[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shirt pulling, shoving, hard contact, and just physical play should be considered gamesmanship.  Trying to intentionally injure someone or cleating someone would be considered dirty in my book.

Absolutely ALL those examples are NOT soccer.

What are you American folks doing to the sport?[/quote]

Yeah, you NORTH Americans.  :roll: Be more subtle, like in South America:

To the OP, there is not a player in the world that is so skilled and athletic as to be unaffected by "dirty" play. I'll say that again: not a player in the world--not Messi, not Neymar, not Ronaldo.

If your DD wants to defend effectively, she'll have to either learn the ways of the Dark Side or find a less competitive level of soccer.

When attacking, there are a few things that can help:
1) Always be in motion, whether on or off the ball. Harder for defenders to get that grip and hide it effectively if a player doesn't stand still.
2) Play the ball quickly. I know, easier said than done. 
3) Work on physical strength, primarily balance. [/quote]
