Re: shool match .....
why do you think our academies are full of foreign players, its because we are not coaching our young players at grass roots correctly and it goes back to long throws and lump it up the pitch win at all costs attitude
kids at u9/10/11 should be given the basics as i have said in an earlier post, let the ball do the work and work hard
there is a distinct lack of quality English players coming through trust me and we are miles behind spain, if they were to lose xavi or innesta they can call on fabregas, alonso, arteta and these are just a few i know of, if england lose rooney who have we got heskey/crouch it does not compare
look at our recent home defeat to greece at U21 level , i will give you another example England U20s 0 Ghana U20s 4
there were 6 city youth team players in that U20s squad and i watched the match it was like watching men against boys ghana were technically far superior to england and it is all to do with the basic principles of football being instilled at the right time, watch out for ghana in the future they have an exciting group of players coming through
football is all about fun for kids and should be like that but the lump it, long throw stuff does not belong in my eyes on a U9/10 or 11s pitch<br /><br />-- Fri Mar 12, 2010 11:35 am --<br /><br />
