well think of it this way, smaller ppl usually can accelerate much better, makes em ideal for being put in the box to loop around the defenders and score. i really refuse to accept that size matters, seeing as im a short arse :p

Size... yeah it can help.

Makes me think of Dutch goalkeeper Ed De Goey


I'll always remember the belgian commentator Roger Laboureur during Holland-Belgium in WC '94. He kept on saying: this guy is not a keeper! it's a tree!!!






oach, large picture!

You got to use it right.

Jan Koller is a nice example. don't try too much technique when you're 2m tall and you've got enormous feet to fall over it...
leave the dribbling to the midgets a la Maradona

Hey, I have the same size feet as Koller: size 12 (British). It's big, but nothing to write home about.

Does he count as a midget any more? Sure, he's only 5' tall, but in all three dimentions. ;)

As someone who is 198cm tall himself and played a match in Golden Gate Park on Wednesday against many much smaller, shiftier Latinos from da 'hood, it's all about the foul... not the dribble. :D

198? That's even taller than a mate of mine (195 as opposed to my 175). I call it scary; he calls it a minor difference of about two pinkies :D

I'm 6 feet tall and am a better dribbler than most people at my University.

Then again, I am in America.
