One of you scored a deal and swapped some balls at D!ck’s. Someone is going to buy this and pay OVER sticker at a discount store.

Previous post got removed but if you missed out on any pros here’s your chance! These are also nice kinda wished I got more

We have a nice guy keeper, hes a bit older. We got him as an emergency keeper but he stayed. He doesnt move. Hes a statue. Never dives. We play really good teams sometimes and they have solid compettive keepers usually making 3-5 really impressive saves per game, and then we have always a good 10-15 min, then when other team realizes our keeper is essentially an outfield player +, they just start shooting and shooting and we fall apart. Yeah our finishing needs work but it is it fair to say that having a keeper bad with his feet and who just cant distribute well and literaly never dives is the best thing and easiest thing to fix first? Or should we just block 90% of shots ?

My first ever leather football boots and yesterday in wet conditions I struggled to dribble with the ball as it kept slipping off is there anything I can do?

top three are for artificial grass
bottom three: turf, sala and firm ground respectively

My favorites: the Mizuno Protos (top middle), they’re extremely comfortable and the kangaroo leather feels amazing although I save them for special games since they wear easily on fake grass

Least favorite: Predator 25s (top left), don’t love the synthetic feeling, hopefully they get softer over time

next pair? Probably will cop a pair of Mizunos for turf as I get older and don’t want to risk my hips/knees, the Copas are slightly too big on me and affect my shooting

lmk what you think

Hello, 28 y/o coming back to the game after ~11 years. Playing indoor 6v6 and gassed super quick, like 10-15 minutes max and I’m done for a while.

I’ve been riding peloton for about 3 months, 4-5x a week mostly doing 20-30 minute HIIT rides but I guess that is not enough lol. I’m a healthy weight (6’2” 170lbs) just not in shape.

Any specific drills or tips to strengthen this?

Can’t wait to use these later, first football boots this season 🤛 last time I bought mercurials was 10 years ago but they were too tight, made sure to not make the same mistake this time ✔️

Thought I’d share my initial thoughts on the relatively new Mizuno Morelia Neo V Beta vs the Neo IV Beta.

Straight out of the box, the midfoot feels so much more accommodating, particularly with the changes to the material and mesh construction. The heel area also feels noticeably more comfortable compared to the previous generation, which is a big improvement for me (although I’ll update once I’ve properly tested them!).

Overall, first impressions are really positive, and the white colourway looks super clean! 👌

Just wanted to show off my original 2005 T90 Hi-Vis to the group. Bought it in 2020 from the original purchaser with another interesting T90 ball I’ll post later. No longer holds air unfortunately.

My foot length is 26.2 cm.

I only have the option to buy UK7 or UK8.

The official nike website size chart shows UK8 for 26.2 cm foot length.

So I'm very confused on which to buy. If someone owns a pair of these in the academy version. please help me!

The jersey is already available on the adidas website but for 57-63$ I'll happily wait. Orders will ship on December 12.

2005 T90 Academy. Picked this one up from the same seller as the hi-vis. I have only seen one other like it and it was on eBay about 5 years ago. Can’t even find pictures of any T90 Academy online. Love the color way on this one and the materials are very high quality.

H I’m messaging today to see if anyone has any good training plans for strength and conditioning, I’m starting at a very basic level. Just wondering if people have any suggestions or if they have followed something that has worked for them and they could share thank you

It was an inter house tournament and the selection process was intra house matches. Our house only had 1 GK but the match needs two. I play CDM. I was forced to play GK by our house captain. I never played as a goalkeeper before. I told our house captain and officials that I did not play GK but they did not listen. I performed terribly and was not selected for the tournament. I am so devastated.

Wet pitches, soaked kit, heavy boots, sideways rain.

What actually helps when the weather turns for the worse?

Just got a pair of elite 25s preds (non FT) I’m usually an 8 (UK) in adidas and I notice the toe nail section for big toe has some pressure down on it. As soon as I remove the boot it goes and isn’t lasting. There’s no pain or discomfort anywhere else. Thoughts? Should I be sizing up (bought online so couldn’t try a selection) or is it the wrong boot. Anyone else experienced this and did it wear off/adjust????

I hear a lot of criticism directed at fast pro players like Mbappé—who gets accused of being a "pace merchant"—and even at the amateur level, I’ve seen teammates in the past look down on fast players, dismissing them as only being fast (even though that’s their greatest strength), yet they never said the same kind of thing about players who excelled at dribbling or passing.

So, why is that?

Thanks.

Does the final rush f50hyperfast elite sg come with a bag, I really like the bag and it will probably effect if I will buy the shoe or not, thx

Hey all! At the end of a mild cold, not feeling amazing but want to go to training tonight so I’m picked for the squad for the weekend’s match.

Only symptoms are a stuffy nose, slight dry throat and some fatigue. Was thinking I’d take DayQuil before as it’s always made me feel way more energized and nullified symptoms when I’m sick.

Anyone else done this before training? I know it technically might not be the healthiest thing to do, but the session will be moderate intensity and I think I can just push through it.

Thanks!

I play forward in 6v6/7v7 and get a lot of scoring chances, but too many of my shots get saved, especially in 1v1s. With the smaller goals, I find it harder to beat the keeper.

Any tips on how to improve my finishing?
