      Yes.. some schools/towns are full contact as a style ..beat you down and force an error to try to win.. It works when refs don't call anything...anyone remember what a yellow card looks like???!

        They really do not protect the keepers at all. No clue how valuable these players are to the game and the team. It’s stupid how clueless the refs are. Keepers should be protected as without them you have no team.

                why would anyone want to enforce the rules of the game for almost no pay and a ton of verbal and sometimes physical abuse from people who dont know the rules? Not very appealing is it.

                    agreed. but one would think that a girl pulling down another player from behind by grabbing both shoulders and dragging her down would be a yellow?? Saw that the other day in a game

                          Agree. Girls HS and a lot of college soccer is awful to watch. Low possession, bully ball. Very boring.

                            It all starts with the coaches. They are egotistical maniacs focused on one thing. Their records. It’s rare that you find coaches that are focused on teaching the game regardless of the results.

                              Blame the stupid azz parents who push for it. There were alternatives but y’all wanted your kids to enjoy the social aspect of the game. So you have a wide range of abilities and now struggle to realize how and why. It’s ALWAYS been bad hence the push away from it
