quote:your reference was about Barça´s defense against English attackers. Piqué is bigger than anyone you refer to, and Puyol plays bigger than he is. They get in the fray, don´t shy away from it, so I don´t understand your argument. I can´t fricking believe I´m defending Barça defenders but I am. Your logic is flawed.
because i believe that size and power should be equally treated as passing and possession?
Basically, you´re saying they´re being penalized in the open field (I assume you now recognize your attacking scenario holds no water), for kicking smaller players.
Were they larger, there would be no problem. They would automatically not go down, and we´d have rockém sockém robots all day long. frick the ball.
Makes no sense.

That wouldn't be all bad
Someone would resurrect the Bramble-Onyewu center back pairing

it was one example. the same applies to any other team with superior size who is not allowed to use it. real is hurt by this
quote:
Piqué is bigger than anyone you refer to,
and he's the anti puyol b/c he plays a lot smaller than he is. i like pique, though
quote:

no. using your body to get position against another player's body has nothing to do with kicking anything

well a small team would have to obtain bigger players or face the disadvantage, yes.
