This article looks at why soccer does not have more scoring and what can be done to improve this. Factors such as a lack of space for players to attack and the physical nature of the game are discussed, along with the impact of the offside rule. Additionally, the article suggests strategies such as increasing the number of players in the attacking half of the field and allowing more substitutions during a game to help increase scoring. The conclusion is that while there is no single solution to boost scoring in soccer, a combination of tactics may help to improve the situation.
