Soccer Change Soccer, a sport that requires, gear, rules, supervision, players, and a ball. It has 8-11 players on the field at all times. The game is usually two 45 minute halves. It has 1-2 referees, and the most annoying rule called offsides. What if soccer didn’t have offsides, what would the game be like, what would change, would it be better or worse? Referees make it so players on the field know what to do with the ball at all times. If the ball goes out of bounds the referee will call it and the ball will go to the opposite team.
