[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s kind of hilarious how self-assured so many parents on this thread are about what makes a good soccer player.  The American UMC obsession with soccer itself is also hilarious.  (Since apparently most of you haven’t noticed, America sucks at soccer 🤣)

But I’m sure when the English Premier League signs kids at like 13-14, it’s only after making sure they can run a mile in a given amount of time.  Probably has nothing to do with experienced scouts/coaches being able to identify an innate talent and having the confidence to know that fitness levels can always be improved...[/quote]

Last time I checked America has won more women’s World Cups than any other country, so if we suck ... we’ll what does that say about the rest of the world?  Yes, our men aren’t very good. True. It’s still easy enough to watch and read about SA and Euro soccer pros and what makes them great. As many PPs here have said, it is not the ONLY thing, but it is a thing.

By the way, last time I checked the Man U test, which comes from Man U, which is in England last time I checked, ends up with the participant running several miles in a designated amount of time. So, does Man U not know what they’re doing?  Are you smarter than that club?  Please educate us oh superior soccer mind. [/quote]
