Soccer — Football · Fri Jun 13, 01:04 PM
As the last day of my vacation quickly approaches, the end mirrors the beginning; watching soccer. However the skill leave of the two varied greatly as I was watching AYSO championship games and now Euro 2008.
It finally dawned on my why older we, Americans, get less we enjoy soccer… its fun running around chasing a ball. Thats the only reason we played as kids, look at the back yard rules… don’t touch the ball with your hands, get the ball between those two cones you get a point… other than that we just kicked the ball around and ran after it. We didn’t care about dribbling nor ball control skills just kick and run… thats exactly what I saw at the AYSO games, granted they where little kids, but I’m certain the participation drop off exist because of this.
