“A good pitch wont make you a better player, but a Bad pitch can make you seem like a very bad one” - Julius Caesar

the field my middle school played on literally proved the Earth was round

If you’re good on a Sunday league pitch, you’ll be unstoppable on a good one

I just found a new excuse for my inconsistent performance

Yes, there's a difference playing in a flat surface and playing in a field where your legs get strained every frickin minute!

Well yes its quite important - i need something to blame when i mess up my passes and shots

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.

Bruh the Sunday league pitch is far way better than our pitch here😂😂

1:00 that is a nice 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.

What did we learn today guys? That the type of soil in a country and grass on it can change the way how a country plays.

Just me who thinks he’s fully skying it on purpose on the Sunday league pitch😭

he tried so much harder on the pro one to make it seem like it was 5 times better when it really is only a bout 3

This was an interesting video to make for sure!

4:34 : when you are playing fifa with a friend and you have to turn off the arrow assistance so that he doesnt see...

0:23, now that's a nice pitch

He’s back!

I accidentally found his channel after LITERALLY 1 year

9:39 there's no way that a shot could be that bad even in a Sunday league pitch

Sunday league Pitch is still better than my hometown pitch.😍😂 Only Indian the Hardship of Playing Football.😪😫 Love from India, Manipur

Well if it is a rainy night in a stoke. It definitely will make a difference

YES! Finally someone covers this topic. I know it's expensive but it's so obvious that a nice 4G pitch makes you play at least 3 times better than on a bad Sunday league pitch. Just imagine if someone like Messi would try to dribble on a Sunday league pitch like he would in the Camp Nou. Its just not comparible

I would actually kill for the weather and ground in the Sunday League thumbnail

The test of “Yh but can he do it on a rainy night in Stoke”

Insane video idea! Clicked instantly when this video came out!

The main thing for us is that playing on a grass pitch requires soooo much effort... nets/cleaning boots/etc... it’s loooooong 😩😂 Sick comparison video, gotta love 3G 👊

the amount of effort kieran puts into his videos is insane one of the best football channels out

hahah, see me being a ex professional footballer, I was able to play in ANY conditions! Can't say the same for the rest of my pro footballer friends! good video Kie!

Legend back with another banger well I know it will be!

Every time I see his videos I get so excited

You have a great friend Kieran He is always with you to help you for any of your videos

“A good team should be able to win on any field.” -my soccer coach before the championship game

I’m already used to both so there’s just a little difference:you might twist you leg while running or while trying to shoot

Honestly for the goalkeeper ones you couldnt fake it any more

The editing is on point man 🔥🔥

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.

I mean the issue is that they are different types of fields, the “bad” one is grass, and the “good” one is turf, next video you should try to compare good and bad of the same types

i feel like he did the sunday league pitch dirty by not doing his best cause how does a pitch make u slower

Always brightens my day when you upload

Just wanna say, I love the editing of the videos but I’m so glad that the camera man isn’t all professional just makes a rlly nice feel to the videos

The Placebo Effect Somewhat Played Its Part Here... Kieran Played Way Better On The Professional Pitch Kind Of SubConsciously...😁

We need more uploads !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To cool video and audio editing!!! You're doing a great work! I hope you like what you do❤

Love ur vids keep up the good work( I met u up at the good pitch I was playing with my team)

👍 you took a good concept for all your videos They gave ma a lot of knowledge about soccer ⚽ Thanks for your videos 👍👍 Love from 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 INDIA

I thought one can easily save more Penalties in Sunday League type of Pitches but the video footage showed vice versa 🤔

May you please do videos on the pro pitch more often and I love how come quiet and your vids are the best

Love the vids man

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.

Who remembers when his name was Footballskills98

Thanks for helping my day a bit

lovely content bro keep going

The Sunday league club I played for had loads of pitches and they were all like a carpet

Didn't really watch anything but first 3 seconds but spoiler alert: yes, it makes a huge difference

Good video mate🤜🏻🤛🏻

When I was a kid we used to play matches at Bringins Carpets in Kidderminster. The pitches were extraordinary. Flat, beautiful grass, never a hint of mud, even in the middle of winter. We used to look forward to those matches.

I'd like to see you do the dribbling test on this pitch 😅😆 ukposts.info/have/v-deo/gWiiiWlsfaSg1n0.html

I bet he will not pin my comment

The fields that we play on are usually either hard as concrete or as soft as playdough. They also always have holes in them (one of the fields has one of the green sewer access things).

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

as a keeper, my middle school pitch was absolutely horrible, the shoulder injuries are still paining me

His videos never fail to entertain !

Man You have so many ideas... 👍🏻👍🏻

Most underated youtuber 🤩

welcome back king

I really like your stuff greets from germany mate

Love the vids

5:15 That's top corner consistency right there. top "screen" corner

It is not about playing professional or anything just that you know how to control the ball in each type of court and know how to hit it, it is not about hitting it straight and knowing that the ball is raised by lumps of grass last thing where he learned to shoot was on the street in the dirt fields. good video good test

From where I'm from, the frequently used pitch had the goalkeeper's box consist of weathered limestone instead of dirt and grass. One side was very rocky while the other was just completely slippery, while the rest of the pitch had grass. It was really painful to play as a goalkeeper back there.

I will recommend Sunday league pitch cuz it's hard to play in that pitch so you can be good at passing, shooting finishing, goalkeeping etc... After playing in Sunday league pitch

3:45 😹 he's running alone but coming last

One of the interesting videos it's like a lesson in school really but the difference is it's really interested other than boring😂👍❤️

5:51 nice shot!

Made those shooting ones look harder than they needed to be haha. But nice demonstration overall for everything.

From 12-15 we played on a Sunday league pitch and only lost a handful of games the goal mouths were in better condition but as a right back there was always half a match I had to play on a side that had a ripple effect in the ground after a year or 2 you were able to read the ground at 16 we moved in to a northern league stadium and we struggled to adjust to how flat the pitch was

What a great thumbnail nail LoL

this soundtrack is awesome

Whenever I play there are some patches with no grass and some that have more grass, and you basically have to try so hard to receive the ball since it might bounce up or might get too cushioned on the fall and roll under your foot

3:45 ...Thought that my internet was lagging behind ... But later realised that it was in your video itself.

something i have learned my self as a sunday goalie is that when we play on a pitch like your sunday pitch here i always feel less confident then on a proper astro or just grass pitch

I played at the wankers stadium (now called the King power) and that was so much harder to play on than my Saturday pitch. It was so squidgy and lush. Pros are awesome doing what they do on such harsh pitches

Ah I'm so envious. Meanwhile where I live all the grass patches either say no trespassing, have grass up to knee level, or are nonexistent.

Nice video keep it up

beautiful dribbling

8:01 Timo Werner ; You've finally found out my power son !

As a Sunday pitch player, you are making our lives harder. Cz U have been deliberately wanted professional pitches to be the best.

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.

0:25 For a sec I thought he was wearin the lights as a hat

Yeah but the Sunday League pitch gives u the experience and challenge. U know, it’s fun 😅

Played on turf for the first time today and was amazed at how the ball just skimmed across the surface compared to how it goes across my local park

bro thats tack feelish testing out the pitches!

as a goalie nice fields and especially turf fields are much better because your not standing in a patch of dirt. it doesn't necessarily impact performance but it feels much nice landing on grass than dirt

Kieran: misses shot 👹ugh👹

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

From personal experience the title answer is definitely

Your Sunday league pitch seems like Qatar's stadium to me😆.. We play on dry brown play grounds.. Too rough and tough to dribble yk! It's so rare for us to get in green pitches at all ☁
