[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]France won the WC with essentially nothing more than a rock solid D coupled with a hyper fast transition to Mbappe. Ditto for success of the Reds with Virgil in the back and hyper fast transition to Salah / Mane.

And yet all the snowflake beltway dads here criticizing this style of play and labeling it kickball bc their dna deprived little boys can’t keep up with this style. Keep telling yourself you don’t need to be strong and fast in the long run. Smirk.

I think the problem with this comes when these little boys who play cowardly soccer cannot become men and get their butts kicked by the same U11, U12 and U13 teams from clubs that learn how to play with guts and honor.  Oh and by the way there are plenty of athletic kids who can play all styles, as long as they learn it.

All soccer players, kids or not (big or small) have to be extremely athletic.  I do not think anyone here is saying anything otherwise.  What was said is that some (or many) local coaches solely rely on athletic kids that are big for their age in order to win games without really teaching soccer.  It is a nice and easy shortcut that unfortunately ends up ruining the players no matter how talented they are.    Professional soccer at high level is a combination of IQ and technical and physical ability.  A lot of young American players are missing this IQ part and the top level where the can play is USL.   This is unfortunate since we have so much talent in Virginia alone. [/quote]
