Not Barcelona. Shouldn't they be a model for how to play the game?...Trusting your game and your skills and your patience? Not just hoping for a lucky break?...Oh sorry... My bad... Classics were the lucky ones.

Really? We're going to compare U16 kids to Barcelona....oh you forgot to mention that the Classics love to play the long ball to their speedy strikers as well. Also, I never said they were lucky. That was a different poster but you can dwell on that if you will.

Do you mean 'every' team or just every U16 Boys team? Is this a universal tactic across soccer? And by long ball do you mean 'wing and a prayer' 50/50 balls through balls or timed passes to teammates' feet or space?
None of this matters really though, does it? In the end it was a hard fought game; a true competition; a nail-biter for much of the time, with some skill and much passion on display by both teams. Did everyone play their best? I'm not sure, but they did play their hardest.
Goodbye.
