What they need is a 'shot clock' . You've got 1 minute to take a kick on goal or the opposing team gets the ball.
Nope. Adding rules to force a more artificial style of play is very American sports thing and will never happen. Soccer has a flow which is not always engaging but is always interesting. Hockey and basketball also have this at faster levels where baseball and football have little of this. The flow *is* the game.
