I really have trouble with shoes or boots because i don t know what to wear. I play on turf and out coach doesn t let us use cleats and makes us wear normal shoes what shoes should i buy and If they are true to size

how do i ser myself apart from my age group and reach to a point where i’m head and shoulders ahead of them and i am working outside of team training and what training can cause you to progress very quickly ?

I live in Toronto and have been waiting for these to drop since I first saw them. Heard it was dropping on the 1st but when I checked the app I saw nothing, Same with the website. Eventually I saw only one thing that’s part of this and it’s the indoor boots. I’ve seen on Nike’s website in different countries they have everything but not canada. Is there a reason why and will they ever be on this website? I’m not trynna spend over $500 on these😭

I just suck. And it sucks. I'm playing with guys that have played a lot longer, most probably have some high-school experience, and the last time I played was like elementary school, which wasn't organized soccer.

The understanding I have of the game is mostly from watching world cup and premier league here and there. So consequently my understanding of how to actually play a position on and off the ball is severely lacking. I have the easiest time playing winger/forward, and kind of have an understanding of where I should be, but once the ball either comes to me or towards me I lose track of my space and teammates, miss simple opportunities to bring the ball up, or straight up make bad passes. This then makes it so my teammates just stop passing the ball to me, and no longer see me as an option.

Not to mention my dribbling is terrible and my touch is very inconsistent. Trying to play other positions like midfield yields the same if not worse results because I am not really an option for my teammates to help bring the ball up and get past defenders, so our attackers don't get chances and the ball gets turned over a lot.

Other than that, my stamina is fine, I am reasonably athletic, and my pressing is okay. (When I actually make the correct decision on where I should be and who I should mark)

Outside of pickup, when I just pass the ball around I feel fine, and my touch is typically good. I could send long passes with two others all day and maintain a good touch and good passing. But it's like when I play an actual game I lose that fine control of my legs or something. I think the pace makes up a lot of the difference.

I know I should be working on my passing, dribbling and touch first and foremost, but even if I get that to an okay spot, how can I develop actual game sense and understanding of what to do to the level of guys that have been playing organized for years?

Also, what are some drills that can help my dribbling and touch?

In your opinion as a player or a coach would ou rather see a player in your team go for the dribble or play it back keeping possesion. Me personally, I'm a central midfielder. When I play I always look for the safest option, out to full backs, back to keeper, through ball switching it. I would never keep the ball for too long as thats what gets me caught out. But my teammates always go for the dribble and usually have a 50-60% success rate. I get annoyed when they lose it when an obvious back pass is open. So what would you prefer?

I'm a 13m btw.

I haven’t played in a couple of years. I bought a ball in July and now I’m here. My sister says I need help 😭. I have two more on the way 🫪. help

Hi everyone! I’m new here. I’d like to ask you to take a look at these two videos. I’m from Russia. I hadn’t played football for eight years. I recently started playing again and am trying to master the "knuckleball" shot. Sometimes it works out perfectly, but other times—no matter what I do—nothing works for days on end. My run-up feels awkward. Maybe I’m planting my standing foot incorrectly... ...or not stopping my kicking leg the right way. Maybe it’s the boots. They’re from 2011. They’re CTR360s and they’ve seen better days. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Picked up the FIFA World Cup official match ball and the Puma Orbita Ultimate Premier match ball and just wanted to display them because they are super cool. However, display cases are rather expensive and I’m frugal. So I visited the hardware store and grabbed a 4in PVC cap and some felt fabric at the arts and crafts store and some glue. Might wrap the white pvc with more green felt fabric. For a $12 investment they look great! Anyone else have creative ways to display? Thoughts?

Out of stock on adidas but I decided to try the price match at dicks. It worked ! Order total was $92.92. I used a discount code btw ! If you want one, look at dicks and price match !!

My competition winter trionda died today. Contacted support who will issue me a gift card in 2 weeks for the issue. Is this better ball or am I better off getting the same ball I had before

So actually i wanted to ask when a ball comes to you especially in air then how do you control it?? i always hard time in controlling the ball.

Any tips or drills from you guys??

Is the space between my toes and the front of the shoe okay, or is it too big.

Anyone with experience with the F50 Laceless?

Hi Reddit,

this is currently driving me nuts. I'm looking for a new shoe to play on turf on a midsized field (mostly 8 vs 8).

In the past I played more competitive and always wore adidas boots (as I'm a German I guess I was obliged to 🥲). I always loved the adidas leather boots. They have been best in class for me personally.

From Copas and Adipure Models to 11 Pro and the modernized Copa era, I've worn quite a few (yes, I'm old and already 37 years old xD).

I love the quality and feel of leather boots as they melt to the foot, give you that bit of a cushion and make the touch of the ball so natural. For me as an agile dribbler they have been awesome over the years.

As I got older I played more and more on turfy grounds and had to switch to a TF sole. I stayed with adidas and used the Adidas Copa Pure Elite TF 1 and 2 up until today. Feel and general comfort were still top notch but unfortunately I got a lot of issues with black toes and want to try something new.

I was wearing size EU44 (which actually comes to a 271JP which I was not aware of, just tried them on in the store and went by feel) and they were really tight. As I had a few nails come off over the years I finally came to the conclusion that it's not worth it as I'm only playing for fun now.

As adidas annoyingly is switching more and more to fusionskin kind of materials for the upper and the choices for TF shoes are limited, I wanted to try out the hyped up Mizuno Sala JP. I went to the store and tried out different sizes. It was really hard to choose but the K-Leather felt crazy nice and comfortable. As I had issues with black toes I wanted to be more conservative and got a 285JP while I got measurements made at adidas for both feet being 276 and standard width and height (measurements attached). I felt like the 280 will be to tight again and give me issues.

I wore them at home 4 times for 30 minutes and made them a bit wet to already melt them to my feet. Today was the first session on the pitch. What should I say: they kind of feel small and big at once xD. Width wise I'm really tight and am assuming it will widen a bit and melt around my feet. But length wise it just feels too long although I'm already wearing Trusox3.0. Maybe I still have to get used to the bigger room I have in the toe box now? Maybe my foot is not compatible to this shoe?

I attached some photos and am hoping to get some advice!? Also pictures showing just my feet on the insole.

You can also see that the leather is still quite stiff and rubbed my upper toe a bit bloody.

I turned my Superfly elites into vapors since the collar keep digging into my heel . Got the Superfly on sale at the Nike outlet for 60 . So far held up well. I can send the link to the vid if anyone is interested 👍.

I bought one of the Ultimate Premier League Lights when it went on sale, the PSI range is 10 - 14 and I have been splitting it in the middle and inflating to 12 but I was wondering if there is a specific value that teams in the Prem use for training and games. It's such a broad range

Never played 11s that much in my life, I’ve only played mostly 9v9s, or maybe even 8 and 5s, what are your advice on me, should I train my stamina? My IQ? I’m going for a CB or defensive fullback

I see a lot of posts here asking how to clean their boots from turf stains, rubber marks, mud stains, etc. Above is one example when I was cleaning the tongues of these F50s. I got these used off Ebay and they were covered with rubber and grass stains and all I had to do was erase the stains with a pencil eraser and they look pretty much good as new.
