Umm... wouldn't an 8-7 game be more fun than a 0-0 game? I vote yes.

Not necessarily. Bigger numbers are meaningless.

Watching a game where nobody scores is boring as hell. I hate soccer snobs who look at a 0-0 game and think the bored among them are "uneducated in the ways of the beautiful game" :roll:
Scoreless ties are boring. For that matter, ties are boring. Even the NHL was able to figure that one out.

would you be bored that a baseball game was 1-0 or celebrate a pitcher's no hitter/shutout?

I don't like the idea of a tie in any sport, so the ties in soccer have to go, but the off-sides rule should remain. It adds strategy to the game, and it adds an increased element of teamwork -- the defense has to work together to execute off-sides traps, and the offense has to use perfect timing and teamwork to shoot through the defense without being offsides.
If you remove the offsides rule, you'd basically increase the value of raw speed while decreasing the value of skill and teamwork.
I much prefer a 2-1 or 1-0 game to a 9-8 game. The game itself is fun to watch, not just the goals. In basketball, each basket is in itself essentially meaningless. Any given play, while exciting, doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme. In soccer, the flow of the game is what you watch, and a goal is the culmination of that effort, not just a meaningless event.

Offside should stay. You'd have a cherry picking problem otherwise.
Henry anyone?
