My comment is that kickball sucks.

In my armchair/qb opinion....for this years HS CIF D1 season, It was Los Al who exposed and exploited the weakness in playing boom ball..... Had it not been for JS's gritty, quick thinking YNT Goalie - a set of steak knives would have been the prize (ref: Glengarry GlennRoss - circa 1992)

Who comments on their own posts using a different screen name? Very odd.

Not sure who you are, but you are obviously a troll who has spoofed somebody's screen name. Why not have some balls and post under your true screen name? I know why, because you have been ID'd and don't want anyone to break you off for all of your smack talk.

Over in the off topic threads, we had a come to Jesus meeting this morning and some of us are going to try and be more civil. We will see how long we can last. Feels pretty good so far.

Yeah and Washington plays such a beautiful possession game. Please, all you jokers list 5 characteristics of a possession oriented team?

Is this a test and are you grading it? Washington's coach does coach them to possess the ball. Unfortunately they don't have all of the pieces yet to pull it off. I can list you several teams that play possession. I seem to remember you starting off last season saying that USC was a possession team. Do you still believe that they play possession?
 
This is what possession looks like. The Thorns do a good job of it for the most part. Other than Franch who holds the ball too long and basically lost the game. The U23's play pretty direct.

You didn't answer the question and yes as a matter of fact they will be playing possession. And just for clarification as to one of the 5 characteristics of a possession team - if you can't break a team down in the final third with combination play and some tiki taka you are NOT a possession team. In fact you are a poser. Painting the field for the first and second third of the field and then passing it to a forward that goes 1v1 to goal is NOT possession. Please notice a difference between putting a ball in behind the defender and going to goal 1v1 with keeper vs putting a ball forward where your forward has to beat 1 or 2 defenders 1v1 before going to goal. In my book and the crew I hang with that is not possession. So now tell me who of your several teams play possession?

Lighten up. It's not bullfighting with a dozen media critics at every game criticizing your style. Put the ball in the opponent's goal, and keep him from doing it to you, and the bull ends up dead.
 
I will start:
1. Possession teams do not lose the ball on the dribble in the 1st and 2nd third. They do not typically go 1v1 in the defensive third and only a tad more liberal in the middle third.

Ah espola you have to know the history of the discussion. Everyone gave me shit cause USC won a National Championship and they didn't and then had to justify that it was a crappy win cause we didn't do it playing possession. Or that their particular daughter's team beat SC but yet again didn't win a Natty.
 
#2 Possession teams do not typically bypass the midfield. If they do the ball has a very high probability of being a completed pass to their team mate. It is not a 50/50 ball relying on the team mate to win it or a searching hopeful ball.
 
#3 Possession teams do not play "good defense" so we can win on a set piece or a corner kick. Nor do they rely on flip throws.

Just post the picture of SC holding the trophy....like I always tell my DD. The best way to silence the haters is to win the game!

Hell, 90% of the critics on this forum have never even played the game and couldn't coach a possession drill if they tried.

Hey I like your candor. We will see if USC plays possession fairly quickly. Just off the top of my head, Stanford, Virginia, UCLA and Florida State are all college teams that play nice possession soccer.

Well some have played the game and some know what they saw. So are you saying that holding up a championship trophy makes it all better? I can think of 16 of them that earned it and the rest just road their coattails. Yes USC did win the national title which is the goal. Let's see what they do this year.

USC won the national championship which justifies everything. I can't wait to hear the excuses and justifications when it doesn't work this year. Last year they had a losing record to in state teams. What is your justification for that? Honestly they were a PK shootout away from going home and were it not for some snowy weather (and a team intentionally not clearing the snow and ice off the turf field) you wouldn't even have a leg to stand on.
