I digressed with the whole FIFA rankings thing. The whole point was, as a newcomer to the SC HS soccer I just cannot understand why the governing body would go so far as to BAN ball work until a set date. Surely it should be left to the discretion of schools, coaches and players.

The whole idea of rules is to prevent foul play, abuses of a given system and to ensure that the common good prevails - I don't understand how this particular rule fulfills any of those.

Another point - the "American way" is answerable for a lot of questionable changes to FOOTBALL (soccer to you!), this rule is just the latest in an already large catalogue!!! I won't go into it for fear of reprisals!!! [Smile]
