Should football/soccer rules be changed to make it a high scoring sport?
The lower scoring a sport is, the more the winners of it’s matches are determined by chance. No matter how good a team is, its opponent will sometimes score by chance, not skill. If a match is high scoring, the scores earned by skill will dominate over those earned by chance. Today’s FIFA match is a perfect example. The two teams only had one point each and the winner was determined by a chance-prone shootout. Note that I suggest that more goals should be scored, not that each goal counts more points. For statistical reasons, it might be desirable for average teams to score around 30 goals per game. (30 observations is the number at which the law of averages takes effect.) This might be accomplished by making the goal wider or higher, or imposing additional limitations on the goalie. What do you think? You are an idiot. You are a dumb pig. Go wash yourself. I got two points for insulting you. Yahoo does not care. You are an idiot. You are a dumb pig. Go wash yourself. I got two points
