Well for starters, the game is called football, not soccer.

The term is an abbreviation of association football, which used to distinguish it from other forms back in the days of different rules before the FA was set up.

One aspect of the game is the offside rule, which makes the game better as it stops "goal hanging."

Full stop.

This does of course stop the game from having too many goals and if you need to have a higher score in order to be interested, may I suggest you try and get out more?   

On a slightly more serious note, I accept that the policing of offside does need tweaking from time to time. In fact, I only wish referees were allowed to enforce the rules as they stand rather than how they are told by FIFA that they stand. If a player is in line with the final defender, he should be deemed to be onside, but how often do you see the ruddy flag go up? FIFA obviously think we pay good money to watch three blokes, two with flags and one with a whistle, rather than watch 22 players.

Oh, and if linesmen (NEVER assistant referees) are not capable of running to keep up, replace them with people who are. If offside is to be debated on its merits or otherwise, then at least let us make an assumption that linesmen are in a position to see whether somebody is offside or not? Until they make spectacles that adjust for parallax error that is.....
