[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This misconception of aggressiveness in soccer borrowed from football is why we have kids more focused on tackling the man than winning the ball[/quote]

Tell that to u11 girls teams playing pre ECNL and Pre GA...they play body first then ball (And they don't watch American Football that much). The level of aggression depends on the level of play. If your player does not have the capacity to play aggressively (not talking about fouling the other players here) they will have a difficult time playing at a higher level.  Once players reach u14 and up, it becomes very aggressive with a lot of man marking.  If your player gets bumped off the ball all the time, they are ineffective at playing.  I would also suggest that the most aggressive style of soccer is taken for the English Premier league and not American Football. Also, have you not watched Erling Haaland play? They guy makes his own space by moving the other players out of the way!

Also, have you never been on the receiving end of a 'Hospital Ball'?  If you don't check your shoulder and account for physical spacing you could get seriously injured by only going for the ball.

It would be something if soccer was not a contact sport.... but that is just not the case.
