Is it just me....
« on: Feb 16, 2009, 08:19: AM »
When I'm watching someone fs, or do grounds/street, I definately prefer it if you can like kinda tell they've played football before and can do keep ups well and atleast look okay with the ball. 

Like I see a lot of fs vids n some grounds with people giving rave reviews about how good the person is, and that might be so, but if their style is shit, I cba watching it, even if what they do is really good.
I.e. Jeon Kwon (yes!), I dont really like watching his vids...

Now I'm not saying you should have played football to fs, jus saying how I feel.


Anyone feel the same, or atleast similar?    (I expect not really lol)

Just one question before I give my opinion about this. In your opinion, have I played football before starting to freestyle?

I really love watching JK's videos! Although, I don't like his juggling style (in standing position).. But I don't really have a problem with it because his skills are amazing.

a lot of real footballers have horrible style when freestyling.

that isn't to say footballers can't be good freestylers, but in most cases it's true.

I think so    maybe wrong...  But I like your style anyways..

Firstly yeah they may do if they're jus messing about because they wont freestyle much, and secondly its not true, so most cases your a better fser if your not a footballer? Come on now.

obviously there are going to be exceptions but footballers usually tend to have awkward juggling styles, or they'll have great juggling and control but will have awkward styles on tricks like atw and others.

you only need look at the top level pros to see this is true.

and don't be stupid and argue and give examples.  no shit there are always going to be exceptions with great footballers that are great freestylers too.
