Does anyone have any ideas on what exactly can be done to improve scoring? I think increasing scoring would take something away from football (soccer) rather t

  The only changes that should be made are in relation to video technology. FIFA should experiment with every refereeing decision possible being able to be analysed/scrutinized/affirmed by a Television Match Official (similar to rugby) and then scale back as necessary. FIFA don't have the wisdom or foresight to do this, sadly. It's badly needed to stamp out cheating, diving, off-the-ball fouls not spotted by the ref, Thierry Henry handball-type incidents, incorrect disallowed goal incidents etc. EDIT: They (FIFA) did try to increase the likelihood of goals being scored in this World Cup and the last World Cup also, by messing with the ball design, making it's flight path unpredictable and therefore more difficult for keepers to save a shot at goal.

  Probably making the goalkeeper unable to save with his hands. To avoid injuries for the goalkeepers you could then reduce the height of the goal to something like 0.7 meters, so that saves would be done with the legs and knees. Then you could bring back the old heavy balls. And then it wouldn't be Football anymore...
