Really interesting to think how the pitch most kids grow up playing in will affect their play style. Here in Brazil most kids play in concrete courts where the ball glides fast and smoothly, there could be a correlation to our style as dribblers and fast passers. Same way you mentioned that England's style makes sense in that kind of sunday league pitch.

Yea it does a lot of gk's. One side of the pitch I play on u can't dive without being injured and the ball bounces so much its impossible to predict where it goes and the other side you can dive without getting even a little hurt and it doesn't bounce randomly at all. So it basically becomes a game of luck on who gets the good side.

[@gamingwithglasses4544]

That’s why you always put ur goalie in charge of coin flip

[@itsmeanoop]

I swear. The striker always is choosing the side and chooses the bad side cuz the goal is like 3 yards farther away from the half way line. The pitch is so bad on that side it makes Sunday league pitches look like premier league ones and the other side pitch looks like premier league pitches.

And this sunday league pitch was not even that bad. I used to play in the hungarian 6th, 5th and 4th div as well. Imagine what we had to endure in the 6th one. Short story: The guy at our club, responsible for cutting down the grass, had a run with the land-mower, but decided that it was it. He was asked to do so, but since nobody told him to rake it afterwards, well... yeah... he just left the cut grass on the pitch. Add the bumps, the dirty spots, the freaking craters and all... just wonderful to play on.

you actually made a really good point at the end- the 4g astro turf is better for passing etc and in spain, where tiki taka is renowned from, they mainly have AstroTurf pitches beacuse the weather is unsuitable for proper grass growing, which, as highlighted in the video, is easier and better to do in it. whereas in england or other countries they always have normal sunday league pitches which affect their passing etc, all from an early age. wow

alot of this could be due to the plasibo effect. when conducting an experiment like this you are suppose to be unbiased but whenever you go to the Sunday league pitch you say that you don't thunk you will do well. this is part the reason you do so badly at it. on the pro pitch ypu believe you will do well so you are therfore more confident and do better. the pro pitch is obviously better, but not by as much as you made it look.

As a career defender, who judged myself by the quality of my slide tackles and elbows, I love a sloppy, rain-soaked, uneven pitch. I played almost all my soccer in Florida, so I often got my wish.

[@sirriffsalot4158]

For a while now it's been bugging me how most of the football I'm watching and trying to learn from is played on a watered pitch, which DRASTICALLY changes the behaviour of the ball. I only ever get to play on a properly watered pitch when it's been raining quite a bit. I was kind of hoping for some comments on that here 😕

I feel like the main difference between the two pitches is the work ethic and motivation whenever I play on a awful pitch I just never try as hard as hard as when playing on a good one and I also completely change the style I play and it actually has a massive difference that I’ve never really thought of

Cool video, The ending I disagree that England's style of play would be different cause, if you look at countries in South America they have worse pitches but play a passing fluid and creative style. Notably Brazil, where people play in the streets, on crap pitches, futsal and on the beach. So personally don't think it would change too, too much. That being said, with the new turf surfaces way more of them need to be installed cause with the rain maintaining grass pitches would be too costly.
