Agreed. I don't know if those commenting are sitting on their couch and don't play, or maybe its because I play in adult pickup games, but there is still a lot of competition and the games are still fun. Its just that mistakes are a little more tolerated (but you still get yelled at for bad passes, mistakes et al) and there's less fighting and injuries then a game. Again, I don't know if you had a kids "pickup" game, but all my best memories of soccer was in games during recess or after school. For games, I remember maybe 3-4 special things that happened, and I've been to provincials a few times - I just remember being there, but playing a lot more "when it doubt, kick it out" soccer.
