>far higher scoring
It isn’t really; multiplying one touchdown by 7 doesn’t make it higher scoring. Soccer is scored like hockey.
In football it’s for a good reason (we want a field goal to be just a bit less than a TD + extra point) but TDs per game isn’t much different than goals per soccer game. Ref https://wizardofodds.com/games/sports-betting/nfl/average-scores-2000-2020/
In a perfect world, Gaelic Football would replace soccer
