Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do.
Feel free to add your own. I'll give two really quick.
1. This girl I'm friends with on facebook makes a post about how s
When reviewing a restaurant on TripAdvisor, and they ask you to select whether it's "Cheap eats", "Mid-range" or "Expensive".
Then, one of the follow-up questions is, "Are prices at this restaurant mid range?"
They only need to ask once.
That some overzealous mod 20 years ago IP blocked many of the east coast ProtonVPN addresses.
What did that accomplish? Nothing. I guess it does serve as a minor inconvience to some regular users, so there is that, but actual troll posters blocked = zero
A hockey goalkeeper takes up the entire goal space. Yet 6+ goals are regular. Soccer players aren't actually good at the game they play. It's a giant goal with a tiny guy.
You're 4 meters away put the ball in, the net is huge. Again hockey players do the **** regularly when the entire goal is blocked by a guy with 50kg of pads.
Um, good one for thread, I guess, as soccer balls are much larger and slower than hockey pucks.
calibrating for scale of playing field and if attempted by stick or foot shoud inform the required accuracy of your aim

it’s like the difference between shooting a bullet and throwing one
Checking out the frozen meats section at the grocery store and seeing that 85% of the items are chicken or turkey. Take a flying ****!
True, but not once the puck crosses the blue line. In the attack, cherry picking is completely legal.
It would be an improvement! I love it!
I agree. Wouldn't have to be a total abandonment allowing a full-time cherry picker. Instead, maybe the hockey rule might apply, so there's no offsides once the ball enters the penalty area.
lol
And ice, skates, and sticks!
Soccer players aren't good at playing their game.
And they sit on the grass expecting a post penalty for someone stepping on their foot while play is still happening. Putting their team a man down so they can pout about being pro athletes.

the best argument for demonstrating how worthless soccer goalies are is that for most of them, the key metrics used to differentiate them is not their saving ability, which is very subjective and high variance - but rather how good they are distributing the ball once they have possession - is this a guy who can deliver an accurate deep ball?

yes it drives me nuts that goals get called off because the guy's elbow was over the line or someone heads in a goal on a corner kick form 6 yards out but it's called off because it glances off a teammate who was onside on the kick but "offside" once teammate headed it

it wasn't earlier, they had a 2 line pass rule to prevent it, but then defenses figured out a formation that made breaking out nearly impossible which took advantage of the fact that they could only pass the puck for short distances in the middle of the ice
on removing that rule, offense went from 5 goals a game to over 6
what soccer really needs alongside your offsides rule, is to give a backboard behind the net, most shots never hit the target, so even though there's some pretty good long distance kickers, they usually hold and look for something to develop rather than take a long distance shot, which in order to have a chance at beating the keeper means they gotta aim for the edges and will miss a lot
having a backboard incentivizes risking it on long shots because then it becomes a 50/50 possession in a dangerous area rather than ending the attack
we'd for sure see much higher scoring games
Things said in the US that should be banned:

2 minutes if you don’t draw blood.
Soccer has too many fatalities.
Oh, never mind, the guy is now running full speed. All is good

Interesting. I learned something new today. When did the rule change? I remember seeing cherry pickers in front of the goal when I was a kid, though maybe that was when the puck was behind the goal?

The puck behind the goal is likely the trapezoid rule, but that is for the goalie.
The two line pass went away in the the early-mid 2000s.
