Discussions that I remember that would interest you: how to correct playing vices in kids (punting the ball), refereeing problems, playing tactics, coaching problems (a couple of coaches post to the group). We have also a lot of news from around the world, but this is logical, because the coverage of this sport by the media is minimal. Everybody in Europe understands the word "soccer" (BTW: where does it come from ?), but we call the sport "football" as you know. The group should be called rec.sport.soccer anyway, the distribution will be mainly NA and the posters too. *********************************************************************** * Walter Garcia-Fontes | Bitnet: | * * Department of Economics| walter@watson | "Tuya, Hector" * * Stanford University | Internet: | * * | walt@portia.stanford.edu | * ***********************************************************************
