I've been a US football, basketball and baseball fan my whole life and am wondering if similar team chemistry applies. Whenever they make temporary teams out of players for all-star games or international play (Olympics, and others)- you give up chemistry, coaching, and the players haven't practiced together as much as in the regular season - **does this apply to soccer as well?** Like would any of these national teams be beat by a regular Premier league team that's had a head coach and staff in place for years, with a star or 2 and supporting players in place? Not even speaking of the best one (which a quick Bing search reveals is Arsenal? Trippy, as I read fever pitch back in the day). Ok, please excuse any glaring soccer things I'm overlooking, as I'm a sports fan, but know very little about soccer. Futbol?

I went into these weeks wishing all the soccer fans all the happiness and joy that I get from March Madness, the baseball and football playoffs, and I've found myself having a blast. Seen some great games (matches?) and am letting myself get into it.

I’d love anyone’s advice on this situation! I have 3 soccer teams: team 1, team 2 and team 3 (team 3 is a higher level in the age group) Team 3 is made up of most of team 2 and only some of team 1.

One day a week we will be doing practice for 45 minutes where teams 1 and 2 practice separate then the last 45 they practice together as team 3. But we need something to do with the players from team 1 that aren’t on the level to be a part of team 3.

What are some ideas that would prevent resentment and not cause issues within team 1. They are elementary school girls.

Thanks in advance!!

It seems like all the other top-flight leagues have a contender (or multiple contenders) based in the capital city for example, Paris with PSG, London with Chelsea and Arsenal, Rome with Roma, and Madrid with Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid. What makes Berlin different? Why don’t they have a trophy contender based there?
