D1 Recruit chooses soccer over football

[beejus]

If he was gonna see any of that top 20 soccer money he woulda been playing on a champions league level team already

Oh I know that.

Think of how many kids think they'll make it big in the pros only to fade into obscurity before they even make money. Chances are he has no future in soccer at all.

Unless he's after that MLS money.

Hope it works out, and who knows if he'll be a trendsetter. I want soccer to work for US athletes. It's about that time.

Bet he has better technique than that fraudster Lukaku @Ari Gold Bawse @gho3st

IDK about this. If he was the equivalent of a 4 star prospect in soccer he would already be signed to a major european team

nikka sees these players go crazy.

I see what you are saying BUT not too many European scouts in rural America. If he does well in college he can make MLS, get noticed for national team, and after that sky is the limit. Not easy but not impossible

Just thought about, he's probably on the Coli and been seeing all these Ballotelli threads

He must be Jamaican with all these jobs

Dude has options. Look at those kids from Africa who don't grow up playing basketball. Here in America, we send kids to basketball camp to improve their skills, sign them up to play in elite travel leagues, put them in private prep school, and it's all expensive. Noel Embiid... is tall and athletic and became a first round draft pick.
As for football, an injury can take you out of sports forever. Soccer, you can play into your late 30s. And your options are wider, big money pro leagues in England, Germany, Italy, Spain, France, and MLS. Football, it's just the NFL or you can take an L and play in the CFL.

Good for him. Do what you wanna do, as long as it aint JUST for the money. If my body could perform up to that level, there aint a single thing I'd rather do than be a corner or safety in the league. LAWD it would be fun to be part of a top defense.
