Confrontation wants me to change my avatar, but it fits me so well that I don't want to.
Still fantastic fun. I love playing it more than watching, need to get my conditioning up though and some more routine in my play. Too much loss of possession by bad passes and lack of control on the first touch, but that's all about practice.
It's either that or a Pats/Brady avatar, right? No-win situation either way.
Anyway, good to know you play some soccer too. I was on my way to a nice semi-pro contract (usually around €750-1000 per month in lower leagues here) myself about 6 years ago. Came from the juniors to the reserves late in the season and the following off-season worked my balls off and instantly got a starting spot at the first team in the last couple of friendlies, just before the league started. Coaches come to me one day saying that they're gonna offer me a full contract during the Winter break but they first want me to play some league games early in the season at the reserves, trying too 'ease' me into the first squad. I was 18 at the time and they wanted me to put on some muscle aswell lol.
What happens? 5 Mins into the first game of the season with the reserves, some asshole tackles me from behind, right on my left ankle. Tore everything, season over and career aswell. I stil get flashbacks to that tackle.
Left Wingback, up and down the pitch, all day, every day.
