Soccer or Football as we all know is not only a game but a way of life in many countries and a culture in so many other nations. The game attracts millions of football fans and supporters world wide in any given match whether its been played live or telecast in England, Italy, Spain, Germany, Asia, Africa, Brazil, Argentina, to name a few. There are countless football teams, squads, clubs, tournaments, coaches and many other officials involved directly or indirectly
who keeps the game going and make sure its been played according to the laid down rules.
The game generates great income not only for the organizers but also to the stadium management and provides job opportunities for millions who are directly or indirectly involved in any particular football season. Soccer has also produced thousands of great heroes and superstarts and has made more millionaires than any sports you can think of. Conduct a survey today in schools and you will find out that all the boys wants to be Soccer players and most of the girls wants to get involved with girls soccer leagues not only to enjoy the fame and popularity associated with the game but also the wealth that comes with been a player. Hardly you find any community without a football club or teams with regular tournaments or leagues and everybody goes hey wild whenever their team wins or loses in any match.
To beautify and add more flavor to the game, the playing time need to be adjusted to 120 minutes full playing time instead of the current 90 minutes, ( 60 minutes each half ) plus injury time. Additional 30 minutes of plaing time would make the game more interesting and will attract more fans, supporters, sponsors, and many more. Fans and supporters of Soccer has been the life wire and intergral part of the game that kept it alive from generation to generation. Without the fans and supporters the game would not be interested and as popular as it is today.
The time has come for the footbal governning body to look back and compensate the Fans/supporters, give them more than they bargain for and take the beautiful game of Football/Soccer to a new level. The best opportunity is to utilize the upcoming World Cup in South Africa to inform football fans and supporters world wide the 30 minutes additional playing time to be implimented in all football games after the World Cup Soccer bonanza.
Playing Soccer/football one hour ( 60 mins ) for each half instead of the current 45 mins would be a thing of joy and excitement to millions of football fans world over and a moral boosting to the players in particular who for sure likes more playing time and the crowd pulling soccer teams like manchester united, liverpool, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, chelsea and arsenal in general whose supporters would love to watch the game for as long as it goes.
In addition, more 30 minutes playing time will make the game more competitive among the teams and allow more reserved players to take part in a particular game. check out the reserve bench in any match, many quality players warm the bench game after game and never get opportunity to play unless injury occures. The time adjustment would not only add more flavor to the game, generate more income to the body and stadium management but would also attract more fans and supporters and the almighty sponsors would love to place more advertisements.
More playing time adjustment is also very necessary to allow late comers to enjoy the game. sometimes people are stucked up in traffic and before they reach the stadium the game is almost over. Most times the queues to obtain football tickets are too long and people are stocked there for almost the duration of the game and they never enjoy fully the game they loved and paid for.
There are many games that are been played for long hours and believe me people due enjoy it most. When people pay to attend a soccer game or watch on Television, they like to be there, follow the game and enjoy it for as long as it takes and don’t care how long, the longer the game, the more happier fans and supporters become and that happiness will continue to linger in their mind till the next game, that’s more reason Soccer or football is No 1 game.
The world No 1 game should be given a new face lift and adding more 30 mins playing time would be a good news to all football/Soccer fans and supporters world wide, a bonus they would love to have after the upcoming world cup bonanza in South Africa.

haha even heitinga could have finished that first chance and hes well shit
Yea this is not high leven soccer. But it’s okay.
wow… mls is south american high school level football…
some of the worst defending i have ever seen!!!!!!
Ask the basketball league if anyone remembers how they got started. The most important thing is going to be finding a contact with the local Referee chapter. Our city runs the league throw the local parks and rec department and they handle the schedule and refs. It was coed and I played on it a lot of fun. Also the park and rec department owned all the fields so having them schedule it was the only way to go. I don't know who owns/manages your fields contact them and see if they are open to options and what they suggest. The number showed be on a sign saying something like use by appointment only call this number.
Bloody ridiculous! Playing 8 on 8 does not make you more skillful, it just gives you more room on the field, and why cut the time from 90 to 60 minutes? the longer you play the better you get, It's good for your endurance. I don't know where you live but in England we play all through the winter. It never killed anyone. Just get the players together and go to the football board and tell them that you want to play the game the way it is supposed to be played, under FIFA rules.
if a same team wins the league over & over again, it's gonna be boring coz all other teams will know that there isn't any chance for other teams to win it. thankfully, the leagues in ENGLAND, SPAIN & ITALY has a few potential challengers for the title. even in SCOTLAND, there is only two contenders, Glasgow's Old Firm rivals, Rangers & Celtic.
didnt see beckham?
watch it again you twat!!!
Becks is a joke! Best before date passed long ago!
Ya poosyoles dunno! Becks is a ledgend
~It is the Engish Premier League. They have the best players in the world.~
That would be impossible. Even if you had a cup competition, you'd get some odd results / upsets. Just try to choose the best organised, best represented teams into the top league and then have a large number for promotion in the first few years to sort out the teams into a good order.
I agree with you on the defense part and the passion they showed…but look closely..out of the 3 goals of LA, Beckham gave the 2 assists..and trust me Beckham is by far the greatest player ever to play in MLS.
They have them at parks and high schools all over the place. just drive around on a saturday mornng and you will see them.
Give MLS a break it was only formed in 1996, is still a very young league and is not a very popular sport in America.
MLS is closer to a second division European league which is not bad for a league that is 13 years old!
There is no one youth soccer league. While most are associated with The American Youth Soccer Association, many communities also offer soccer leagues through their cities community parks and recreation program. I'll talk about the more formal AMYSA because I was involved with it for many years. Normally, when a young person wants to participate, they indicate this during the yearly "sign up" period. These are normally advertised in a local paper, and depending upon the school district, notices at the schools. In some communities, potential coaches gather together and draft the players. In others, the local orgnaization sorts the players onto teams. If the player is older, they may be assigned to an existing team. Unless there are unusual circumstances, the player will remain with this team. Each year the top two teams move up in the league and the bottom two teams move down. In addition to league play, there are also numerous tournaments that extend the season. If a player feels they are talented enough, they might try out for a select team. These are higher level teams made up of outstanding players from an area. These teams will play in a much wider league, often requiring overnight travel. The family commitment for this level is much higher than local club sport. Both select and premier teams are higher than local club teams. Finally, if people recognize a player as truly outstanding, they might be tapped for ODP, or the Olympic Development Program. I hope this helps some
