    No, I don't think about you much at all. Your thoughts and posts are all wack'ed all to hell, though. Comically.

    You definitely have a sad life. Nobody cares about you. It's sometimes fun o laugh and point.

    We had a good conversation regarding my son playing in MLS Next & ECNL. Seems like a nice person to me.

    People have more than 1 face ....whatever he said to people here, he is also a dad and a good game designer.

    Buck just doesn't like people that think outside the box....I hope your son is doing well, one of the players from our Cap City team just got drafted by the Whitecaps - it is pretty exciting.

    Mine still plays for the UPSL side in SLC but just for fun now.

    Good luck to your boy...soccer is fun.

    Thank God the Rockets aren't in their Gob Bluth we've made a huge mistake era anymore, and gotten rid of the deadweights KPJ and Jalen.

    This team is going to be craaazy.

    Agreed. The guys I had the most question marks about with regard to personality, focus or attitude were KPJ, Christopher, Garuba, Jalen and Cam. They were all talented but something wasn't right and I wondered how much time would have to be invested to get them over the hump. I think Stone has been great about not holding on to players too too long, well, KPJ and Jalen, but the rest, outta there quick.

    Soccer? Adult Kickball or Kickball for children?

    Soccer is for kids who can't do anything but run around

    The one where the soccer player Messi turned down 1.5 billion for 3 years (500 mil a year) & the one that will help pay tuition for my son at a University.

    Also the one that’s waaaaaaaay better than baseball;)

    It's accurate. Soccer is for garbage athletes

    Garbage in comparison to what ?

    My son has played AAU basketball. Played kicker punter cornerback/safety punt returner/kick returner in middle school, bball middle school, soccer middle school, track middle school (broke 23 year old record in hurdles & 14 year old record hurdles for his middle school). Won both distances for all of Austin at the city meet.

    He is no longer playing bball or football.


    Is going to the Junior Olympics this summer for 100m (is on ex NFL players Cedric Griffin’s track team in Lago Vista) His personal best is 11.86 and just turned 15 in May. I can send you a link in a message to see all his times.

    He now goes to Westlake which lost in in the 6a state final last season and was offered the running back (scat back not run it up the middle RB) position. But his club soccer takes too much time and academics. So he passed on it. He can squat almost 400 lbs and will hit that next academic year.

    All of the kids parents that I talked to that play baseball usually run 400m-800m and are not competitive in sprints. But my son still runs faster in 400m/800m/mile even though those are not even his events.

    What does my kiddo need to do to not be considered a garbage athlete and by what metric?

    In saying all of that my son will obviously never be as fast as Ricky Henderson or as strong as Barry Bonds. So are you saying someone like Jose Altuve is a better athlete than Messi AND/OR just above average youth soccer players are just not good well rounded athletes? Because I am confused. I’d appreciate a respectful somewhat objective response if possible please.

    What a douchy thing to say. @DaDakota may have some far out ideas, but he seems like a chill dude. He's right, too. Never seen you post anything of substance.

    Grow up. What are you 50 acting like a 12 year old? Sad.
