Greek children score amazing team goal - video | Sport | guardian.co.uk

Nice.

 

[Woodchip]

And people say building from the back doesn't work

 

[gripper stebson]

...and not one Dad shouting 'HIT IT LONG!' from the touch line.

Great goal but the other team are proper bad at tackling.

Like watching us on Saturday!

To be fair, its a fairly decent goal, but the other team are balls at tackling, the keeper should of done better and WTF was the keeper doing a Cruff turn on his 6 yard box for.

the shame of it though is, they are obviously taught how to pass the ball, but what shit facilities they have to play on.

Wow.

This was posted last night so I shall post what I posted then.


Unfortunately if that was in England you would've heard one of the kids dads screaming for his son to "do him" or you would've for the duration of the 1 minute video seen the ball launched up field for the fast kid to chase.

This is true (to some extent). The u9 team my son plays for, always build from the back and I'd say 9/10 teams they play launch the ball for some goal hanger to chase.

It's amazing to watch u9s pass the ball around confidently though, and yes I am convinced it is the way to play football.

They were helped by the CARPET like playing surface though...

It doesn't matter what the other teams tackling was like; the players moved into space, they were always moving (unlike Brighton), passes were max 10 yds, even on a dodgy pitch control was good, passing was to feet, need I go on? That was excellent and should be encouraged. Maybe this video should passed on to the likes of Alladyce!

It 100% is the way to play, the only way our prowess as a footballing nation will ever grow is if some hard decisions are made with regards to how players in their formative years are coached. As you say your sons U9 team play good football but 9/10 of the other teams don't there is surely something wrong with that.

Superb stuff. Like a load of little Gary Dickers. In England there would be absolute PANIC when the defender passed it back to the keeper, and probably a rollicking for the defender, and also the keeper for passing it rather than hoofing.

They're just so much CALMER. I think that's the key.

If you're too calm in English football you're seen as "lazy" or not "wanting it" enough (Berbatov, Murray). You have to run around like an idiot, and whoever runs around like an idiot in the most successful way is the best player.

Playing in Orange surely compare them with the dutch!

 

[half time scores]

Bravo

Maybe we should start shouting this!

 

[W.C.]

yeah but it's BORING

 

[chucky1973]

excellent, and there ground looked better than Selhurst

This. The defending team are just trying to attack the player on the ball without even considering who he might pass it to. Terrible, terrible closing down.

The Alladyce team that outpassed the Albion at Upton Park last season?
