[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As my brother loves to say (he played pro):

Only 2 things you should be doing on the field:

Putting a ball in the net or stopping a ball from going in the net.

If you can't do either, you shouldn't be out there.

Truthfully, as subjective as the sport is ---you are on nobody's radar unless you score many goals or are saving many goals.  It's the only way you get your name out there and one of the truly 'objective' measures out there.

We tell our kids all the time---the kids they think suck (boot ballers)---well they have been lucky with some going in the net which is why the High School coach and travel coach plays them.  It doesn't matter how many pretty through balls you put on someone else's feet or how well you are controlling the midfield. They only care about the points on the scoreboard because that wins the game.  Period. Mic drop.[/quote]

Boy do I not care what your brother said or whether he played pro.  There are plenty of dumb jocks who don't have a clue about the sport they play.
