gumby! I saw you had the last post over here so I had to check out the soccer forum to see what kinda ruckus you are causing this time!

That is precisly why to read about it, (with apologies to those who are talented and enjoy it) those of us who love high school football have watched it invade and take numbers from the sport we enjoy and weaken it, example Elida, once a powerhouse in the WBL, now a doormat! So many schools have buckled to the pressure from mommy who is afraid her son will get injured playing football and put the program in and the school that may not be big enough to do either justice. Soccer use to be a recess game, phs. ed. class or neighborhood fun. Now it is rammed down our throat at every level and it just does NOT have the national interest that other sports have. The world cup, Beckam the womans team was always the thing that would finally take it over the top in popularity, but it doesn't happen. The national interest is just not there!

wow!!! kids didnt want to play football... big deal. let the kids do what they want. lets take a peak at how many kids do one sport even though they could and should be playing two or even three. atleast the kids that play soccer are trying to do something that the love and care for, instead of nothing. and as a person that has played both football and soccer, they are both very physical. just because in soccer you dont just go for the man (all the time) doesnt mean you have any less or greater chance of getting hurt.
if you dont like it turn the channel... no one is making you watch it. just like when i see an nba game on tv i turn the channel. its really tough to move my finger or for some of the old gentlemen turn a knob.

dude you can't see the forrest for the trees. Schools especially the smaller ones cannot have every sport known to man at a varsity level. It depletes everything, soccer has been given every chance but it for the most part has never been accepted in the USA.

You will have to show me where I said Elida was a small school, don't know what you are talking about. I said soccer depleted the numbers in football at Elida and hurt their football program. I also stated that now many smaller schools are now wanting to begin soccer and they are just not big enough to do every sport that someone may enjoy justice.

When, while Elida had soccer have they been a powerhouse? Bluffton has more WBL football titles than Elida. I am not sure exactly what year Elida had soccer become a varsity sport but 1990 was the first year the WBL awarded a league title. So for kicks I went back to 1985 to figure when Elida was a WBL football powerhouse.
WBL Records as follows:
0-9 five times
1-8 five times
2-7 two times
3-6 three times
4-5 five times
5-4 one time
6-3 two times
7-2 one time in 1995
While since 1990 Elida has won or tied for the WBL title 7 times. I do see in 81 and 82 they finished second and first...
Your argument is weak 40time, because the nation hasn't taken to soccer we should just abolish it altogether because it hurts football programs? Fact is many kids who play soccer would not play football instead. The world cup is the only sport to rival the super bowl in worldwide viewership.

soccer is a tough sport..i'd like to see you play it for 80 minutes...and its more physical then you think, in football you get to wear a bunch of pads for protection and in soccer you wear alittle shin guard and trust me if you get kicked there, it doesn't help much and people tend to get hurt in soccer more then football i believe, i've broken two bones in it for one thing

So what you are saying is that you are intimidated by soccer. Soccer comes in and the kids wanna play which takes away from your sport that you wanna see kids play. Therefore you are threatened by i tand do not like it. you want football to remain the great sport at your school but kids are taking an interest in soccer. and previous posters are exactly right. Soccer is more of a mans game than football. Football you wear all that padding and have all that protection where in soccer you have virtually none and people run into each other and knock each other down just as much. not to mention if you are goalie you slide in after a ball with ppl kickign at you and have ball blasted at your face. AND soccer is a full 40 minutes, 10 minute break then anothe full 40 minutes...no stopping. and you are not in one position...a defender can end up playing up front awhile, a forward playing midfield and a midfielder defender...anyone has to pla yany position....and how many people use their feet every day in a skillful way other than walking??? not many...now how many ppl use their hands everyday to do skillful stuff...everybody does....having to use your feet instead of your hands takes a lot of skill....where as all football is, unless you are throwing or catching the ball, is running into somebody else with not a lot of actual talent involved. not saying beign smart isnt involved with blocking and such. soccer you have to be smart and talented to play....football you dont need to be nearly as talented or smart...ive played both so i know. didnt play football in high school but still....soccer is much more difficult...its a great game

Wow i just came across this topic and got a kick out of all the people bashing on soccer. Well said fromthestands, i agree completely. But my question to all you soccer haters is have you ever been to an actual soccer game where the teams aren't like Pandora-Gilboa and Van Wert. Like a PCL soccer game. Those games are very physical and intense. Miller City, Kalida, Ft. Jennings, Ottoville, and Continental are all teams in the PCL without football because they are too small. And i get a kick when people make fun of them and act all big and bad just because they play football. So to all of you people, WHO GIVES A 
THAT YOU PLAY FOOTBALL!!!
THAT YOU PLAY FOOTBALL!!!

I absolutely love the games of Soccer and Football. Actually they are my favorite sports. I find it kind of odd that you can only like one or the other. In some states High School soccer and football seasons don't even conflict God forbid some of these guys play both sports. I found it very interesting back at the Olympics when reporters asked Kobe Bryant (A Pansy Basketball Player )what he most wanted to watch at the olympics and he replied the Argentenian Soccer team. It is amazing though how many people change their opinions of soccer once they watch a competitive match other than what they remember their 8 year olds playing.

You should really watch who you put down on here. Pandora - Gilboa and Van Wert where very young teams last year. VW only had 2 seniors 3 jrs and the rest where sophomore and freshman. PG had 3 seniors , 3 jrs and 1 freshman and the rest where sophomores. My understanding is both of these teams had built this year. 1 team has 21 and the other has 25 so they may surprise you. I know that the one team has like 2 new kids that moved in and played on a D1 state rated team. This should be good because OG is in D3 this year too. Now they play6 soccer....

just gonna throw this out there all the kids that joined the PG soccer team started out playing football, they couldnt take the conditioning or the work and dedication football takes so they took the easier road and played soccer last year and honestly i think its good because a football team doesnt need people that weakly minded, you gotta be mentaly tough to play football and obviously people who cant make it in football turn to socer...
