[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I watched a high school game recently. Although some of those kids seems to have great skill, both teams kept on kicking high ball all the time, very disappointing.[/quote]

Were you me?! Just kidding, but couple of kids with skills and coaches who are clueless what to do even with these kids. Parents at the games I watched, sitting around like bunch of grandmas knitting or like it is a funeral. And then you got to HS football games, and realize that people are perfectly capable of cheering on their team and going nuts. Not only that, one dad was cheering passionately(yes, looked Hispanic) and he got loudly mocked by other parents from the same team! Like so he can hear it, and then his wife was all embarrassed and telling him to keep it down![/quote]

There is a lot of cheering from parents and kids at the boys' and girls' HS soccer games I've been to, mostly at Whitman, WJ and Churchill. Those teams tend to have a pretty high percentage of kids playing in college as well, at both D1 and D3 schools. The level of play is good for high school most years, though still a lot more physical than is ideal.   [/quote]

School I watched was Sherwood. If I understand they are second overall in MCPS? Compared to their football cheering this was like zombie land. If Sherwood Varsity is beating the schools you mentioned, and I think Sherwood is bad, how bad is college soccer in US? What do you mean play is more physical than ideal? You mean more aggressive? Or just more psychically demanding?[/quote]
