SoxFan1 Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 My 1st practice for HS was this morning at 9:30 AM. Man, I was pretty out of shape but my workout regimen is getting more intense. Any other soccer players? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeNukeEm Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Our Football coach LOVES Soccer players. We always find the one with strongest leg, and make him our K. That screws the Soccer team though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox_Sonix Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I used to play soccer in HS. Double-sessions and Pele drills the first two weeks back were hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Not many white guys on our soccer teams, usually the white/black kids stuck to football and the mexicans played soccer, so I stuck to my 4 years of football and left the soccer to the guys who played it since birth. We had a pretty decent soccer team and a pretty s***ty football team. The guys on the soccer team could do some absolutely amazing things with a soccer ball.

SleepyWhiteSox Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I played through high school...Defense, sweeper. We were bad, but had a great time... I miss being in shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shouldn't have eaten all those chips and drank that pop. Surprisingly, my skills were sharper than expected after such a long layoff. I also got my cleats in today....whoot whoot!

ChiSox_Sonix Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 11:00 PM) Position??? Right forward. We played a 3-5-2 but it was really like a 3-1-4-2 if you know what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday I played Left-Back D and Goalie but I'll probably be playing left mid most because just about everyone on my team is left footed and I'm good with both.

whitesoxin' Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 My HS team won state last year, but I wasn't on the team. I played soccer as a little kid and I wasn't that bad, but I just found it boring. Too much running too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still carrying the scars of a pick up game against kids while on holiday. I was never any good at scool, couldn't run and kick at the same time! Rugby was my game. I used to play on the wing becaude I was fast. Running marathons (slowly) is my only sporting outlet these days.

Getting soccer shoes was actually one of my favorite parts of playing soccer during high school. At that time, Mexican League players were beginning to distinguish themselves by wearing soccer shoes of all sorts of different colors, and usually team colors, when black was still the norm... During the '98 World Cup, one of the players that I used to like came out with green, white, and red shoes, and I couldn't take my eyes off of them. I went to Mexico that summer to visit family, and I was able to find them being sold, so I bought a pair. After that I was hooked on the brand. One of the things I like about Concord brand, and other Mexican brands, is that you can get the shoes that big-name soccer players in Mexico wear, but they're relatively inexpensive. I was getting mine for about $40 a pair, and they were great-quality, along with getting to see the players wear them on TV. I wore these the following season, metallic silver on the outside, a powder blue on the inner part, and flueoresent yellow studs and emblem. I also got a black pair with flueoresent yellow emblem and a white pair with a blue emblem after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna buy a pair of pink and white Diadora studs to be a little showoff and as a joke but I decided to get a better pair. I used to have a pair of lime green Addidas that I would wear to soccer practices just to showoff with the guys. Good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
