Messi just proved modern wingers suck. 39 year old man showing you how to put in a cross with his weak foot while these 120 million dollar primadonnas overhit or cant send a good one on their strong foot.
Alexis Lalas: you think our government should give money so kids can play soccer? I’m sorry but NO! That’s not the way to fix it!
Mexico President:
I want to find more Gil Mora. (17yrs old)
I will create a program to scout and develop boy and girls in and out side the field. The plan is to take high development “soccer” to more than 28k schools around the country. Create more than 2k certified Academies to help impulse new talent. Also every team from the Mexican league will join the project with donating Academic and Athletic scholarships. So the talent won’t depend where you from or how much income your family makes. The goal is to have those kids that now play in a dirt field to the best stadiums in the world.
Cristiano Ronaldo begged for hamburgers outside McDonalds. He’d never turn pro in America
Messi’s parents were factory workers. He’d never turn pro in America
Lalas went to boarding school. Failed to get into college until his dad made a call to Rutgers. He went pro in America
