Yea, everyone I've ever played with. It's like they all go to the same convention or something

Funny thing is, I play on organized teams three nights a week and I've never seen one do it in a real game.

Well that's the point. In pick up, they're crazy and don't care about real fouls.
They never, ever pass either and bitch the whole time

Not racist, but I avoid playing with certain minorities for this very reason. There is no such thing as teamwork, people foul indiscriminately, and people bitch and moan about every little thing. I played with Iraqis one time and it was probably the worst soccer experience of my entire life, apart from when I tore my ACL.

Agreed. There's a new futsal place in town that offers open pickup most nights a week. It was awesome at first because it was mainly guys from the league I play with now. It was intense and organized with actual futsal laws being followed but also laid back. Well as of late it has become the place for the poorer segment of immigrants to play who can't afford to play in organized leagues. Last time I went it was 9v9 on a futsal court with dudes doing cartwheels, not passing to anyone and only worried about doing tricks. Its a shame because it was a lot of fun before when they had a staff member organizing it but I left feeling ripped off that night ($10 to play). I won't go back because of that.

Haven't played with too many Arabs, but the ones that I have played with have had a remarkable inability to move off of the ball. They'd rather try to hit 25 yard balls in the air during a small sided game than move five feet for each other.

Being white pretty much precludes you from getting the ball. I never feel more discriminated against as a white guy than when I'm playing soccer hispanics and arabs.

Seriously, people in France were more accepting/trusting of me with a soccer ball.

Here in the US, even when I prove my skill, I'll make a run down the field to support a guy who instead of making the easy pass will go 1v5 and then not give a shite when he loses the ball.
