[quote=Anonymous]My post was in direct response to the poster who was claiming that this decision makes the US unable to compete at the international level, and turning our soccer into "pussy soccer". So I was saying this: I don't care if you think that this decision to ban heading in children is going to hurt US World Cup chances ~ I'm more interested in protecting my still young children. I played travel soccer from ages 10-16. My Div 1 sport was a different, but physical team sport. Gear that wasn't required when I played (eye protection) is required today. I love that change as my daughter picks up the sport. My oldest child is entering travel soccer next season and I'm happy that this isn't a decision that I have to worry about (in the way that my spouse and I disagree about football, for instance) because US Soccer has laid out these guidelines and made the ban unilateral. If that ban gets extended to older kids I won't care. Context is everything. [/quote]
