And, this is how stupid the guy above sounds thinking NFL players would be great at soccer.

The fact that all these kids are very interested in playing soccer and convincing their parents to pay $3k a year to play for a mediocre "travel" team with a mediocre coach (often unlicensed) is a win. The more kids are out there kicking the ball, the better. We have to be optimistic.

Freddy Adu had great potential but his mother messed him up. He did not allowed him to go to Europe. But anyway, that is a different story.

Here's to hoping at some point we stopped treating soccer like American football in this country.

If the “technical” kids are getting destroyed by the bigger kids, maybe they are not that technical or good.

If you don't know why a U11 team with bigger, stronger, faster early bloomers can kick and run past technical smaller kids then you probably shouldn't be commenting

Enlighten us.

You may be the only person on the entire DCUM who doesn't know the early bloomers physical advantages at younger ages

that’s not an answer.

I would take the bet on a technical team over the bigger faster kick and run team all day long.

You made the comment suggesting a thing to be true, I don’t think that thing is true. Maybe you’re using “technical” as a synonym for “sucks, but the parents think they’re amazing.” But when I think of technical…I think of accurate passes, getting split, wingers with chalk on their boots and backs on the touch line, making runs, overlaps, dummy runs, etc… those sorts of teams tend to crush the kick and run bruisers…but maybe you meant something else by technical?

You're practicing romanticism

We all see and know in younger age groups, teams with bigger, faster, stronger early bloomers have advantage to winning.
This isn't about who has better style of play or better development approach.

You’re watching the wrong levels of soccer…the fat middle tiers aren’t technical teams, not even close. And yea…kick and run works there…because you can’t win soccer matches being half anything.

Like I said suggested yesterday, I think your definition of “technical” team isn’t really what “technical” means in footy. It appears you just mean, “small and can send / receive a pass.”

I think your version of “technical” includes the kick-and-run / boom ball teams in this case if you really think about it.

Oh, we didn't realize you're referring to the technical U10 teams playing in La Liga and Premier League

Let’s review. This started with you saying the best ECNL teams were good because they were bigger not more technical.

Then you pulled back to U11…and now U10…

There are most definately U11 or U10 teams that are highly technical and can run circles around other teams despite size.

Go to the United Futsal event in Orlando and the u9 top bracket had some amazing technical teams - none of them were giants. Many of those teams are also outdoor teams - and they’re at the tops of their tables and leagues.

You’re just watching the wrong soccer teams and tiers mate. But you’ve got this idea stuck in your mind that just isn’t true unless you mean something different when you say “technical team.”

Not PP, but there is nothing before this where someone was arguing about the size of ecnl players

Seems you made that up to continue your silly point

Technical means players on the touchline? What does technique have to do with shape? Kick and run teams usually play with wingers, right?
