I'd be more afraid if your goalie could keep the ball from rolling past him ;)

Now there's a British spillage the US didn't mind seeing.

How the hell has soccer thrived this long with such a stupid offsides rule?

Yeah, because goal hanging would be soooo much better. :tsktsk:

Yeah, that would happen for about 1 day until some team lost 15-2 and realized you have to play defense. The game would play almost exactly the way it does now without an offsides rule (or with a modified one), you'd just have about 800 times more excitement without the plays being called dead everytime a team managed to get an odd-man rush going.
I love soccer, I just hate how (on the top levels) everytime a team breaches the other team's defense there's an offside call. If poaching is an issue (and I doubt it would be) you could always add an offsides line. Any sport where running past the offense is a viable strategy is seriously stupid imho.
