Make the players play around and across the hole.
Adding an element of adventure might make soccer games interesting.
Probably not but worth a try

You are not allowed to have nice things in Illinois.
Putting green for a giant.
National Corvette Museum -- situated on vulnerable karst land, and low groundwater under the building:

NOW will you deplorables admit you need to give up your gas-guzzling SUVs and help us save Mother Gaia?
Truly, the centre cannot hold, live.
Wow, the India bots are upset Illinois is getting attention. Look away, look at Indiana!
That'll buff-out. No problem.
Play on...
Is there and elegance to the very circular quality of the hole? …and yes, a bit of titanium paste around the hole makes for a lovely putting green for King Kong and the jolly green giant…
And just yesterday I was fielding complaints about chipmunk burrows too near the garden, I should show her that.
That is the most symmetrically perfect sinkhole I think I've ever seen. Almost perfectly circular...like something our of a bugs bunny cartoon.

Ha!
"The ball's spotted at mid-field and it's third down and 4, and when I say DOWN I really mean it!"
About 10 years ago, I came home from my walk, and I could only see the top of my container containing my tomato plant which was placed right off of our patio. Turns out, it was where an old septic tank was back 40 years ago, and the top rusted and caved in because back then they didn't fill them before abandoning them. Then, a year after that, when getting a new cement driveway, they discovered another sink hole where we usually park our car. We were lucky both times. Don't have ANY idea what was buried under the driveway way back when.....
That's not a sinkhole. This is a sinkhole.

Or one helluva divot.
I'm going with "Never happened". Cheap AI fake video.
Lake Peigneur in Louisiana was swallowed by a salt mine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Peigneur
We have potholes in PA larger than that.
The music for this video is absolutely in appropriately paired for how terrifying sinkholes are.
More proof that god hates futbol.
Interesting sinkhole, obviously a very shallow mine to make such a deep hole. The soil must have been dry and a roof collapse caused the soil to flow into the workings like a funnel, thus the round shape. No rock ledges exposed.
Probably a very old mine section that has had lots of water flowing into it for years, probably long mined out and left behind since before the soccer field replaced the old farm. Looks like everyone conveniently forgot it was there.
Extra quality points for sucking the astroturf and light pole into the pit!
you KNOW what's causing this! GLOBAL WARMING!!
MAN MADE GLOBAL WARMING!
until a hundred years ago.. There wasn't a SINGLE video of a sinkhole showing up.. NOT ONE!!!
WHAT MORE PROOF DO YOU SHEEPLE NEED??
(now, Please; someone call me a 'brainiac' because you don't understand sarcasm)
If this were on a golf green it would help with my putting...
'Putting green for a giant.'
Sorry, AA, I didn't see your comment when I first posted, but slightly different joke.
But I will send you a royalty check upon demand : )
I wish my turf grew that strongly.
Mine subsidence is a real issue in Southern Illinois.
I bet they knew an old mine was there and just hoped this wouldn't happen.
Good thing no kids were on the field.
That's one way to make soccer interesting.
This is brutal:

And that's soccer will never make it in America, kids.
