Quite impressive I wonder how many of them will become a well-known players.

The 3 Barca forwards were fucking sick. 11 years old, scary.

Thats whats wrong with our kids in this country, soon as they get the ball theyre encouraged to lump it forward asap and dont learn much, or have the skill beaten out of them. The Spanish kids are taught to pass it about as their own pace, no moans if they give it away because they'll have another chance.

Little shits, by the time they are old enough to play, the Spain and Barcelona ways of football are hopefully void and figured out!.. impressive none the less though

And the English players are already being taught to park the bus... "Get Back!!!! Let them have that pass!" Fucking great.

When United were at their most dominant it was because they kept the ball and passed it around with ease.

That's why they are dominating. England will never achieve anything at international level until English players learn to play football again. The premiership is considered one of the top leagues in the world, and it's not because of the English players, you look at the skillful players and they are foreign. We haven't had true passers of the ball since Beckham and the ginger ninja were in their prime (two players that could slice open a defense with anything from a 2 yard pass to a 20 yard pass)

Keeping the ball and passing has always been important to the game, but there is also other aspects like counter attacking, dribbling past players etc that can be equally as effective(and for me more entertaining when also used) in the way a team plays, something that Spain don't seem to agree with..We have always had players, more specifically wingers that arn't afraid to dribble past a player, and i'm not just talking Ronaldo with his step over and tricks, Giggs for example has always been able to take players on just with clever running and dribbling, I can't remember the last time I saw a spanish player playing for Spain attempt to..I would hate to see the end of players trying to take on other players in favour of passing it all the bloody time like Spain do.

Just a preference for a different culture. I'm sure Spain would think why would they waste energy taking a player on when they could make 2/3 simple passes and play the ball around him. Just as effective.

From the video, apart from the obvious barking of orders from the English coach and the very little from the Spanish, allowing his players to express themselves and try out new things, one of the biggest things I picked up was that the Barcelona players looked like they were enjoying playing.
