[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone else stated earlier, another veiled Barca Academy advertisement thread.   They are becoming so obvious it’s pathetic. [/quote]

Nailed it early on page 2—impressive!![/quote]

Yes.  It’s amazing how fanatical and machine like the advertising wing is here.  I guess things must be looking down over there and they need new business.  I know a number of good families who have left due to dissatisfaction with the environment and favoritism there.  [/quote]

Again, only you bringing it up. [/quote]

DP. Who cares?  It seems a lot more valuable feedback on the local option then you and your partners feedback that people should enroll because of a Spanish teams success in one game against PDA.

And it is obvious what you are doing.  In this discussion and beyond.  You aren’t as clever as you think you are. [/quote]

No matter how much you want to make this about a small local soccer club the real discussion is about how effective will American style soccer be moving forward as nations like Spain developing kids every bit as athletic as ours?

The PDA game was certainly just one data point but it should not be ignored or dismissed either. PDA did not have a athletic advantage over Barca, so moving forward, assuming European nations will draw more athletic girls into the sport how will we adapt?

Why not stick to that as a topic and stop worrying about some bogeyman at Evergreen.[/quote]

It’s like most of the girls selected for the “top” in the DMV can not play soccer that way. First touch, passing with one or two touches, building and probing while maintaining possession that is not the travel game. Long balls to fast forward that’s the present and future. [/quote]

To claim that it can't be taught is both stubborn and condescending. [/quote]

DP.  I don't think it can't be taught.  I just think that it isn't taught.  That's not the type of soccer that is played in the US.  Of course, any player could learn it if our system of soccer valued it.  [/quote]

Then, the next obvious question is, should it be the type of soccer that we should be teaching?[/quote]

Since it is the type played all over Europe, I would say so. They don't all do it as a tiki take.  But watch the Premier League, the Bundesliga, etc.  So yeah, I think that's why the US lags behind so many other countries. [/quote]
