I like the smaller board. The next thing that would make things work great would be to use a similiar algorythm for player movement as for kicking the ball. Choose the player, the computer shows allowable placement, choose the placement. Would save a lot of net traffic, and the game might move a bit faster. And as all us non-soccor fans know, faster is better.

I like the smaller board too. My players first found the ball very heavy on their feet, but are used to it now.

But they are not happy with the unsharp helicopter-camera. :-)
