[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is height important in soccer? Seems like a shorter kid will run faster?[/quote] I have really thought about this - as i have had my son ( 5’ 7”) scouted by two former pros - yet failed to make a single MLS Next or ECNL first team in 5 years. Conclusion? Will sound like sour grapes but so be it: small kids on top teams generally have to pay a bribe. They are targeted for this ‘bug’ since it’s a feature for a corrupt coach. If you have so-so touch but are 6’5” Messi be damned: I can pay my mortgage and no one will blink an eye by selecting big because most American parents do not watch the game. They watch American he-men play football and basketball. The small guys’ families who are athletic, technical - they will only find coaches at top level who take extra fees to play on top teams: euphemism for bribes. We never payed them. Avoid this sport in America. I would say tennis. [/quote]
