LEARN THE RULES!!!
Idiot (not psycho so no nomination for that) parents yelling for hand balls and fouls and offsides - and wrong every time! Seriously - shut up or I will break out the duct tape.
Sadly this was a clueless dad on our team. Manager finally told him to stop yelling. Dude does not know this game at all!

Exactly...see and hear that way too much out there. That's why I sit on my hands with my mouth shut other than the occasional "Good Job" or "Nice play". I pay a lot of money each month to a professionally trained coach and we have refs who are professionally trained as well. I don't need some random parent yelling to my kid to "run to the ball" or "go to it" when doing that would put my kid out of her position and collapse the shape of the team. If the kids did what some parents yelled out there it would look like u6 rec ball out there...one huge pack of kids with the ball somewhere in the middle of them going back and forth across the field. I'd like to think our kids have developed a bit beyond that. I guess I'm like spectator in that this is the point in the season that I'm started to get annoyed with all the yelling from the sidelines. It just starts to get ugly. Oh well, said my peace...back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Hahaha...Yep seen that one. Have met moms that fit every role they put on that video. Me and my daughter spent an hour on You Tube the other day looking at those videos. She loved all of the SoccerGirlProbs videos. I can vouch for their soccer gear...man does it stink! LOL

Priceless. Minus the New Jersey accent, I saw this today in 2 matches. I saw it yesterday at hockey....
"he's pushing"
"he's shielding the ball!"
My two favorites.

I have threatened to use the Long Island accent and yell to my kid 'You OK? Thumbs up if you're OK!?" or "Got your slices?" every time I get the teen attitude from the child. So far it's the best motivator for best behavior I've used! LOL
