I am watching a soccer match on TV

and one thing I noticed is that there are far too many turnovers in this sport. I think at one point the red team had turned it over on 23 straight possessions before they scored, which to me is unheard of. It is no wonder the scores are so low in these games, thus the least popular sport in the world.
Anyway, I determined that the lack of blocking in soccer makes the ball carrier's job far too difficult, let alone not being able to use his/her hands.. There is no excuse for a defender to be able to casually stroll over and steal the ball away. If there are 11 guys on the field, at least 5 should be trained as blockers, while the rest are responsible for scoring. If a defender tries to steal the ball, he'll have to contend with a 310 pound full back with a bad attitude.
And don't bother, I just hit send on an email to Clemson Men's Soccer Coach Mike Noonan and told him all about my innovations to the sport. I pretty much expect a job offer by Monday.

Could you imagine football if every time someone got roughed up a little they got to attempt two extra points? Our Tigers would never win another game again.

Also, get back to me when football players spend most of the game running like in basketball and soccer, rather than taking breaks standing around between plays like baseball players do.

that you haven’t figured out that a lot of my responses to you are just to mess with you. If they weren’t then why else do I TU your posts? Yeah sometimes you’re full of it but I have never encountered many people who aren’t. Enjoy your day JK.

It was a sign to me that America had cleared the precipice of fashion and popular culture, and that it was all downhill from there. Prove me wrong.

Turnovers will go way down but it will ultimately ruin the sport.

Sorry, but to me, watching soccer on TV (or live) is still

just about as exciting as watching paint dry.
(I know, millions of fans worldwide can't be wrong, yada yada. As an old joke from someone's grandpa said, good thing we don't all like the same thing, otherwise there would be a whole bunch of men putting moves on your grandma!)

This is a sport where they should have an ANTI TARGETING rule. Every time that you fake an injury, you're disqualified. Only problem would be that you'd need an 85 man roster.
