Suburban soccer parents who don't know shit about the game but yell with utmost confidence are the best.

Real hard foul in midfield: "That's a red card and a penalty! That's a penalty!!!"

Celebrating goalie saves or defensive plays as much or even louder than goals

Constantly urging players to boot up the ball so the forwards can fight for it

I see it all the time. Parents need to learn to STFU. Besides some encouragement on the field I keep my mouth shut and let the coach do the coaching.

Also kickball style of playing is very real and I'm still seeing in even though my son's team moved up to the highest league bracket this season. At the same time they are just U10 and it takes a lot of skill (great 1-2 touch passing, great off the ball movement and strong 1v1 skills) in order to do it effectively. If the kids don't have the skills it's just not possible to play that way. My son's team play 7v7 and has 2 kids that play defense very well. When all the starters are in it's awesome to watch them build from the back when they need to. Even so they sometimes give bad passes and misread a pass into space. Our coach hides our (IMO) most talented player in defense, but you can't really tell because the team is pretty stacked with talented kids. We also have a good coach that focuses on development so that helps and I like the fact that he does a lot of fast pace 1v1 and small sided games in practice.

For an innocent guy he had lots of ties to the crime scene. Doesn't mean he committed the murder. Of course. But an "innocent" person has no ties to a murder scene. He was involved to some extent if not fully guilty. Is that enough to warrant death? Probably not to be honest. But I don't like this "innocent" labelling. I'm completely innocent of that murder. I have no ties to it whatsoever. He did.

Going solely off what you’re telling me, I’d say yeah. I don’t think the death penalty is used enough. Drug dealers, :eek::eek::eek::eek:philes, murderers, accomplices to murders—kill them all.

We can start publicly caning criminals while we’re at it, too.

What the fuck is this? The word “:eek::eek::eek::eek:phile” is being censored on this site?

Had a ref blow the whistle for a foul, and the ball ended up rolling into the goal. He then changed his mind and called it a goal.

I wanted to throw hands.

Yeah, at that age kids just need touches on the ball. Tons of touches, every day if possible. Leave the tactics and physical work until they're 12 or 13.

This is one of the reasons I don't see the US becoming a superpower in any of our lifetimes. We just don't produce enough (any?) real top quality players. And I think a big reason for this is that the American sports model of having little kids go through specialized drills, and to learn tactics and do repetitive stuff doesn't work for soccer. It works for football, baseball, and even basketball, but not soccer.

South American and European countries have already cracked the code. Great players are produced when little kids play at school and on the streets and parks in unorganized games every day (or close to it) for years at a time. They learn touch, control, creativity, imagination and then coaching takes it to the next level when they're young teens. American sports culture is too structured.

If a coach can’t muster the volume to tell my daughter to find positioning or make the right run into space, fuck him. That’s what soccer dads are for.
