How to improve soccer skills against big Americans?

It seems to me that no matter how good the people in our tight knit Burmese community is at soccer, the big American players always have an advantage.

We are Ethnic Chin that live in northwestern Burma. The average height is about 5-5 and a half (166.5 cm), although many are shorter than this.



Unless we have the very best of our players on the highschool team(one is 5-5 the other is 5-8), the big American players seem to forcefully sweep the ball away!

I know I am a tad better than my teammate (I'm 5-2, he's 5-7), but he, like most white guys, is taller and thicker, beating me half the time. It's scary to receive the ball only to have it exploded out of my feet by some big American.

How can I level the playing field a little??



I know in Association Football, Iran and China play in the AFC and they aren't easy fry like me compared to the relative level (highschool and professional)..How to improve soccer skills against big Americans?
just cuz they're big doesn't neccesarily make them good. and you're only talking about a few inches here. I'm short and i have no problem going against the bigger guys.



First don't be afraid of them, if you go in soft on a 50-50 ball you're gonna lose it and maybe get hurt.



Second don't try to body them up, if you're really smaller than them, make the ball do the work, get around them lots of quick passes and touches to open space, if you try to go right through them nothing is gonna happen.



Third: Keep the ball on the ground, tall guys have an advantage in the air, so keep it low, (but if we're talking 5'8 i'm not considering that very big that mostly average in soccer anywhere.)



Hope that helped good luck and have fun.
Play quick one touch around the team.



You can easily wear a big team down by making the ball do the work.



Along with this, you must do a lot of off the ball movement to create space and more passing opportunities.

just as another person said juggle juggle juggle work on ur first touch because it is the most important. the quicker u can turn and face the goal or ur team mates the better u can do against the stronger quicker players. use ur skill rather then ur physic.
There's no way. Us Americans are just THAT great. I'm totally kidding.



JUGGLE JUGGLE JUGGLE! I'm telling you, juggling helps in every aspect of the game! It helps your one touch, trapping, receiving, everything! That's the best advice I will give, because I believe it works the best.How to improve soccer skills against big Americans?
dont play too quick keep the ball back and once they start to come back move in more and play quick dont hold the ball to long and make sure eres people in forward so when your with the goalie just trick him and pass it to t=your partner and make sure he scores
Simple they r big u r small with lots of energy. Use tht ball to pass around them. Try not to run with it though.
