OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Keeper is hard. You have two results: hero and zero! Everyone blames the keeper!She's a natural and has no fear! Her worst loss was a 7-2 to a U12 team when she was U-10... They were beaten by sheer size! Even matches she rarely lets more than two past.My favorite save was the game when both her coach and I thought she was not paying attention. She was squatting in the goal looking as if she was picking dandelions and her coach was ready to sub her out. The ball was kicked high and tight to the corner and Mac flew up with one hand up and tipped it over. I was amazed and her coached looked at me with an expression that read, "how the hell did she see that coming, let alone make the save"!Thankfully here she plays a mix of keeper and left mid. It is better for her ball skills!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HDThe team I help coach played a league game about 3 weeks ago and we played a team who had 3 guys playing who were what about 6 ft at least. I'm not even joking 2 out of the 3 of them might have been taller than me (6 ft 2) and they were both broad as well, I think for younger age groups its more difficult against bigger players because they think they are going to get hurt by the bigger guys. I don't know if they were over the age limit or what but the last time my mates dad (who is a coach) asked about a player he thought was well over the age group he got a load of stick so I just left it lol.

BluesChick 1,260 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 @ryan I think that is correct, especially at the middle school years size can differ so much!! @gary, it was a thing of beauty, she is so matter of fact about that it is hard to compliment her. If we ad stayed in he US I think she would be ODP, but we are in China so we do what we can to keep her skills honed. Oh, my son looks like his dad and acts like me!! My daughter looks like me but acts like dad... It is odd.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD gary gordon and OneMoSalah 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is odd.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HDIts nice to hear as well that your daughter is playing football because up here girls playing football is really unheard of. There is a girl in the age group I coach and I'm going to be honest, she is probably the best player in the team except for a lad that plays with Inverness u13 or 14s and is training with Scotland. A lot of people just assume that girls shouldn't play football and its really really unfair I think, the lassie that plays in the team is really good as well, she trained with Brora Rangers ladies under 17s when she was what 11 or 12 and apparently she was scoring 4 or 5 goals a game for them. She comes from a footballing family and her brother as well who is my age was a quality footballer but hes gone down the wrong path.

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 http://forum.talkchelsea.net/topic/297-mugshots/?p=633789 ?However, there was indeed a period I was very fat (80-81kg), but now I am back with 69kg! P.S: If you are going to insult me, please be a man and use your main account! That is really not fat mate! Rmpr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amblève. 4,995 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 That is really not fat mate! If you were 140cm tall 81kg would definitely be too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rmpr 8,977 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 That is really not fat mate! Hahaha, thanks mate, but 81kg for a 173cm guy (5ft-8/9 I think) is fat! For instance, Hazard is 171cm and weigth 66kg. Imagine him with 80kg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine him with 80kg! Yes but Hazard is a professional athlete, he has to be in good shape. Na 81kg for someone around 5 ft 8 or 9 isn't as bad as you make out. Certainly doesn't mean your fat! The term fat is thrown around too much, when someone says fat I think of morbidly obese. Someone who's a bit overweight isn't really fat, they are slightly overweight. I know many people say slightly overweight is fat but I don't think it is. Not saying your overweight/were overweight in that photo either by the way. Isn't 80 or 81 kilos not 12 or 13 stone anyway? That is not fat or overweight. BlueDude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I get what you are saying, but I was indeed a bit fat tbh...Also, in that photo I wasnt 81kg, I was around 72kg (I guess), lmao! I will take a pic of my great athletic form and post here anytime soon, let me just finish my exams and I will have enough time to do so, lol!

Barbara, I go to Mechanical Engineering. It is not hard to make into any team when you are surrounded to nerdy asian kids. I am just normal for someone who plays it regularly...I play tennis since 3yo, if I was bad something would be wrong. But now I only play for fun or with my brother (whom I am teaching)!
