Soccer, or football as many call it, is a sport of passion, skill, and sometimes, utter absurdity. We've all seen the dramatic goals, the nail-biting finishes, and the heart-wrenching losses. But what about those moments when the game throws you a curveball so ridiculous, all you can do is laugh?

The scrimmage ended, and immediately, arguments broke out…..

“'We scored five!' yelled Alex. 'No, it was four!' countered Maya. Taylor chimed in, 'Coach didn't even see half those goals!' 

This typical post-scrimmage debate (and often “in-scrimmage") over the score highlights a common problem; Why are we so focused on numbers in practice games? Especially in soccer, where scrimmages are meant for development, does the score really matter?"

Kids might think soccer practice is boring, but it is essential to hone your skills and be the best player on the field come match day.

The beautiful game is gaining ground in the United States, and the 2026 World Cup is set to be a major catalyst.
