Win by more than five goals, you lose.

    Well, I wouldn't say that is what is wrong with the world. However, the idea itself doesn't make any sense. Children's games are typically high-scoring in any sport, even soccer. A five goal advantage might not be enough to hold on to the lead. So you are saying that no matter what happens, you have to allow your opponent, no matter how poorly they play, a chance to come back. That's ugly. A better rule would be to not even keep score (which isn't necessarily a bad idea, but it does ruin the motivating factor that competition brings), or to have a mercy rule where a score of 5 or so more than your opponent is an automatic win.
     
  3. I would let the other team get to 5, then score in my own goal FTW.
