Anyone know any park with a good wall for juggling or passing around West London? Don't mind making the trip to Hillingdon or even Uxbridge if needed.

It's been raining in my area for like a week. Our field too was getting pretty wet but it's drying up.
The dirt/ground is kinda soft but not THAT soft like mud.

So should i use the sg boots or fg?

Hey guys this is basically a follow up post from my last. Here it is if you missed it : https:// www.reddit.com/r/bootroom/s/1JVzpKrDFQ

Anyway continuing off. To recap, my coach basically asked me to "evolve" and instead of being a traditional defensive fullback I have to start inverting and overlapping to help my wingers/midfielders out. I have made zero progress here unfortunately (especially with inverting it might be a mental issue i dont know) but my coach assessed me and said that he will try to convert me into a CDM. He said he doesn't see me as a "deep lying playmaker" or "tactician" but he sees me more as an "enforcer". He complimented my defensive awareness and tackling and said that he needs someone in the middle of the park to break up play and win second balls. To disrupt the oppositions build up play by constantly turning over position. He used Casemiro as an example.

Personally, I am open to the idea but I have never played midfield in general so I came here for advice. I already asked my coach and he said he would meet me one on one tomorrow but l'd also like to ask advice from you guys. What should I work on as a CDM, what drills, and what skills are needed in general?

Anyways that's all my friends I would appreciate any help given especially because he said he would start me at CDM on Wednesday. Danke!

Ive heard very good stuff about them with comfort and performance but also some negative stuff with no heel support and the fact that your heel could slip out of the boot at any time. Are the rumours true? Should I still buy?

I want to score so many goals i can dribble, i can pass and i can beat the last defender. But when it comes to seeing that person infront of goal i stop flowing and freeze. I feel like I’m too afraid if missing. And i end up overthinking, an example happened here i dribbled through the whole opposing team goalkeeper rushed out on me and i didn’t know what to do. Heck i wish there a way for me to figure out what the goalkeeper will do and how i can be prepared. However i pretty sure one of the core problems is that i don’t practice finishing. Regardless that match i scored 2 goals (could’ve scored 3 but i decided to showboat.

Hi like the title I recently got sg f50 elite, and was wondering where can I get interchangeable fg or plastic studs when I play in dry field? Thanks.

SKIP THIS PARAGRAPH IF YOU DONT WANA HEAR MY STORY: So I'm in my first year of high school soccer, and this is the first time I really realized just how important speed & physicality is. There's one baseball player on varsity who hasn't played since for 4 years, and he probably one of the best just because he's fast as frick. Just being able to run by anyone and get onto those 50/50 through balls just seems like one of the best skills to train on, and I want to learn how to get fast like that.

My question is how can I improve my acceleration, top speed, and be able to outpace everyone on the field. I want to become the fastest guy on my high school team next year, or in 2 years. I've heard so many things like plyometrics, isometrics, gym, just running, doing agility drills etc. how can I actually get fast.

I am 38 years old, 171cm (5'8''), 65kg (143 lb). I started regularly playing soccer about 5 years ago, which I mean on average 2 to 3 times a week, although in my childhood I occasionally played this sport for fun. My family doctor reccommends me to have more exercise.

Thanks to this sport I have lost 30 pounds over the last few years. Now I work from home and my time is quite flexible, and in my neighbourhood there is a rec facility with a turf field.

I like to play the attacking position, either striker or winger. I want to do practices by the following schedule:

Monday  - 1 hour of weight lifting, jumping, squats, etc.

Tuesday - 90 minutes of solo practice (juggling, shooting, dribbling, ball touching)

Wednesday - 90 minutes of  7 vs 7 pick up game

Thursday - 30 minutes of shooting practice and 1 hour of 7 vs 7 pick up game

Friday - 1.5 to 2 hours of 7 vs 7 pick up game (we usually take turns for the sub)

Saturday - have a rest.

Sunday - Play my bottom level 7 vs 7  indoor league game, total running time is around 20 to 30 minutes. It is still much more intense than the pick up games.

I know my physical condition is much worse than a few years ago, but I hope it is also much better than a few years later. Thanks for any of your opinions or advice.

