Good call Cumbyboy and you too Antipasto (again)cumbyboy wrote:in my opinion, a soft player is one who wont attack the ball, wont go in with a physical tackle and try to get the ball, but will sit on the outer and wait to see if the ball comes out his way. one who wont chase a ball down, and wont use his body as a barrier between ball and opposition, wont use his body as a shield where neccessary.
alot of the players I have seen tend to avoid the physical side of the game and even cringe out of the way of a hard ball or body contact.
whatever happened to good old "attacking football" why is it going to a pass back, keep possession avoid agression style?
Having seen a couple of junior players sustain nasty injuries your definition is correct, win position, get possession.
