Any rituals out there?
Personally I always have to get my music going (before games I listen to techno and some metal) and juggle a ball for at least 15 minutes.
Playing 4 vs 2 keep away is probably my favorite pregame exercise. But basically it's just lots of passing, touches, and stretching.
listen to some music and pass the ball around & take a couple of shots
whatdoesitmatter....the ironic thing about your name is that the answer to your question is "WHAT DOES IT MATTER."
geez man its just a simple question, just interested.
Whereas you listen to metal, I try to listen to something peaceful to help me relax. I don't like playing a frantic soccer game, so I tend to warm up in a very laid back manner.
Mostly stretching for a good bit, pass the ball around with my mid-field buddies, and then play some 5v5 keep away in a big coned off area. Oh, and I always lace my boots up the exact same way.
I listen to techno or occaisionally rap. It all depends on my mood. I also make sure that I juggle.
Its not really a pregame, but I wear a Real Madrid jersey to all the Ben Lippen games...
we try to sacrifice a goat or small child before each game. Oh and we listen to jack johnson to calm everybody down.
We listen to the Disney Robin Hood theme(cartoon one) it sounds wierd but so far it has been good luck
Thats an awesome song chucktown.
i think its funny when schools play hard core rap and then edit all of it and it just sounds like 2 minutes of scratched techno
we used to listen to mortal kombat

I noticed you also have a pretty unique ritual of..not playing. Very interesting tactic Walt.

Worst pre-game ever..
Went to Georgetown.. they were playing O.A.R. ..it was 90+ degrees and the place smelled like feces.
M-I-S-E-R-A-B-L-E
haha cause georgetown is one big paper mill.
but OAR is extra legit. if i had my way.. we would warm up with some bob marley.. some dylan.. dispatch.. ben kweller.. dave.. we would prolly win every game
I wish you could play the game with the music on. That would be fun. maybe run around with an ipod?
we had a discussion about this last year.
how would you communicate with your team while listening to an ipod. think before you post
and i guaruntee your ipod would break because just playing with it on would **** everyone off and make them want to hit you even more.
i like to just chill with my teammates before the game and listen to rock and metal and just playin around with a ball to loosen up.
my friend plays baseball and he has to eat a taco and a coke before every game. but that's baseball.
if we did that, im pretty sure us puking everywhere would make that georgetown paper mill field smell beautiful.
i used to eat sushi before alot of summer workouts
Prayer is the only way to go. And some hardcore like as i lay dying will do just fine no metal though.
