Boy scored 7 goals in his first practice against the best in our state, at 13, the goalies average 6'3 and they were the 3 best in our state. He scored more then anyone on the pitch and was playing up 2 yrs...The  coach said "if you learn two touches in the box, we will have to find you a new team"  European coaches really know whats going on...... sadly...

Congrats to the boy!  I thought this was a newborn reveal party.

 

I tried to play soccer once when I was at a boys camp for the summer (in Ely Minnesota).  I went twice so I was in 4th grade and 5th grade (don't recall how old that would have been)

 

Ball was in the air I really didn't know what I was doing BUT, I saw this as an opportunity to hit it with my head and thought that was cool, so....went for the head shot....  Well, about that time one of the older boys or counselers, I have no clue....saw the ball coming down and decided he was going to try to do a Pele move on it....  went up to kick the ball.....I went up to hit it with my head and he kicked me square upside the head and about knocked me out.

 

Yeah....I think that was one of the last times I tried to play.

High kick.  That's a penalty and sometimes a card.
