Sad story about a young footballer, who died aged 19 after failing to make it big (and going down the path of smuggling drugs...)

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/the-tragedy-of-a-young-talent-who-could-not-handle-failure-7440558.html

It's interesting, the amount of players that must come and go through academies. Must be hard for those who don't make it, especially starting as young as 9/10

I'm pretty sure Liverpool have a psychologist working with the academy to help prepare players for all of what being a footballer brings, but support needs to be there for when players are released.

 

[Salazar]

Christ. Sad is massively understating it.

 

[Rocket Scientist]

Brazil vs. Bosnia soon, Can't wait.

 

[Salazar]

Super Tom's right foot injured.

Was the left last time.

Philosophical Salazar sees this as grounds for optimism rather than despair. I admit the rationality of an opposite reading.

 

[Shake Appeal]

It's interesting, the amount of players this must come and go through academies.

I think about this a lot, about how even the players who make up the numbers for lower-league teams are the tip of a huge pyramid.

 

[LegoArmo]

Football should be played for fun, if you happen to be good enough, great. If you're not, you still should have completed school and you can still go to college. We all wanted to be a footballer when we were young, right?

I guess they put a lot of pressure on these kids from a young age though.

 

[Milchmonster]

I'd get that with just about any German player on it. I'd probably go for Badstuber or Schweinsteiger. What's the keeper's kit looking like? Neuer would be a cool kit to get.

Well, if you don't mind getting laughed at all the time while wearing it, go right ahead.

 

[José Mourinho]

:lol

How many do you think we're going to get beat by today Fady?

I smell 1-0.

 

[Salazar]

Owen Coyle chairing a tactical meeting.

Edit: omg

Ashley Cole will seek to join Barcelona in the summer if Chelsea stick with beleaguered boss Andre Villas-Boas.
The Portuguese is under fire following a disappointing debut season so far at Stamford Bridge and has fallen out with several senior players in the Blues' dressing room.
Cole is understood to be one of those players and was left on the bench for the 3-1 Champions League defeat at Napoli on Tuesday, along with Frank Lampard, and Michael Essien.

You massive deluded twat.

 

[Splatt]

Ashley Cole is such a twat

 

[Kyoufu]

Holy crap.

Just saw the Holland shirt on Soccer AM. DO WANT!

 

[Arnie]

Stevie G on football focus. Gonna get a Spar Glucose energy drink in preparation, and a pack of bacon to cure this hangover. I refrained from posting here last night, always a bad idea after a few.

 

[Messi]

Holy crap.

Yup, pretty sexy allright.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

My god :lol

One or two has already started with the Tunnel cam.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Turn it over to ESPN. This match has the least quality I've ever seen on TV. St Mirren v Aberdeen

 

[GorillaJu]

Ashley Cole is such a twat

I really don't see anything in that article that makes me think it's based in reality.

Though I wouldn't be surprised at all to see some of Chelsea jump ship after such a poor season.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

This Godwin guy is properly shit

 

[Splatt]

I really don't see anything in that article that makes me think it's based in reality.

It's Cole. With him, it's guilty until proven innocent.

[Kyoufu]

So where do I buy the Holland shirt?

 

[dc89]

I like Mata, he's a really good player!

Chelsea will win today, I'm pretty sure of it. Today is the day Nando scores, BELIEVE Fady!

 

[Salazar]

It's Cole. With him, it's guilty until proven innocent.

Paul Merson is irredeemably stupid. I'm watching soccer saturday and he's refusing to give Napoli any credit for beating Chelsea.

He thinks Chelseas were the better team and Napolis goals were just luck. Direct quote "Napoli wouldn't even be a football team without Cavani and Lavezzi". Thats a bit insulting imo.

 

[Wes]

If we lose to Wigan today...

No Afellay, fail I understand though. RVP it is.

Definitely the worst half of competitive football I've ever seen without circumstances like waterlogged pitches

It's harsh and way overstated but Napoli's defense was almost as shit as Chelsea's in that game. A better team would have slaughtered them with the possession Chelsea had in the final third.

[The_Hitcher89]

Christ, couldn't they even cut and crop the players properly?

 

[Clegg]

I know Napoli were poor in defence but it annoys me that Merson can't see anything good from Napoli.

They could've scored 5 against Chelsea but he ignores that and says they were still lucky to win.

 

[Yen]

That's a lovely Germany kit.

Gary Neville was spewing the same nonsense as well, but it's probably because they work for Sky. They don't want to make the second game seem like a dead rubber.

It doesn't look as Kelly Green as some of the early pics showed it.

Are they doing it in long sleeve?

Nope

 

[Vivalaraza]

£60 for the Germany and Holland away shirts on Kitbag. £60?!?!

 

[Salazar]

Nope

MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY.

No filthy wasting of fabric.
