[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem comes in early years.  American coaches want to please parents - pleasing parents means making any activity ‘fun’

My kid was trained in my home country (Germany).  There is no wish for soccer training to be ‘fun.’  It is a Teutonic and highly skilled trade that takes years to refine.

Americans have little to no technical skill.  That’s what I see - sure a lot of pure athleticism but to what end?  Speed and endurance are necessary part of game but without technical proficiency you have your average American high school soccer game.  Unwatchable.   [/quote]

You guys are good. My son has been a diehard Bayern fan for the past 12 years.  However, you never have a Maradona or a Messi or a Ronaldo because it’s all a unit,

My son’s idol said it best:

Thomas Müller: "In Germany, we don't believe in superstars. We are taught from an early age to play as a team, not to shine alone. That's why you won't see many German players winning a Ballon d'Or, but that's also why you can see 4 stars on our jersey."[/quote]
