Yeah... my thought was to buy two of the sets to get two more "kicking stands"
and one more extra minifig for each team. The small field square can go back
in my loose parts bin. Integrating the larger goal (with what appears to be a
goalie with more movement) from the Shoot and Score set might make things
interesting with a bigger field too.

Here's an interesting idea: it would make the game go longer, but maybe you
could have a "halftime" when one player gets to 5 points (for a 9 point game)
and rearrange the players on the field at that point? The player who didn't go
first when placing players at the start of the game gets to go first at
halftime, and the other player gets the ball to start the half.

The problem we had with shots like this wasn't defending against them, it was
telling whether or not they actually went in (which is a good argument for your
"ball must stay in the goal" rule). There's a reason for having a soft mesh
net in the goal in real soccer... it stops the ball when it's in the goal and
balls in the goal stay in the goal. With all the bricks in the back and sides
of the inside of the goal, we had several shots that we were pretty sure went
in, but they bounced out so quickly it was difficult to call if they hit the
side of the goal or the back of the goal. I'd like to experiment with
redesigning the goal with more mesh netting and fewer exposed bricks.

Maybe not on *your* planet. :)

Except that you want to avoid making every shot a penalty shot. A terrible
"overkill" solution would be introducing a shot clock like in basketball. You
could use those little clocks they use in chess matches and hit the button on
top after every turnover. :)
