But most people don't think a good play impacts the outcome of the game unless it results in a score. You hear it all the time in football, listen to what a home crowd does when they're team is behind and calls a run, they boo, they refuse to remember that you run the ball to setup the big pass, their team is behind and they want them to score NOW plays that setup a score on the next set of downs are not acceptable.

I'd scrap the offside rule in soccer because it's so goofy. They need to either make it clear (like hockey's offside rule) or dump it. As it stands it's almost as confusing as football's pass interference rule (which should be killed), rules like that are bad for games.
