the late 90s/early 2000s were a great time to be in HS. I'd imagine we'd have to go to some kind of racial and gender sensitivity lectures now just for every day banter from back then

Can we talk about that moment when you just get blown the fuck out by one guy and you realize, Im nowhere near good enough to go pro?

I was a sub for a guy who plays for an EFL team and I was blown away by how much better he was at everything than the rest of the team. nOur first game he just scored 4 goals from outside the box without any problems and then he was subbed off.

At least he got his knee blown out and I had to play for the knockout stages.

Kek, i don't understand this, what is so hard about going to a 3rd division team and play for them?
If you were actually any good you would eventually go to a better team.

It was a 3rd Division Team
The problem with Mexico is there are only 3 divisions. A fuckton of people can't even play. I wish I was in Argentina or Brazil were there are a lot of more teams.

Lads I could have gone pro, but the Jews conspired to hinder my career.

I was briefly at the Chelsea academy but our coach kept touching me and it made me feel awkward so I left.

Pro in what?

>be11ish
>there's been a scout at our game
>two mates and me can go test at the youth academy of a local first division club (in belgium i know, but still, first division)
>it's a bit of every man of himself, as a striker i get very limited time on the ball because the wingers and everyone else hog it to show off their own talents
>do good stuff whenever i do get the ball though, especially at the end when i'm "trusted" i get more balls and even manage to score
>game over, all head to the locker room
>everyone takes their underwear off
>wew, we never do that at our team, we shower with our underwear on
>bit taken a back, won't shower but it's cool, it's cool
>get changed, want to go out of locker room to go get a drink
>turn around and there is this ginger guy with a micropenis and a very ginger bush around his penis
>don't really talk about the whole testing thing with my parents, just say it went alright. Don't even mention i scored
>never go back because of that fucking ginger

i could have been the goat damnit. or not. probably not.

>be proper footballer (soccer) in hs
>get all the sluts

>get literally nothing besides athletes foot

But can you make a descent living playing in the lower divisions in South American leagues? Heck, can you make a decent living playing the lowest divisions anywhere?
