[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone that talks about “athleticism” as a key factor in being on the A team and therefore being “better” knows next to nothing about the sport.  It’s the American football / basketball mentality being applied to soccer.  It’s one of the reasons our national teams suck and we don’t produce any elite talents.[/quote]
On the girls side it's what college coaches look for. Partially because aggression and power is a shortcut to wins and Partially because posession soccer takes too long and too much resourses to develop.

It's not that people dont agree with you. But if you were a  first year college coach and your job depended on wins what would you do? Hint, the quickest way to short term wins is aggression and athleticism. Also the rules (infinite subs) encourages this type of behavior. [/quote]

The secret that no one talks about is 99% of college soccer coaches’ jobs are not dependent on winning. The colleges just do not care about the record of their soccer teams. It’s nice if they win but they are okay with a coach who has a losing record for 10 years.

Also college soccer is not a high level of soccer. It is basically the same as the ECNL feeder league. College take most all the ECNL player plus GA and others leagues.[/quote]

You are either tolling or clueless [/quote]