Has anyone cut the f50 mid cut boot? I bought it cause it was on sale 60% off but I don't really like the sock, also is the f50 that narrow of a boot like people say. My foot is 9.3 inches L and almost 4 inches W.

Read online that chevron-shaped studs can catch on the turf, but these seem more triangular, so wondered if they might be ok for that reason.

Usually stick to circular FG studs, but like these boots a lot, and the AG version is out of stock in my shoe size.

I was thinking of getting some cleats from the mizuno morelia line (morelia 2,3,4, neo, beta, non beta). I’m a size 8 US and I have relatively wide feet and I was deciding which model would be best for me.

I know that K leather stretches over time, but I’ve seen countless videos saying “the mizuno morelia neo 4 beta elite is good for narrow feet” and seconds later i see someone say they’re good for wide feet. i’ve seen these issue with every model i look at

I’m genuinely confused on which one would be better for wider feet and any help would be much appreciated. (i’m open to any mizuno morelia model) I’m looking to get an elite model not the MIJ ones. Thank you 🙏

Hi, I'm new here. For some context, I haven't played soccer in a long time, and I'm trying to get back into it. The last time I was on a team, I wore a pair of solid black Phantom GXs with sleeves, and I liked those cleats a lot. I wasn't a huge fan of the style, but they felt secure on my feet and were always comfortable. Now that I'm getting back into playing, I'm having a really hard time finding cleats that seem reliable and also look good. I play midfielder, so I'm really just looking for something that can support that position. I prefer sleeves so they don't feel like they're about to fall off, and I'd also prefer cleats that are brighter or more colorful. I know something like that can be hard to find, so I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to look. I've been searching for a while just to find something that really works, so reaching out for help seemed like a good idea. Any input or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

That’s the question. My kid has lost playing time in the past, asked coach privately, then said coach got angry just for being asked and benched for a couple of matches. Going through a similar situation now with same coach, this time he is unsure what to work on or where his perceived weakness is. He thinks asking this coach is not an option because of what happened last time.

He has other coaches for club where he is very comfortable asking for feedback and has a good history and rapport, so I don’t think he is disrespectful or approaches these conversations incorrectly.

I guess I am just wondering how common this is? It blows my mind that he is afraid to ask.

Hi guys! Just bought the vapor 16 pro, I wear 47.5 (13 us) because I like space in the toe box (1cm) today they came in the mail and when i was trying them on was starting to feeling some heel slippage in the left boot. (I’ve tried grip socks and double socks but nothing changes) someone had the same experience? I should return them or maybe playing in them will resolve this situation? Thanks (sorry for my English I’m from Italy 🇮🇹)

I play rb and sometimes CB. Im a pretty good player ngl but the one thing i struggle in is interceptions and man marking. Anytime theres a through ball or a cross into a striker or winger i cant for the life of me intercept it. Any long balls from the goal kick always land behind me since i can never seem to accurately guess where its gonna land. My team has conceded many goals from this and im getting less play time because for some reason all the teams in the league play a long ball strategy, how can i work on this and improve. Ideally by myself since i rarely have people to train with outside of team training.

This is not a sh*tpost, however I guess that name would be applicable because of the subject matter. No matter what, about an hour before a game my body decides that it is going to flush all the crap out. I’ve been playing over 35 years and I noticed this started happening when I was in college. I think it’s a mixed blessing, it makes me feel light on my toes and ready to go, however bathroom options near the field aren’t always great. I’ve had to make peace with using some pretty nasty public restrooms in big cities.

Does anyone else experience this? It’s not like I’m playing at a high level, but It seems to only happen at organized competitions as opposed to pickup games.

Maybe its nerves, or certain warmup movements, or struggling to get socks and shin guards on?

Is the soleplate on the adidas copa pure 2, f50 and predator 24 (all league and fg) safe on ag pitch?

Hey guys, I’ve recently run into consistent cramping after 10-15 minutes of playing on astroturf. I’ve played on grass and indoor fustal fields and never run into this issue. I’m not playing with turf boots though. Any advice?

I know Nike's Tiempo models used to be solid so I've been looking at the "Tiempo Legend 10 Pro TF" model.

Has anyone tried it?

Any other recommendations?
