Regularly kicking in you yard or in an area really will set you apart from other players in those terms.

Me and a friend of mine often practiced in our gardens through the years and you can tell the differance. I've got close to pin-point accuracy passing and my setpieces and corners are far more developed to many other players...and this is all down to practice in your spare time...shhoting in practice is not nearly enough.

6 years ago I could hardly kick a ball, while my friends were better then me - I saw this and I practiced and practiced, and things have certainly changed.

I actually bought a full size net, with my Birthday money, that I have had hung in between two trees for about 3 years now - its probably some of the best money I've ever spent.

Vanity, your story reminds...
I got my brand new Predator Manias in 2003. I went outside, put them on excitedly, shot and the ball hit my parent's window first time - SMASH! I just fixed it 3 weeks ago!:p

Well I do work on some dribbling but its almost impossible to get a net where I live just because my yard is not that big.Its New York big but not that big really :o

If you're speaking of the volley, hell yes.


Also -- I need some help.

Can you guys brainstorm (whatever comes off the top of your head) argumentative (serious, not soandso team is the most amazing because ____) topics relating to soccer?

I have to write a 6+ page paper on it (which I've had 2 months to do, btw..) so yeah, any ideas are appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

racism in football over the years(argue your side about how they've handled it)

whether they should implement replay or not/if they should put the sensors in the ball to make the correct decision on goals


any american football fans out there? Randy Moss to the Patriots :eek:

[Skizz]

Well, got in from a top of the table clash today. Much like Derby we now have nothing to play for, as the team in 2nd beat us 2-1 and are now unassailable. What was worse was the goal I scored. Corner came in, I headed it off the bar. The ball came back to me, I headed it across goal - the keeper pulled off a stunning save but the ball was on the way in. This FAT ARSEHOLE comes in and thinks its a good idea to plant MY HEADER into his own net, and the ref put it down as an OWN GOAL!! So I am STILL stuck on 13 goals for the season! Fcuk sake!

Hooliganism would be good to cover.

Thats pretty funny actually.

That video was hysterical.

I talked to my college coach, and he gave me the idea of the topic "What is the best youth development system for the future of USA Soccer"... I like the topic, it's researchable (ex top down vs bottom up).. but it's still somewhat tough.

But, for a product that I have to make next year (along with a presentation.. the product must be tangible) I can create a booklet or pamphlet talking about my fake club's training and development missions, etc, what they do.. yeah.

I hate my district.

(I want to give kudos to his other idea, if it could be made into a paper: from the viewpoints of the USA, the Germans, Italians and the Dutch, the best way for each of those sides to beat Brazil in a WC final... that would be fun to write, but it's not really what the district graduation project is looking for - unfortunately.)

Question why do you have to do this report??? :confused:

That Rooney video is amazing that a boy!

Because my school district is stupid, not only do you have to pass 32 classes (actually you only need 28 credits, but yeah, 32 is how many you usually end up taking), but you have to complete a graduation project over junior and senior year.

Junior year, you write a 6-10 page argumentative paper that obviously, you take a side on.

Senior year, you create a tangible product based on that paper, as well as do a presentation infront of a 4-5 person panel about it.

Whee.

Incase anyone wanted to know, while conducting my research, I have found out that roughly 40 UKs fit in the USA, and 231 Hollands fit in the USA.

Good start kait. Baffle them into submission with facts and figures!!

That's my strategy - the same strategy used in youth soccer here - the club costs $3000 to play for, so they must be the best :):).
