I’m assuming most people here have had a dreams of playing in cup final scoring the winner and such

So how far did you get to reaching such dreams

Did you reach academy levels l or high

I thought of this question because I’ve one of dad’s "oh I could played pro if it wasn’t for my shit knees

    I won the state tournament at 14 and retired on top because we started doing cardio in practice and I’m not interested in that

    Played Sunday League, my first game I made it clear to the coach that I’m very one sided on my right. The left back was struggling so I (as generally right-mid) got subbed on. Took 0.00001s for me to concede a corner.

    Schoolboy level in Waterford, Ireland. My biggest claim to fame being playing against former Ireland international Seanie Maguire several times

    Travel team from Middle school-jr year of HS. The best teammate I played with went to some team in spain and posted a couple pics of him playing vs the Atletico Madrid youth setup. That brotha was something else; the first time he tackled me in training he blindside hit me so fucking hard I saw stars. Super technical as well

    I played it at your moms house, trying to get balls between those well spread goal posts was a profession that paid in a currency of somehow overcooked grilled cheese sandwiches and regret.

    Edit: I was joking.

    I played against an ex Bradford city player, a Leganes trialist and a former PL striker’s little brother at 5aisde. They were all incredible and made me (a tough tackling cm) look quite silly at times
