How to Americanize soccer:
- Change the shape of ball to something more oblong.
- All plays must be set plays.
- At the beginning of set plays, require that all players be on their goal's side of the ball.
- Make advancing the ball with your feet illegal, except under special circumstance.
- Make kicking the ball over the goal worth 3 points instead of 0 points.
- Make advancing the ball into the goal area worth 7 points instead of 1 point.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
