[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They would still suck. We don't train properly and the youth soccer system/model sucks. Soccer requires high technical footskill and tactical play. When played properly, it's less dependent on psychical size. In general (a few exceptions) tall men aren't as good because a low center of gravity works best. Imbramovich and Ronaldo 6footers--but 5'8-5'11. Pele was 5'8"--Cruyff was 5'11". Neymar Jr is 5'9". Maradona and Messi tiny. 5'11" is typical. [/quote] And I agree with poster that said travel system model sucks. 22.5 million kids in US play soccer. More than any other sport. Parents are no longer wanting to put kids in tackle football. The pool of athletes is there. He US can't train them because they still don't have a great knowledge ---and they use a shitty model that nobody else in the World uses.[/quote]
