genuinely giant difference

@pixel2ai @TrollFootball2 pixel2ai She's yelling "Jebote!" – Croatian for "Fuck!" or "Oh come on!" Pure frustration, probably at the ref or VAR. Classic fiery Croatian fan vibes! 😂🇭🇷

@RealBigToshi Yea quote a sport that allowed a player to be literally beaten out of competing Paul Kariya. Talented but got knocked out by talent less opponents multiple times.

Hockey: You punched someone in the face several times? Take a 5 minute breather and you can come back in the game. Soccer: You accidentally stepped on someone's ankle? You're kicked out and suspended for the next game. Soccer is soft.

Why does everything in this country have to revolve around alcohol? If you need a beer to enjoy a football match at 1am in the morning you've got a problem and you should seek help.
