Is he being sarcastic or serious?
In any case.. there a big problem with the development system of the soccer players in US and Canada. Everyone a “winner” is a stupid idea which does not exist in European or Latin American youth systems. Soccer players have to start playing on a professional level very young, College development system just stifles this. Part of it comes from parents not taking the game seriously.. part of it is the liberal crap, there is also the attempt to use the traditional American sport system(college) for soccer, which just does not work at highest level.
Not going to go into boring not boring.. but alteast there are no stoppages and advertisement break every 2 mins. Would have loved for someone try that with soccer in europe, would have been an epic riot.
As my old coach said, football(soccer) is like life is unfair and success or failure rests on a split second decision and luck, while to stay in it you got be able to just keep at it no matter what (the whole fitness aspect of having to run for 90 mins)
I think the answer to that is, yes.
...while to stay in it you got be able to just keep at it no matter what (the whole fitness aspect of having to run for 90 mins)
I'd rather watch soccer players be chased by "hockey-mask" wearing maniacs with chainsaws for 90 minutes. Now that would demonstrate some fitness.
Just kidding.
