[quote=Anonymous]^^  I agree with the analysis of the predominant playing style.  We still don't even train proper possession style.  We still predominantly revert to the vertical physical speed aspect.  I have seen it all of the time in this area.  You can have a very, very smart player that knows where to move and where to play the ball---that can be explosive once he receives it or once he tries to regain possession.  Ball handling remarkable---Clubs will still pick the dummy that runs like a racehorse straight down the field--and he possesses some ball skill as well the deem him the 'future'.  Ball skill is a small part of the equation, but we are in the era that if a kid can do some fancy stuff---even it it amounts to absolutely nothing--he is the best.  He doesn't know when to pass and when to dribble--and constantly dribbles it into the ground--but he is fast and fancy.  Coaches here aren't trained to select and develop players properly.  The attributes selected for in our tryouts aren't the same ones elsewhere in the World.

Coaches can't recognize soccer IQ.  The most valued commodity everywhere else in the World.[/quote]
