This is an absolute must watch from Nike Football.  Sometimes you really do just have to sit back and admire the skill from some of the top flight soccer players that grace the pitches across the world.

This video is a compilation taken from the www.nikefootball.com site.

If you go there you can see far more clips than what we have put together for you here and its well worth a look.

You know that we love using small sided games to develop technique and skill and you can see in the first clip, the one where Thierry Henry is playing street soccer, that they are using a small sided game format, no goal keepers, just 3 v 3 anything goes.

While Nike may have the advertising budget with some of the best soccer players signed up, they didn't invent small sided games, they have been played by youngsters either organised or unorganised for years...

Please note this footage from the Nike site www.nikefootball.com

...Hmmm

This has got me thinking about a our own soccer talent across the world. Do you have any players that can do street soccer tricks like this? Why not post on the soccer forum and let us know. Better still if you have any video footage may be we could make our own advert! Drop me a line...
