Any soccer/football players in here?

Already friend but yes, been playing around the same time frame, love it, should have gone pro but messed it up, not entirely my fault.

I used to play all the time through high school though its been a few years....now i play pickup from time to time and go out and shoot and run around for cardio just about weekly. Im American by the way gotta love some footy though.

You'd probably be a pro already if you played in North America :P

Too many wannabe footballers worldwide now, makes it hard to get in unless you show world class talent from the early years.
I played for couple of pro teams in our nationwide conference back in 1996, got paid £22.50 a match lol, went for tryouts with bigger teams and got into a slightly bigger team but in first match got you fibula/tibula bone broke and was released on injury release clause, got payout but still sucks, tried when healed but no one wanted me due to injury I had, even though it hasn't bothered me since.

gutting lol.

I played for well over 30 years, off and on, until just a few years ago.
I had had lots of minor injuries, but, really, I thought I was invincible. Then, I was shielding a ball, with my back to the opposing player. He kicked me, fairly hard, as if somehow he was going to be able to go through me or brush me aside. I fell over. My knee didn't really hurt, but I knew it was not going to run anymore that day. I had a torn ACL.
I haven't returned to soccer since. I have too many other, active things I like to do. I played until I was 51-years-old. That's a good long time, though there is an over-50 league here.
