Played center midfield and as a centre back when I was younger in my youth days. in high school I played defensive midfield for our team and we did pretty decently, though I infamously did a knee high foul on a rival high school's star player and basically was told to not show up to practice...so that was the end of my career.

It sounds like you were doing a perfect defensive midfielder's job. Your coach must have been poo poo.

Our coach would yell at us if we tried to do step overs and what not, even when it was perfectly warranted and would bench people if they tried any of it in favor of someone who just tried to punt a ball around hopelessly.

Those saves rule, its a great feeling.

When I play out on the pitch, I tend to be an attacking mid/striker, since I am pretty good at crossing and can use both feet pretty well (although naturally lefty).

I am thinking about trying to learn some nice tricks to get round people, since at the moment my entire repertoire is 'slow down, nudge ball one way, nudge other way past them and then sprint after it' which works pretty well since I have a lot of burst speed and can use both sides of both feet.

What 'staples' do you dribbling geniuses always seem to use the most?

knee high tackle.

I hate dribbling cunts.

Just started playing again after a few years of just randomly kicking it around every once in awhile. I was the backup varsity and starting JV (more fun, less pressure) keeper in high school and I'm currently playing with a pickup group on Saturday's. Going to have to find a new one soon though, as I'm heading back to school in a few weeks.

Anybody run such a group in/around Kalamazoo that might need a keeper?

Edit: What are some of the feelings on keepers and height in here? I'm fairly convinced the only reason I was backup keeper for the varsity in high school was because the other guy was about half a foot taller than me (I'm 5"8). Our skill levels were about the same, except he had a bit more power in his kicks and I was a bit quicker to the ball.

Small keepers are at a disadvantage mate.

Any tips on playing a 4-4-3 formation with a flat back four? I've had a year off playing and am finding it difficult to get back into the game properly! I've been a sweeper for most of my playing life and found myself a bit lost as a straight centreback. I'm a bit poo poo at marking to say the least, and in a recent practise match I had quite a few through balls getting past me (and the rest of the defence to be honest) and I'm just bit clueless as to where I should be positioning myself on the field in different situations.

Any gurus out there please get stuck in!

So wait, you play without a proper goal keeper? You have only 4 defenders, 4 midfielders and 3 strikers so do like your defenders rotate who to just kind of awkwardly block goalmouth without trying to hit it with your arms?

Outdoor season is here finally and I'm playing 11vs11 and apparently this year the team wants me to move from my usual holding midfield/destroyer role into a centrehalf because both of our starting CBs hosed off and moved on to bigger and better things. I'm only 1.82m tall and I was wondering if there was any specific things I should be working on because the first team we are playing has a massive 2m tall striker originally from Africa. I know I am probably going to lose out on every single aerial battle but I also am worried about his strength, I'm not the strongest player on the pitch. I was wondering if there was anything I could do to disrupt his game? I already have decided I'm going to do my usual dirty player tactics, step on his feet during set pieces to prevent him from jumping, give him the occasional "accidental" jab in the ribs when fighting for a ball in the air and that type of thing, but aside from being a dirty oval office is there anything like I should be working on to not embarrass myself on the pitch?

Being a midfielder owns you run around all day twatting into people and intercepting the ball and then you make a sideways or 10m pass to the guy who actually is creative and you start all over again.

This, obviously. I also would say communication is absolutely key, though in a 7 vs 7 game I imagine it will be mainly you switching between defence and midfield. I absolutely hate twats who think they are a sweeper and can just sit in defence contributing nothing to forward play, it's especially hilarious to play against teams who employ those types of sweepers and they just play everyone onside.

I'd say for a defence you should be ideally be able to read the game well but since you haven't played in 10 years, just go wherever your keeper tells you to.

playing outfield must be a real anathema for goons. I hate playing goalkeeper because I get super bored and we usually have to beg someone to play goalkeeper on our team. I love playing holding midfield though, just running around and twatting into people is something I take great pride in.

That's why I'm baffled by it. I'm not a clinical finisher by any means, but my shots are usually on target and away from the keeper. It doesn't seem that tough.

I'm way better at heading or shooting when I have time on the ball to place my shots, if I'm harried or anything I tend to lash at the ball and don't really place good shots.
