Kick ball is when the team doesn't have the technical ability to play out so it becomes like punting in american football to gain a field placement advantage in the opponents half. Professionals do not play kick-ball that is why they are professionals. They play long passes though that are not always received perfectly or defended/volleyed away, this is not kick-ball this is just soccer guys in this case

Get rid of this thread so we can focus on the separate club drama we have invested into.

Please delete this thread before it's 70 pages lol

A long pass works well against the high press and the high line. It's a counter strategy.

Long pass was never dead it just evolved with the rest of the game as the players on the backline players faster. It is about when to play a long pass and not repetitively, playing that long pass to a specific space or a positional player, or playing that perfect long pass right behind a defender. It's not about kick, run, and good luck.

The ignorant think a blind speculative boom kick-ball and a deliberate well executed long pass are the same things.

A strategically timed long pass over 40 yards with intent, direction and proper weight isn't 'kickball'

Yes it is if they never win the ball and it goes back into their half.

A properly executed pass is received by teammate

Are you new to soccer?

Typical ECNL kickball preparing for NCAA rec soccer.

There's many ways to play the game, kickball or long balls in soccer are a part of the game. It's when it's so repetitive and clearly isn't working over and over and over again is when it's a problem.

Now we wait for you to tell the community who are the current champions using that style and we’ll sit and wait. Hopefully we won’t perish in the process.
