I'm tall, strong and a good defensive unit but I'm also slow, and clumsy when not confident.

Mate, you're perfect for your Benfica!

Well, when i used to play club soccer i was a good player, but since i've stopped i've become worse and worse.

I was a right/left back occasional striker.

i'm poor at keepie uppies, my best is only around 30

I'm actually pretty good. This means zero when said in an internet forum, but I'm doing a little video that I'll post it here to prove it. Just a couple of nice moves (nutmeg, etc.) and juggling the rock a bit.

Of course, you can be the best dribbler in the world and still suck at football. To be honest, I rarely use any of my arsenal of feints in a game, although I am a striker.
I'm ambidexter, nice first-touch (can control the ball easily with both feet), fast, jump very high and shoot well.

Speaking of which, anyone want to do a little football game next June? Hopefully there'll be enough soccergamers coming to Portugal for the Euro.

I've played pretty high at amateur level, but that's it. I had a good pass, good vision and a good shot, but definately not a great technique. Adding to that I was kinda lazy. I hated chasing players and balls. :P

I just enjoyed playing games, quit three ago though, because I went to uni.

I have a good first touch, and a good concentration level

I practice tricks every day and i can do 100 pretty easily in keeping the ball up. My score varies

I have developed later than most of my footballing friends, but i've improved so much as i've gotton older. Im 15 now and i'll be playing in the youth under 18's league next season so that'll be tough.

Hopefully after that season i have developed a bit more physically and am able to get a trial or two for a semi pro/pro club, n see where i go from there.

I have it skill wise and pace wise, I admit that... I played in a mens game the other day n damn how many times did i get fouled, it was a joke.

But i enjoy doing keep ups, my garden sux so much, it's got like 500 holes but i still try my best

Hopefully ima go play soon, I cant go a day without playing...

I'd rather play football than do nothing else in the world

It's the most important thing to me

i can juggle a little, but i dont work on it alot. sometimes i play butts up or whatever.

i can't head the ball very well, but im a good dribbler. i can pass too, and my shot is pretty strong. only problem is i havent scored much, but now that im playing forward, i should be scoring tons

 

[Fernandez]

I don't really play soccer. I play futsal, a modified game of soccer. I
just pass the ball around like a DM. But I can't shoot.

[gagiz]

IM pretty good at juggling, my highest is about 200. IM very good at strting plays tho And finishing dem.

 

[PSVFOREVER]

Well, technical I suck at football, but I've got a good shot and a good tackle, and I'm strong.

But technical, ouch, bad. My record juggling is 18

edit: I'm talking about football here, not soccer. It's football

I know what you mean , I played a sub-18 league this year and i was the youngest one on the team and the other team foul like bitches. Right when I get past them there they come with a horrible tackle.Its because theyre afraid of getting tricked by a younger guy.

Well, Juggling I usually lose count after like a 150 because Ill be talking with someone or something. In Real footy I am very good technically and have a good shot and passing but when it comes to defence,I suck. Except when I just got fouled really bad, i usually go on a rage for the ball.

 

[Aveirenses]

I'm a pretty experienced player.

I have just about played anywhere on the pitch. I've played left back and left midfield most though, since I get more creative passes there, and I have a good defensive attitude, I'm not afraid to go for the ball and miss, because I have good speed to catch up with the guy before he gets far.

I've also played goalie a few times but not in real matches. I don't feel comfortable, so big a space for someone to shoot. But i have good angle positioning on the corners, and I rush out well, but I don't think I could ass myself to dive into a corner or save the ball with my feet.

 

[don vag]

I can't juggle for ****! The most I ever done was 10 maybe. I do not play that much because of my knee, but I also suck One skill that I do have though is that I am very fast with the ball Passing or shooting, I try my best, but I am not that good.

 

[Tom]

im ****, the most kickups i can do is about 20-30, really ****.

TROD.

Yea man I understand what u mean

We kinda sound the same

I find it though when I play against men, im so much faster, it's brilliant... How smart do I look in ma blue + white mercurials

Haha good luck in the future bud, cya around sometime mebbe

 

[rony31]

my record for keep-ups is 3 and a half

I can rumble up and down the field and smack the ball and pass, but I'm no trickster

plus, I'm a fatarse

 

[EugeneF]

I have great technical abilities. I can shoot, pass, juggle, see the field. It's all great.
...
I also run a 10 minute mile.

That isn't very good. You were either running with bricks around your ankles or you are incredible slow.

As for Juggling, well I don't know how much I have done because I can't count and juggle at the same time. So I have no clue how much I have done.

Anyway I play as striker and as a RM sometimes. The strengths of my game are that I am very pyshical when I play. I am 6'2 and I pretty much push and shove whenever I have a chance. Alot on corners and stuff. I am a little pacey but I mostly get an advantage by pushing off when I am dribbling. If a defender comes up to me on my side then I just my arm to keep him at bay. Doing this either gets me free into to space or makes him commit a foul as refs will rarely call a foul on the Offensive player if both players are making contact. Thw other big part of my game is that I do not stop talking. I either talk trash to the other team or I bitch at refs. You would be surprsied at how many calls I get.

 

[Aveirenses]

Yeah a 10 minute mile isn't that good. If it was 2 miles it'd be good. Most people on my team do it at about 4 minutes.
