1. Flopping: NFL fans can’t lecture anyone on acting while quarterbacks point at their helmet begging for 15 yards every time someone breathes near them.
2. The clock: Football fans whining about soccer’s clock is rich. Your “60-minute game” needs four hours, 19 stoppages, replay reviews, and 47 truck commercials to finish.
3. Offside: You accept illegal formation, false start, neutral zone infraction, ineligible man downfield, and catch rules written by tax attorneys. Soccer offside is not the problem.
4. Red cards: In football, one idiot can blow the game with a roughing call. In soccer, one idiot can blow the game by getting sent off. Same concept, less padding.
5. Ties: The NFL still has ties. You just hide them behind overtime rules so dumb nobody can explain them without a flowchart.

The 5 reasons soccer won't increase in popularity after the world cup is over.
1. The flopping. This goes against the soul of every American. We value grit, toughness and basically not being a pussy.
2. The clock. No one wants to get to the end of a game and have no clue when it's over. Just stop & start the clock when you need to, like sane people.
3. Offsides. Just put a line out there like everyone else. This floating line you have makes the game unwatchable. It's like a built in, anti-excitement glitch you manufactured for your game.
4. Red cards. What a stupid rule that you automatically get kicked out for the next game for getting one. I can understand suspending someone after a league review of something you did that was horrible. But to automatically get suspended because of what a ref saw at full speed is stupid.
5. Ties. In America we call it kissing your sister, cause that's the same feeling you get after a tie. Pure disgust. In soccer, it seems like the result you prefer most. Play til you have a winner.
@Gdubb1997 I don't agree, but I believe giving 2 points for a shot outside the 18 would spice it up a bit. Also maybe not allowing the ball to go back across the half line without turning it over.
