I always wondered how soccer players who are some of the fittest people on earth fail a medical when you’re about to sign a big contract

2x a week pickup, and 1x a week league (when leagues are going). 33yo.

Damn

i play 11v11 90min pickup once a week. I am 37yrs old. Have not gone out though since quarantine started.

 

[ajiiiplatinum]

My 2 boys that grew up playing have been gearing up for the over 40 leagues (we’re 28 ) they want me to join but that’s pure skill, no athleticism, idk if I could hang I stopped playing when I was like 13

i am almost there.
The pickup i play in is all ages but i like playing with older cats because they are more careful. The younger dudes (20s) act like they are playing in a champions league final.
i also feel like I’m ronaldo vs the 40+ crowd

I'm dead at the Champions League Final statement. My boys told me the same thing. I've never played in an organized club/team so when we just run a pickup game I go full kit wanker and champions league final, chicken with its head cut off running around in midfield.

I once had someone tell me he wears his ****** jerseys for pick up games and if I'm doing the same with my City shirt of course dude turned out to be a United fan

Used to play once a week for a year or two until people stopped showing up. Played basketball my entire youth and I would always get winded by like 30 minutes of running, idk how yall did it.

[whtascene]

Visiting teams to Goodison Park change in a makeshift changing room in the carpark.....

Which of the two keepers makes the first howler?

 

[Sinner]

Merseyside Derby time! Let’s see if Pool can pull off the upset!

 

[rolaholic]

Jesus...

What a goal

Robertson with the perfect pass and Mane smashed that

 

[sonoftony]

Mane getting it in early

 

[8pm at msg]

Ugly start for Everton

 

[whtascene]

Pickford got lucky could have been sent off and conceded the penalty.

 

[macbk]

Cool so no red for Pickford....

 

[rolaholic]

Damn VVD off with injury...

 

[rolaholic]

Tie game

Great delivery by James on the corner

 

[sonoftony]

Derby lit

 

[whtascene]

Fabinho barely jumped.

 

[swerve]

TAA is nasty with the free kicks. Good save by Pickford.

 

[sonoftony]

Richarlison saved a goal from that clearance

 

[Sinner]

How is Pickford still on the pitch.

 

[LA Diggler]

Pickford is lucky to still be on the pitch

 

[sonoftony]

what a pass Jamesito

 

[LA Diggler]

James finally gets a kick and look what happens. Expected DCL to score

 

[swerve]

Ziyech could make his debut today
