Real Football – Real Athletes

Athleticism is the ability to perform athletic movements (run, jump, throw, kick) with precision style and grace. If you watch any of the World Cup you will see the height of athleticism. These guys are truly amazing athletes. They must be fast and explosive, they must be very fit to sustain the pace for the duration of the game and for some the duration of the tournament. In addition many of the players who play in European Leagues have just completed a full season which can encompass over 60 games! Shaq could take a lesson from these guys. A hint on watching the games, sometimes try not to watch the ball. Watch what is happening off the ball. Watch how players get in position to receive the ball. I can’t wait to get to England to be able to watch a bit more of the action and the game is appreciated. Let's hope the English team fulfills expectations or the country will be in mourning.

well...they met my expectations. i think that the english team was the most over-rated team in the tournament. americans seemed to think that the english team had a chance because the names on the team were all familiar. serie A, la liga, and league 1 are all filled with great talent...even if they don't get nightly coverage on FSC.

don't get me wrong, i'm a chelsea supporter through and through...i'm just big enough to admit the itallians and spanish are better footballers.

vern, what's your opinion on mark vestegen's soccer program? i'm a competitive player that's been following his program for a year now. it seems to work for me, but i feel like i'm missing something.
