I don't think so, the number of goals has been pretty stable (e.g. for FIFA world cups it's a stable average of between 2.5 and 3.0 since the 1960's). The story is similar in most leagues. 2.5-3.0 is plenty, I wouldn't like the sport to transform into something where you have 4 or 5 goal averages, it wouldn't become more interesting because of it. Anyone who enjoys football should enjoy a 0-0 or 1-1 draw as much as a 3-3 game otherwise it's just not their sport.
