Scum said:I remember when I was back home in Ghana, staying with my grandparents for a few years. Football for us kids was practically self taught. No one wanted to be in goal. So what we did was simple. We had 3ft wide goals on a small side pitch and played 2-3 touch footie. Everything you need to know about football was right there. ;-)
Seeing kids playing on full side pitches in England at such a young age nowadays just..welll.... :-(
Our school pitch was/still is bigger than the old Wembley pitch. That's how crazy it is. So much kick and rush.

I had to look that up to see you meant 'Cubbies' which is what we call it round ours. And yeah, I agree that it does make things difficult. I used to prefer playing smaller sided games (3 a side even) rather than Cubbies, but what can ya do.
