9 Year Old Soccer Prodigy

[tfinch2]

Pretty awesome vid. Not doubting the kids skills but he's playing against older kids and he looks to be the same size.

LOL

First of all, the kid's got talent, no question.

Two things:
1. On several occasions I saw where a goal would of been less work if he had just passed to a wide open teammate in front of the goal. That may come with some more maturity.
2. The goalies he's going against can't exactly reach the top of the goal yet! . A lot of the shots were over their heads.

I dunno... I coached little kids for years, and every couple of years, we'd have a kid who looked like that compared to the other kids. Show me an entire game, not just the highlights of the kid and then I'd have something to form a real opinion from. I had a kid on my team when he was 8 years old - there wasn't another kid on any of the other teams who could stop him. If he got the ball, he went from one end to the other and scored a goal. Once he got up to high school, and the other kids developed skills, he was still a pretty good player, but didn't stand out that much any more. At least I taught him how to pass the ball and not be a ball hog! (once we were winning 10-2, he'd pass off to one of the average kids on the team to give the other kids a chance to score goals)

NFL celebration? What are you talking about?

What, are you high? Go back and watch the video, and you will see a kid kneeling and him putting his shoe on the kid's thigh. Then the kid pretends to shine his shoe, much like a celebration that has been done in the NFL before. Don't question what I am talking about, get exposed to something other than porn and RPGs before you ask someone what they are talking about. Moron.

NFL ripped off this celebration long ago. Maradona and one of his teammates first did it. OMG AMERICANS...

"He still needs to be a kid," said Prado, who does not allow Jean to talk to reporters.

Good mom.

 

[iwantanewcomputer]

the song at the end is the final countdown.

Football > Futbol

 

[Krk3561]

Wow, what a talent!

 

[illusion88]

pretty impressive kid. I hope in 9 years he will still be as good and if not better.

 

[treemonkey]

Moral of the video: Chipping is very effective against 4' tall goalkeepers.

 

[pmoa]

Ive seen that as well. Great players pre-HS turn out to be good, but more average in HS.

BTW, why did you run up the score 10-2? A bit unportsmenlike.
