    No need, I understand it takes a bit of intelligence to understand the game of soccer.

    understanding and tolerating are two separate things.

    You have to understand growing up in central Minnesota in the late 70's early 80's you played soccer if you didn't make the baseball team.

    In the UP of MI, there was no soccer in the 70's or 80's.

    No high school base team at my school either. In fact, they STILL don't have high school baseball.

    My son just made the U12 division 1 travel team as a ten year old. We are looking forward to a short but fun fall travel season. Glad to see your boy playing Germ!

    I was actually a good soccer player as a kid. Made a travel team. Then, first time trying out, I made a pony league baseball team. I was an OK baseball player.

    I quit playing soccer the next week.

    but enough about dnoodles 30 years ago...


    happy for your kid, Germ.

    Got cut from soccer also,man that sucks Tim.

    My guess is after the 3rd or 4th week of us going back to school will be shut down again.

    So I am glad they get to play

    Actually he is a good kid, kind, helpful and intelligent. Not overly presumptive at all.
    He is quite the aficionado though as our internet subscription bill can attest to so he could follow the leagues in Europe.

    I love watching my youngest play soccer. She just turned 13 and in fact I'm heading down to a 2 day tournament this weekend. Love hanging out with her between games and the hotel. Wouldn't trade it for anything.
