Yet the funny thing is that when England were going through their pathetic spell during the period of 1992-1996, players and pundits alike were trying to analyze the problem. Why did ENglish players depend on the long-ball? The analysis offered by Gary Lineker was that English kids played organized matches on large pitches and that instead of learning to pass the ball intricately like their continental counter-parts, they would just hike the ball up the field and henceforth the long-ball epidemic.

Interesting observation. When I was a kid in Korea, we used to play in the alleyways (golmok), and we got to be quite good at bank shots off the wall. Indoor soccer league here we come! No slide tackling though, if you wanted to keep your shins.

Sorry to be going on so much but thought this was worth mentioning.

My bedroom window looks right down onto the soccer field at Anyang High School (so Essvee now knows where to aim for ). It's the school where Lee Young Pyo went. And they are seriously into their football down there. EVERY single night the lights are on (except sundays) and they are playing or training (like now). The trainings are really well organised which is good to see first hand. A real little breeding ground.

perhaps I should take some notes for my teams training. Boy are we a laugh. 22 left feet.

How do you post pics on this site so I can illustrate?

Youth development, international experience, geographical reasons, grass pitches, and ect would be a great start for Korea's redomination in Asian football but I would like to suggest that more interest in the damn K-League would be a better start (yes im talking to you...you damn balloon heads playing with your computers at work on the third floor of the KFA building that don't really do ANYTHING for KOREAN FOOTBALL AT ALL! DO SOMETHING NOW!...and also you coporate animals that want to sell teams like Bucheon...you guys ruin everything!!!).
