9v9 is played on a larger field than 7v7 so the two extra players shouldn't make the game more congested. I believe there is a new rule this year that if the goalie punts the past midfield in the air it is an indirect kick for the other team.At 9 v 9, final scores will not be as reflective to a teams ability. The same size fields as 7 v 7 but adding 4 more players to the field. I've seen teams pack in all 9 players in the box, and final scores are 1-0. Also, I believe that a lot of mistakes by players are covered up by having 4 more players. Lastly, having goalies punting the ball to the opponents box creates chaos, and doesn't reflect soccer.
