soccer changed the world

I'm a recent follower of "the beautiful game." I've followed the Barclay's EPL for a year, Champions League, and the World Cup 2006. I would like your input regarding what I think is a simple rule change that would make the game more exciting: Prohibit a player from passing the ball back to his goal keeper. This rule would prevent a situation where a defender, when pressured by an opposing player, makes a cowardish pass to the goal keeper. I think that this rule will make the game more exciting, because it will:
1. force a defender try to keep the ball away from the attacking player. The defender will have to work harder to make sure that he keeps possession. This would create situations where the attacker wins possession and races to the goal. Breakaways to the goals are always more exciting than meaningless pass to the keeper;
2. Speed up the pace of the game. When the ball is played back to the keeper, it breaks the flow of the game.
