[quote=Anonymous]Part of the problem too is that not enough teams focus on conditioning, cardio and calisthenics. Fitness is a huge part of the game, and although there's lots of teams that want to play a possession-heavy, high-octane attacking style, they're physically unable to do so, at least not for very long, and they tend to crumble under high pressure, are unable to win headers or 50/50 balls, and just get manhandled by more aggressive teams. Physicality needs to be embraced by these teams, as many of them are unable to keep up with the philosophy once they're uncomfortable. Soccer is a game meant to be played when you're uncomfortable. When you're sore, tired, beat up, out of breath, that's when you need to push yourself and find an extra 10% of effort to give. We need to encourage players to be physical, to be strong on the tackle, to be fearless without being dirty. However, as many of you have said, it's easier to just tell your guys to hoof the ball and run after it, but that won't put the US in the higher echeleon of the soccer pantheon.[/quote]
