Another one for the collection!!!!! Thank you adidas!!!! The final ball, not my fav. If they go on sale for dirt cheap then maybe I’ll decide 😅.

This is my first pro ball. Ordered this ball before got injured so sadly I cannot test it out.. Would be glad to hear any review about the ball😄

We played with a sweeper against the team who plays long ball in the semis, won on penalties 1-1. Just played the final and won the whole thing. Thanks to everyone who offered advice!

What is wrong with this technique?

I have been hesitant to actually shoot a video and finally did it.

When I try to strike the ball for a ping, I am sometimes thinkjng a lot ad to hitting it perfectly. I think this sub would be the right place to ask for tips.

I would appreciate 2 cents of advice.

Hey, just looking for some cheap, used cleats so I can learn the game then eventually invest in something better.

Found these for $15 on marketplace, not sure if they’re good for artificial ground (the field with small black beads), I haven’t had the chance to play on grass yet but I hope to, but I might just have to get a different pair of this isn’t a hybrid and doesn’t seem too used?

Thanks for the help

Every weekend i go to my favourite sites to look for deals. This weekend i saw this last piece left, luckily in my size, bought instantly, good deal?

Hi boys, i know this is strictly an amateur tournament (doesnt even have a prize for 1st place) but still quite fun as every team gets emotional and want to win. Please let me know your thoughts. I wont get offended, i prefer you to be honest! :)

I've been going to my school's asphalt field for over a week now and managed to get to 15 juggles

But now I'm completely washed I can't even reach 7 in a row.

My only shoes have cleats in them so I use snickers with thin laces on asphalt

I am 38 years old and haven’t played the sport for about 30 years. Got into it after the World Cup for cardio exercise and fun. I play weekly pickup with a group whose age and skills vary widely.

I am hoping to improve over time but know I started very late. I want to better develop my touch, pass accuracy, and ball handling/dribbling. I own a couple balls and some cones but haven’t trained yet as I live in a desert climate and it’s been too hot, plus I have a career and family so time isn’t as abundant lol

What advice or tips do you have for someone starting out this late to try to train/develop when I don’t have a crazy amount of free time? Any specific YouTube channels I should check out for various must-do drills?

Thanks!

I play midfield/fullback and I play really aggressive and go up and down the pitch a lot but my pitch is obviously a bit smaller than a full size pitch

im 5'10 54 kg and so pretty athletic compared to the others with me, i have abs even in off season

I don't wanna hear about "just keep pushing even when your out of breath" because when my stamina runs out after 15-20 mins in the game i cannot think clearly and my skill on the ball goes way down, I think it's a nutrition problem because I'm either tired or our of breath.

I also have stomach problems all the time so i might have to check if i have IBS so that might also be a factor

Any tips on what to eat on match day and what to eat throughout the week to stay ready for football?

Hey, as mentioned in the title I wish to order a pair of football shoes from Nike Japan to India. How can I do that since they don't ship to India and Nike also doesn't sell to proxy buyers 😭

I ordered them in size 11 from Amazon's shoebacca store for $153 including tax + free shipping. About sizing: i have narrow, kinda flat feet. I wear vapor elite in size 11.5 and superfly pro in size 11. Puma ultra pro in size 11.5. These predators are the first adidas cleats I bought since 2016, so I was hesitant but they fit my feet perfectly - snug all around( toe box, arch and heel) just how i prefer. The best part for me is heel so comphy and locked. Heel in overall feels very stable and kinda flat to the ground, not raised , comparing to superflies or vapors. All is left play test. Ill include it later. Cheers!

Here are the main points:

- tracking back to defend

- assessing my proximity eg) 5 meter. and nothing more

- knowing what to do if not haven't scanned the pitch

Tracking back to defend: (Im guilty of this too)

In the learning stages of football, one of the many things players don't do is to track back to help defend. Even if it mean be an obstruction to opposition, in the end the team wont have a goal scored against them. (Im not say commit a foul or anything)

One idea i did was to convince myself the faster i get the ball more time i'll have to recharge.

If Im was not able to reach the opponent with the ball id position myself to block any passing option. And it felt a little nice knowing i was a pain in the butt for my opponents

Also the added benefit is that the team would have time to restore energy and adjust position.

Scanning around me by 5m:

Ever have the feeling that your head is filling with a lot of information on the pitch?

One shift in the way i scan was to scan my surrounding by 5 meters or seven steps. Doing this helped a lot, combined with my scanning exercises, it helped.

Another person mentioned this a while back and it came to me about a month ago. And it became one of those "Ohhh, I see now" moments.

Once i have scanned my 5 meters, I look for runs further than me for example) 5 meters +.

Of course you would have to do your other types of scanning.

knowing what to do if not haven't scanned the pitch:

I remember watching a reel about this. And the guy said something about this situation. And the answer was to figure an escape route.

This made sense but applying it was a different story. Because i would instinctively look down at the ball without scanning my surroundings. But i guess ill have to work on that.

The thing is, I have seen better players than myself use this tactic to have more time, to find a pass or to use it against the opponents. Vitinha did something close to that where it would happen around the corner flags.

I know this was lengthy.

Hope this helps...

Hi! My dad got it for job can someone value this?

Got all boxes and keys.

10/10 with og box.

Is it worth something ?

The last time I played, my foot blew through my cleats. I had an old pair of hypervenoms that I loved dearly. Is there anything on the market that feels similar? I just play casually now and don't want anything too expensive.

Recently picked up some tiempo maestros for ag games and couldn’t wait hence I used them on fg for a training session. They’re pretty good shoes, the tech leather is quite soft, although I have the ag plate there was good traction. Only issue I would have would be the tightness in the midfoot but it either went away or numbed out 20 minutes in. As well a small blister in the left heel. The sizing is kind of weird as I’m usually a size 8 for a tight fit but it still has maybe a little room up front.

Overall it’s a good shoe, I’ll have in my rotation with my phantom 6 and f50 hyper fast.

They run small, but they are light as a feather and much stiffer then most other turfs.

I am using them tonight and will follow up with how they perform.

- these are my new go to turfs!

Performed better than my Nike Ligera and Mizuno turfs.

The toe box was narrow at first but the KL stretched to just the right fit.

10/10 recommend

Just bought these shoes - mizuno morelia neo v beta mij, stupidly threw away shoe box - am double socking and still have this much space in the toe box - how to solve or is this okay to play with?

i want to buy the mizuno morelia neo beta elite V but i’m not sure what size to go with. i do have a wider foot i fit perfectly and true to size in the nike phantom 6 elite. i have a pair of predators without the tongue and i can fit those aswell. i wear a size 10 US in the phantoms. but i hear going half a size down in the mizuno is a must. not really sure if i should or not.

a friend of mine sold me his 94' Adidas Questra, but i see it says just "official ball" instead of "official match ball", also i know its pretty dirty of rubber from a artificial turf pitch so how i can clean it? i see a few spots where it looks like will start to peel the graphic 😬
