Soccer needs some rule changes to be worth watching.

Number one on my list would be getting rid of the stupid no-substitutions thing. I am not interested in watching people sedately jog around for 90 minutes, because they know they have to play the entire 90 minutes. Unlimited substitutions, and have guys play balls-to-the-wall for five minutes, then line-change them like in hockey. This is how we played in high school, and it made the game infinitely more fun to both play and watch.

Number two, eliminate flopping. It's just awful. Go hard, bounce off each other, get up, and keep going, don't go down like you've been shot if someone breathes on you.
