size and power should be an asset but they're not called as a detriment
There are not huge incentives in soccer to be big and strong. You want quickness, endurance, low center of gravity, and technique. You always look for the video game freak like Lebron. 99% of the time, it just does not work as well in soccer.

there used to be. that was a big part of germany's success in the past
i wish soccer was more evenly-called. if you're smaller and weaker, you should be worn down by losing collisions/battles with bigger players over 90 minutes. you should have a distinct disadvantage in the air (And not be rewarded for being weak and falling down on contact)
