SO if you do 3 seconds of googling you find out it's a level 5 league (in outdoor) and this part of the league, is sort of like an addition for some teams. Love how everyone is trashing a bunch of weekend warriors like they should be playing at top level while not getting paid, working 40 hours a week, and have families at home. They guys are clearly just getting out of the house for a few hours a week.
I played in a local league for a few years as a 15 to 18 year old. I played outdoor soccer, hockey, tennis, etc. Very active in my youth. Indoor soccer was absolutely draining in comparison. It's great excersize. Short burst speed and a lot of it.
Yeah, it's like a harder version of basketball if you ask me. I was a college soccer player and I wasn't able to keep up at 28 years old. Granted I hadn't played for about 8 years at that point, but still.
How can this be a national championship? I have a high school team that would torch both of them - no movement off the ball, very little use of the angled back wall pass and the center crashing in, and slow slow slow play.
@@904MarkB well seeing as the outdoor league held by NSL Chicago is level 5 on the US Pyramid, I'm sure very few of the players have time to practice as most of them probably work 40 hour weeks and probably haven't played MUCH indoor soccer. All of the games in this local league are played at the same arena, so I doubt anyone joins this league with the hope to go pro if they are playing in a league that's a non-profit. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Soccer_League_(Chicago)
You have individual skills that i see are evident. But i think this team could improve on its teamwork. Example| making runs, over lapping, constant checking in and making a run, opening up space, etc.
Love how everyone bashes these teams. You or your team might be better, but I can assure you that you'll go just as far as these guys in soccer. NOWHERE.
Kevin Valdez maybe not enough contact for a push but he clearly stepped on his foot and as a result he fell ( in case you don't know you need feet to walk)
LOL @ everyone in the comments pretending to be Premier League footballers, criticizing a group of unpaid amateurs who are just having a little fun in their free time.
