It's not primarily about scoring!
Now I understand that those who have never played or even spent a lot of time watching with folks who understand the sport are partially blind to its beauty.
But truly appreciating the sport is about the whole field performance, including individual skills and reactive strategies by the team.
Think making love, where a fixation on scoring (orgasm) ruins the whole experience, which also involves individual skills and reactive strategies.
Just as there is no need to change love making to help those suffering from premature ejaculations, there is no need to change soccer to attract older Americans.
The young are already aroused.
