My take is that scoring has to be difficult enough to make the game exciting but easy enough to happen more than once every three games.

I disagree. The problem with soccer is that the teams don't play to win; rather, they play not to lose. Sitting on a 1 to 1 tie makes for a really boring game. Indeed, I've often thought that points in the standings ought to be subtracted from both teams so that a tie is more painful than a loss.

In addition, all the fake falls and crybaby crap gives the perception that soccer is only one step away from professional wrestling.

You are both correct.

If anyone ever cared to make soccer interesting — they would cut the length of the “pitch” in half.

And boring, as well as full of pussies & drama queens who fall down and pretend to be hurt because somebody brushed up against them.
