Why don't they move the shootout penalty kick farther back in fairness to goalies ?

Here's how you make soccer more enjoyable:

Shorten the pitch and lay down wood flooring. Eliminate the goalies and turn the goals into small rings elevated 10 feet above the ground with a board behind it. Only use hands instead of feet, and make kicking the ball illegal. The ball must be bounced in order to advance, otherwise the player can pass to any teammate, even one right next to the goal. Institute a shot clock so that a team has 24 seconds to attempt a shot on goal after obtaining possession. Now that would be a good sport.

You are fuckin LAAAAAAAAAAAME.

Well, you can still watch effeminate men casually jogging and kicking a ball back and forth. For us who want to see athletes accomplish physical feats, there are better sports.

Surely, there is something they can do that will allow more scoring and less falling down and faking injuries.

American football is by far a superior sport!

Clearly nobody who has commented here has ever played soccer before.

You essentially have to be in impeccable physical condition (especially strikers & middies) due to the fact that you have to run great distances for WELL OVER 90 MINUTES.

I'd be willing to bet my next milkshake that none of you cats could run from your chair to the fridge without losing your breath.

Keep doing those beer curls and pizza slides.
