Trying to put together a travel team here (SW Virginia). I coach my son's team, but the level of competition is no where near the level we were used to in South Carolina (CESA).

Shoot Bill, you are farther along than I was at 16. I never played overseas and still made it into the A-league. Get back into it! It sounds like you have a pretty good shot.

OK I got ya. I guess it's different for me since I've not been a player for almost ten years. I tried to get back in after the butt break, but the conditioning/reflexes killed me. I was marginal, at best, since I was a sucker for crosses (vampire) so I would have had to work harder than the next guy to have a shot. I wish I had though. Too late now. Too many years of sitting on my hind end watching. Since I can't do....I COACH!
Did you watch the Man U/Milan game tonight. I thought the officiating was lacking, but Milan played a very smart game. The rest of the UEFA cup should be very interesting.

When I was in the Air Force and overseas in Germany (from 1996 to 1999) I used to go to quite a few games from surrounding pro teams in the NL and Germany. I also played indoor soccer. Our team was horrible. We were on a NATO air base and our (the US team) best player was a young Dutch guy that I worked with so he was able to play with us. But the German, Dutch, Turkish, Italians, Belgian (to name a few) air force members had their own team. They killed us. REPEATEDLY for all three years. I made a choice that I would never, EVER again play goalie on an indoor soccer league.
I now live in KC and we have the wizards professional team here. We haven't gone to any of the games, but perhaps we will catch one this year sometime.
Great topic

^^I think so too. That game against ManU was amazing.
The Chelsea Vs Arsenal game was disappointing...congrats to ManU though for taking the EPL
