Well, this season it sounds like he will get his azz kicked in the farmers league, so you'll get the best of both worlds. -
Now past 650k views! More than halfway to the 01 girls, and their discussion of whether the 2001 FC team finished fourth or fifth.Comment

Haha...as if you know anything. Pretty sure your kid rides the bench on an OYSA team, mouth breather.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

If he's an 05, there was no DA when that age group was in U12 (Timbers or otherwise). Unless your kid is playing up, and you are confusing his age with his team's age, the above makes little sense.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
And I'm not from OPFC.
So is he still with TA, or is one of the latest BM hail marys? Or did he go to WashT so he can still lose every weekend in Seattle? (Or is he back with the F-bombs, in which case I'll have another batch of onion rings and Spanish coffee?)Comment

Local 05 to play in Europe
Rumor has it that one of our top boys will be playing in Europe for at least the next year. A club there wanted to take a closer look at him. Would be a good opportunity for him. A good boy with a good work ethic.Comment

It would be cool if a local boy got a legitimate training opportunity abroad. However...Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
1) FIFA regulations make it hard for minors to travel abroad for soccer purposes--unless he has a passport with an EU country (the EU is, more or less, considered one country by FIFA for this purpose), he probably wouldn't be able to register with an Italian club (pro or amateur, doesn't matter). The main exception is a child whose family travels to Italy for "purposes unrelated to soccer"--if his dad's employer transferred the dad to Italy, and the family moved there, then he could register with an Italian club, but would have to show that the reason for the move wasn't soccer related.
The same rules apply to foreign nationals playing for US clubs. I can think of several examples of such at our club; part of the documentation that the club office must collect is evidence that the family is not in the US for soccer purposes, and this is a strictly amateur, pay-to-play club that does NOT recruit abroad.
2) I can't think of any 05s who are of sufficient quality that a foreign pro club would be interested in them, at least as a prospect to provide free training to. Nobody in this class is so far ahead of the pack that I could hazard a guess who it is. (Maybe one of the current or former FC keepers, but how they stack up against the global keeper pool at this age I've no idea; both are highly skilled but both are large for their age). Of course, the original post said nothing about "free training", or which club, so this could be something other than e.g. AS Roma taking a flyer on a local kid--it could even be a scam, or a pay-to-play arrangement being presented as the equivalent of an academy contract with a legitimate pro club. The key word is "could"; insufficient information has been provided to judge one way or the other.Comment

Pay the money
You pay 15K register for a student visa and play at some over rated soccer academy.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
