"... but I DO hate on the guys who say they are street football players but freestyle. You're not a street football player"

This video actually pissed me off a little -- i am a street football player but i still enjoy freestyling once in a while... how can i not be a street baller then?
I don't know -- in this video they both seem extremely arrogant and generally negative about freestyle which they have no right to be. Fucked up imo.

@liicht i agree

[tbc]

thanks for the post alex, it was interesting to see their perspective on freestyle.
edward van gils approach is more mature towards the subject, only sean seems to have brainwashed him into thinking we are entertainers.
Issy hitman, he just talks like other haters.. lets ask him to try eatw  

[Max]

i also agree with liicht.

if a footballer can do 2 atw and 1htw wearing soccer equipment and calls himself freestyler, it doesn't bother you?
i don't see them arrogant, it's the same if you hate called footballer.

LOL so he thinks freestyle developed from ballers who werent good enough to play ball.. haha..

hes right though, its totally different... i wouldnt wanna be compared to a street soccer player either. hes just stating the facts and the truth... they stay in their lane, we stay in ours..

Who's he talking about, which freestyler said they were a street baller?
Even though I agree, it really sounds like he looks down on us and that's one of his major issues with freestyle.
And what's this entertainer bullshit? Street ballers entertain the crowd just like freestyle, they just attract a different crowd. They play on the streets for fun, we play in our yards, garages etc. Freestyle is obviously better for entertaining but that doesn't mean street football isn't a form of entertainment as well.

It was my opinion..
But since you want to debate. Which do you think would be more entertaining to watch for the average person?
I'd say freestyle because even if you don't know anything about freestyle you can still enjoy watching it. It can be performed anywhere with little space. You don't need a cage or a secondary person which makes it more flexible too(therefore more people can be entertained by it since it can be done anywhere).
Weak argument but I think it's pretty obvious that the majority of the average person would definitely choose to watch freestyle over street football.

Agreed. Got the same opinion.
For me those two were pretty arrogant to us and as Dan said "we are ballers who werent good enough to play ball"? What the fuck that means?
If street soccer is so better than freestyle where are World Championships (the real one), bigger interest of Red Bull (Still consider Street Match as experiment) or huge community?
I dont wanna doubt their skills cause I am not even capable of doing it. Also I dont have a problem with staying in my line cause I cant panna even my mom. But I am sure deep in my mind that Freestyle is on much bigger level, more ways to develope and has more potentional than street football.
