[quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I ran across this footage on youtube of the West Florida Flames vs Barca Academy Northern VA U18 Garnet.  It was at the Disney Showcase in September.  I suspect it was filmed by the Flames, not by anyone from Barca.

The final score was 1-0, in favor of the flames, but I think it's worth a watch.  [/quote]

Good game, probably should have been 2 or 3 goals for Barca.

Very different playing styles.[/quote]

I've watched about 10 minutes so far, mostly the part between the yellow card (ugh!) and the goal. How would you describe the styles? That was NOT what I would've expected from Barca! The Flames are the ones doing the short passing game. Barca has a lot of sloppy passes and some long, aimless efforts.[/quote]

Disagree, Barca uses almost entirely short passes. They had most of the possession the 2nd half.

The sloppy passing was when they sometimes did send the ball forward. Barca players are much better dribblers and they position well to keep a man open. Unfortunately most of their shots were too high. The flames scored on a broken play, there were a couple of other opportunities but they kept getting caught offsides. Flames were aggressive, I didn’t see any passbacks. Barca passed back a lot. General view: Flames got up the field by sending the ball, Barca dribbled it there.

I’m not very familiar with the club but I liked what I saw.
