#6. Widen the goals to allow some actual scoring. These 0-0 games are mind-numbingly boring.

Sigh.

Its a huge myth that soccer games are all 0-0. Very few games of soccer, at any level, end up 0-0. Or even draws.

Fixing the offside rule would provide a lot more scoring. Even in the cases where the goalie stops the shot there would be an exciting one on one play.

Out of 16 World Cup games played, only two have been 0-0, and one of those was quite entertaining (is a no-hitter in baseball boring?). Even with those two factored in, there's been an average of over 3 goals scored.
