If you're level drops in a match that probably means you need more match experience. Whether it's finding higher level pick up games or dropping to a lower team to get more game time. You may get get anxiety in games from lack of match experience (I had a problem with this, it was a bitch because no...

Considering MLB players in the US have a league minimum salary around $300,000 I would assume EPL players are somewhere around the $400,000 to 500,000 range just for league minimum. Basing that off of no evidence or anything, just assumption, probably quite wrong

I actually liked watching the women world cup a lot, there is a lot less diving and bitching than in the mens game. Truth.

The Germans also play direct soccer with good athletes, is the reason they're better their approach or that the players are also more skilled?

I juggled all 3 every year I played in high school. It isn't really that hard. Then again I realized going pro wasn't a realistic option pretty early, and didn't train like I was trying to. Despite that I did practice and train a lot as I was trying to improve and at the time was considering playing...

Awe the friendly inviting atmosphere of the EF forum, quite possibly my favorite aspect. :lol: 1) I honestly believe the main problem with US soccer is the nation is so spread out and the "hot beds" of soccer are also very spread out. IMO the west coast, east coast and texas seem to be the most invi...

Freddy Adu. I mean he was a pro at 15!!!!!!!!!! He can kick the ball and dribble it and run fast and slide tackle and do the header thing and can make the ball curve in the air even!!!!!!! Really though idk, but as of today I would say Ronaldo. Although he is very much a "what could have been" in ma...

I know at 15 it can be hard to believe but eventually you'll realize there is more to life than soccer. Even if you are good enough to make it as a professional doesn't mean you won't develop other interest that you'll be even more passionate about. As of now you are young, keep living life, go to c...

Micheal Bradley doing the physical at Villa, likely to sign

Robbie Findley going to Nottingham Forest, free transfer.

My honest opinion. You've fu**ed up, hurt her twice and obviously don't deserve her at this point in time. Leave her alone, move on, mature, then mature a little more and maybe someday things will work out. As of right now from what you've said the best you could do for her, and IMO if you really di...

Smart thing would be to save it all for college

On the note of women sports being less popular it's not only men who would rather watch male sports, but basically anyone who is into sports.

I'm sort of in the general agreement. It sounds rude, and I don't discredit any women athlete because many work just as hard as their male counterparts, but because of physical differences male sports are usually more interesting to watch. Lets be real Messi gets all those articles written about him...

Wait....How did they fit a soccer field in the kitchen?

Sexism aside I couldn't care less about this story because I couldn't care less about Keys or Gray.

It sounds like you're maturing and realizing there is more to life and starting to establish priorities.
