The football players thread

Sorry yankers, it's the real football.

So how many of you actually play football? I know DR at least does.
I'm a 'keeper about 95% of the time, and I like to think I'm a pretty good one at that. I'm not the tallest, but I'm pretty agile which helps. My distribution in general is poor though. =[
If I'm not playing there, I tend to be right wing. I can get myself into space, and I'm quick (ish). I can put a pretty good ball into the box too, which is strange since my goal kicks are terrible. xD

I play alot.

I played for a team last year and I often player left mid or upfront. Not the fastest player you'll see but probably one of the skillfulest - not that I'm bigging myself up lol. From a young age I was always slow so I dedicated most of my time to learning tricks and flicks to get past people.

I scored something like 7 goals in 15 games playing Left Mid though so thats not too bad.

My main strengths are probably: shooting, passing, set peices. And I also always take gambles, similar to Larsson in the way that he wouldn't let anything go, and would bank on a defender making a mistake etc... I scored a couple due to that

I was playing on Saturday with Ex Celtic player Frank McGarvey and current U19s player Carlo Monti

Love playing the game though, its great. I don't play as much in the past 4 months though due to a girrrlll coming between me and the ball Shessworthitbut. But aye, need to get playing more often.

I only really play 5s or 7s now since I left that team last season.

Support Celtic

I haven't played for a team for about a year. I was in a 5-a-side league with some guys from work, and we finished top with maximum points.
I don't really want to play for a full 11-a-side team. Not that I don't like playing in such a big squad or anything; I just fancy playing in a 5/7-a-side league.

Ahh, I played 5s with guys from work aswell. It was funny, they were in a really shit league (power league division 5) or something, and basically I got my pal to play for us and we were winning games 20-1 and stuff haha. We were like top scorers in Powerleague throughout Scotland.

Then I quit the job, told them I done my cruiciate ligaments in and never answered any of there calls

We were actually really good. I can't remember the league name or anything, but they have a website; gameon-sports.com
We had a pretty tough league too, one team was full of violent chavs and another was captained by a former professional footballer. He never made it big though, but he still has a lot of skill. When we played them, that was the only game in which we didn't score at least 3. xD

I only played team soccer during recess in elementary school. It was fun but I didn't really know what I was doing. Now the only soccer action that I participate in is 3 man teams and four man teams. I usually play a central defensive role. I can tackle pretty good and clear the ball away with long passes. I can also play a pretty good goalkeeper. I am tall with a bloody long reach. I would like to play in a league but the only sport everyone likes around my town is American football. This town eats, breathes, and shits football.

I've never really commited myself to one specific team, I used to play a lot with friends when I was a kid and I was an amazing 'keeper.

Nowadays I prefer to play in the centre of defence because my height and build makes me a pretty strong player in that position. Last year I was the assistant manager of an Under-9s team, which was a lot of fun actually.

I love to play football. Never actually been in a team though, I was considering joining the girl's team at school but... didn't, for some reason.

I've been playing practically since I could walk though, as my dad used to play with me in our garden. I would say I'm alright at it, my fondest footballing memory was the time when I was 12, and I was playing against a bunch of guys a lot older than me and kicked all their asses. XD

When it comes to position I'm good at centre wing positions (damnit I forget all their names) but I suck in goals. >< I can score from funny angles aswell, but I'm not good at penalties. One time I took a penalty and it was worse than one of Beckham's. x) I'm also terrible at clearing the ball in defense with those long-distance kicks, I'm more of a dribbler.

I tried playing when I was younger, but my coordination was...urm...lacking. Not a sport I enjoy playing, anyway. Those who are skilled impress me, though. Tough sport to play.

I'll stick with basketball and baseball.
