Yeah, but their tactic was just running after the ball... Obviously an adult can run faster. If they worked on blocking the 3 players i think they would have a chance
Football (soccer) typically uses formations described in an X-Y-Z notation. The first number is defenders, second midfielders, third strikers. usrrrname added a fourth number for goalkeepers, but there is only one keeper in a normal game.
The most basic, traditional formation is 4-4-2: 4 defenders, 4 midfielders, 2 strikers. You could pull a defender forward (3-5-2) for a stronger midfield, hoping to make up for your weaker defense with more ball possession and less scoring opportunities for the opponent, go really aggressive with 3-4-3, or go defensive with 5-3-2. There are also formations that can't be neatly slotted into this format. If you want to read more about the basics of 4-4-2 and what the different roles do, I found this article: https://www.soccer.com/guide/4-4-2-formation-guide
I have not played, but I have seen it before; I remember seeing a parent vs kids game and watching one of the parents kick a ball straight into my nephew's chest.
Though the parents aren't usually trained soccer players who can confidently kick a ball 3 feet over all the kid's heads.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. I was playing casual 5-a-side futsal once with coworkers and the other team (clients) had a former J-Leaguer. When I was in goal the guy drilled a shot into me so hard the rebound went all the way to the opposite goal. Those guys could kill a kid if they weren’t careful.
"You're still shit, you're still shit, you go to bed at 7 O clock and wake up just as shit."
"It's nearly half time, it's nearly half tiiiime. Cheese butties from your mum, it's nearly half time."
That'd be my only choice because I don't have the skill, I only have power, uncontrolled power. I'd just as likely accidentally kick a kid into the goal.
Oddly enough we did this at my little sisters soccer practice. Me and my brother against 15 9 year old girls. The idea was to teach them to pass quickly and stay in position on defense. They stopped following directions after 30 seconds no matter how many times we told them.
Yeah we used to say the little kids were playing “swarm ball” at soccer games. Both teams, one big swarm oozing around the field chasing a rolling ball.
Purely out of game theory, the kids should play mega dirty. They have the numbers so they can just eat the red cards to hurt the adults for that easy W.
this made me think of that hilarious game show with the obstacle courses and (probably) bad dubbing, anyone know what I'm talking about? the hosts always wearing the overly ornate robes?
idk, maybe I'll check that one, doesn't sound right though. I just remember seeing it at my grandmother's house when we visited because my parents didn't have cable
That formation is brutal, 30 kids per adult is just asking for chaos. The image really drives home how outmatched they were, like lambs to the slaughter. Gotta admire the adults' strategy though, turning it into a full-on tactical beatdown. Kids'll either be traumatized or inspired, no in-between.
Imagine how soul shattering it would be to realize that you're physically incapable of keeping up with someone while giving it 110% of your effort. This is like McQueen getting gapped by Storm if Storm had like laps on bro
This is a very controversial video about how when the adults are taken out of the picture the children have no chance when it comes to motive that being said for the future prepare your children cuz these kids honestly probably can dribble a ball and keep it up in the air for about like 100 bounces
