Quote: To compare the US to Brazil is also a bit rediculus (common sense in my realm). 2 different cultures, 2 different types of soccer players. And once again, the best coaches (yourself included) would understand the idea of creative play and would incorporate it into an 8 yr old practice. You said that good technique just needs a ball and some cones, but that seems like a very American way to teach a soccer robot, not a creative Brazilian, dance with the ball player.
Why couldn't you compare Brazil - America? They do it better, the best. We should follow suit and not just blame our culture or "soccer player" because we lack "a creative Brazilian, dance with the ball player" like you say. We should learn from them and try to emulate them.
