but... the kids are playing the game... they are playing fifa like they play in real life and vice versa. Just sounds to me like they are learning the game and making mistakes in both.

Sure, and it's pretty all right when they are young kids playing for fun.

When it's boys nearing adulthood supposedly playing more seriously, a few of them dreaming about pro careers, it looks silly and is frustrating to observe.

One essential thing to learn when you study football is that you have to respect and listen to your coach and also the teammates: don't lose the ball stupidly.

have you played the latest games? trying not to sound like a fanboy but they play great. the most fun you have, just like in 5 a-side, is just trying tricks out and mugging people off! like the article says, "The reaction to them among professionals suggests they are succeeding". I mean if it gets the thumbs up from professionals they must be doing something right, just sounds like you just simply don't enjoy the game.

Isn't the mentality more to do with insecure sites having dated websites with misleading links etc. Unless its a known company a dated/poor website often flags warnings for me about security, support for the product and more.

isn't that the joke...? It wouldn't do anything to help but "Part of the purpose, I believe, was to make you think very carefully about what you were doing as you put them on"
