[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Put aside youth vs. adult soccer.  The limited substitution and no reentry rules are the dumbest rules in organized sports.  Period.  It's why we have PKs in tournament semis and championships.  It would be a much more interesting and challenging sport from a coaching and strategic perspective if you use multiple rotations and respond promptly to what the other side does with its own rotations.[/quote]

You've already got a sport for that, called American Football.[/quote]

That’s ridiculous. I grew up playing every soccer summer in the UK in a very traditional environment and coming back here and kicking everybody’s ass  I had the benefit of playing and knowing other sports as well, though. My preference on free substitutions comes from basketball, not football. Put aside the idiotic “because it’s always been done that way.”  What’s the reason for the substitution rules in soccer? Do they make sense?  Why?  Would the game be better with different Substitution rules?  Would basketball be better with soccer’s substitution rules?  [/quote]
