I am not even going to pretend that I know everything there is to know about soccer. Even though I sort of enjoy watching it from time to time and I even have a favorite MLS team, that still doesn’t coincide with the fact that I do not know nearly anything about the sport. I know the general stuff like what a corner kick is and how you receive one and what the difference between a red and a yellow card is. But that is about it. But I do know one thing… Soccer players are cry babies.
This fact is known by every sports fan across the world. I have seen a player get nudged, literally launch themselves to the ground, and then curiously look up at the referee for a card. I mean honestly, grow some balls dude. Have some damn sportsmanship.
This brings me to my main point… Real Madrid, one of the best soccer teams in the world, signed a seven year old to a contract. Let me reiterate. A SEVEN YEAR OLD! Who the hell does that? I don’t care if he’s the second coming of Jesus Christ himself, the kid is seven years old people. How could you possibly tell that the kid is going to be so good that you have to nab him before the ripe old age of 7 ½? Look at this kid, he still believes in the damn tooth fairy for God sake.
If this is the direction that professional soccer is going then I guess I will have to live with it. I don’t agree with it but I guess I could try and help out. My brother and sister in law just had a baby not long ago, you could take a look at her skills. Well, she is a girl though so I guess she couldn’t play for you, Real Madrid. But there is little Jimmy down the street. He might fit what you are looking for in the future.
