    I need to put together a highlight reel of myself at work and play that music in the background. I can work excel and powerpoint with the best of them. Time to get my name out there.

    holy flirking schnit. i am floored.


    i don't know much about soccer, but he seems to be about 3 steps ahead of all the other kids and seems to have unreal instincts. he's like the lebron james of 9 year old soccer.


    all those kicks that he placed high in the goal to keep away from the goalie, amazing accuracy. the little kicks with the ball in the air to keep it under control and away from others. and that move around 1:10 that leaves the other kid on the ground.

    i don't know what other soccer greats looked like when they were playing in 9 year old leagues, but holy crap they couldn't have looked much better than that.


    how can you be so good at something so young? i mean do you even understand how good you are? i mean do you really even understand the game or do your brain and body just work so well at that skill that you can't help it? there's no way you can actually be thinking the game that well from a "student of the game" perspective. it's gotta be all instinct. damn i wish i had that instinct and skill in anything.

    "Probably the best player to come out of Brazil"

    Now that is too much of a burden to put on a 9-year-old.

    Does anyone else remember the 3 years old kid in that video who sinks like 30 baskets in a row? I guess he must be being scouted by the Spurs and the Pistons now.

    Having seen the video now, I am convinced. He is either a very fast, highly skilled midget, or a robot.
