[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah.  I’ve given up.

I went back to a Club I used to admire for their style of play- but their U13s now capitalize on 2 giants with long balls to them, or let them just go forward and push through while the players I remember that have great IQ and skill (but actual birth year) have been marginalized.  There is no semblance of the possession style they used to play anymore.

It’s so easy to see why the USMNT can’t qualify for the Olympics.

I get it.  Those kids won games and garner Gotsoccer points, but it’s not the beautiful game.  It’s just ugly.

+1 I can’t stand soccer games that seem as if you are watching kickball. There is no skill involved in this style of play. Play soccer not kickball.[/quote]

I am with you, my kids team made the Jeff cup finals and what I saw from the other team was not soccer. I was  terrified for their horrible way of playing something that it isn’t soccer but yet they were able to win due to free kick on a fake foul.   I guess as far as they follow the rules the team can play 9-10 kids on the back and keep the giant one up front and produce a fake foul. Horrible game, youth  soccer will lose its major fans gradually.[/quote]

There is "beautiful soccer" and "ugly soccer" played at every level of the game.  In US youth soccer there is more beautiful soccer than there once was.  So things are better than they used to be.  And in a big tournament final there is more excuse for playing to win than any other game a team plays.[/quote]

I am the pp someone responded to.  It wasn’t a tournament final we went to a practice and game and it was so disappointing how much they veered off course from what this team looked like early on.  They sold out at U13 for a few kids that look 16/17 and just use them to plow through the normal 12-year old U13s.  I was surprised because there was zero possession style like they used to play.[/quote]
