That’s dope. I kicked around a soccer ball for the first time (don’t ask) and my appreciation went way up for what players can do with it.

Honestly, this is with most sports/games, you don't appreciate the sport until you try it. I was the same way with golf for a long time until I got out there and shot 112 on a standard 72. And to think the pros shoot 60-65 to win a championship.

I know a lot of folks that think soccer is just kicking the ball around until they actually play. Running intensely while having the composure to ensure your touches are tight. Then there's actually dribbling, completed passes, shooting all while the defense is closing in on you at full speed with little no breaks in play.

Yeah I’m learning the sport kind of backwards started with MLS and then Europe. It’s kind of made me appreciate the skill of top players more having mainly watched MLS first. Just kicking around a little bit and thinking how they can take a switch from across field and catch it on their foot like a feather :mindblown:
