Soccer players?

[fullbloodchop01]

just wondering if any of you out there play soccer, or football for those outside the states.
ive been playing for about 8 yrs now, and am now capitain of my highschool team.

[slave]

Yeah, I play in an indoor league, yay for top scoring, and for my unit on the RAAF base at lunch. Problem is, Im a better cyclist, lol.

I played for 9 years on selcet teams. And now im thinking about playing in college well on an intermurals team i have to get real good grades for college.

Hey Rui, I used to play in school and at club level, I had to stop playing because of a knee injury.

Played since I was 4 until I was 26.....now I can't run too much without a knee brace.....

Sport seems to become evil with age. I used to play a-grade hockey and cant now due to knee and other associated leg problems.

I've been playing a while now- out on the Left Wing still got a good few years left in me as well

[Dublinguy]

I used to play aswell at club level but as a kid I used to play Gaelic Football and Hurling at the same time. So i was training 4 to 5 times a week and two different matches at the weekend. But like Ray injuries have set me back my problem is my ankles, they are quite weak, too many smacks with a Hurley probably....but Im only 25 and had to stop a few years ago. Quite pissed about it really, my fitness is diabolical now.

Well it's easier than saying the Midfielder who dits all the way out towards the left sideline

[freakray]

At our club, and school, the left wing was the guy who was 'over there' in case he's needed

Unless you're left footed or have a phenomenal switch, it's not a position for a right footed person.

Me personally, centre midfield, centre back or goalkeeper

[Nrbumgard]

I almost always played center mid. some times I would get moved up to center foward but not often.

My problem is that I have weak ankels. Actually I have a whole slew of injurrys but what usually makes me go down on the ground is an ankel. I had to go to the orthapedic last year after a well me being a dumbass on a bike injurry. And he said that I'm all fucked up. (I was on my old bmx bike and was in the back of one of the guys trucks and i decided to jump the bike off of the side bad idea.)

And I played baceball for along time too and hurt my shoulder from throwing.

Rui Costa from AC Milan


well as for the positions i play, center defender, midfield, and forward. not trying to sound cocky, but i can play all 3 of those positions pretty damn well, but i have to say most of my teamates want me playing defense.

[freakray]

Rui, that's why I prefer midfield, gives you an oppurtunity either way....

[speediva]

I played in the rec-league for many years, and then played one year on Junior Varsity at my High School. I miss playing soccer.

In rec-league I was always on defense b/c I was the only person who could clear a ball from the 18 to the 50 in a single kick. I gots me some LEGS, baby! As a result I always was in either stopper, sweeper, or one of the two full-backs. Then I made JV in High School and suddenly I was left forward. It helps that I've got as much power, and almost the same aim with my left leg as my right. I scored a few goals b/c the girls were expecting a "righty".
