I think if you find a lower league team with a practice squad, that'd be way better than just doing anything by yourself or with one guy price gouging you. It's difficult to find a club like that, though, because most of them don't like putting even their reserves against a bunch of cloggers that could injure someone. Stanway used to have one before they changed managers.

Sprint up a football pitch on a hill kicking a ball until you throw up and dribble against a wall for hours.

Practice bicycle kicks on a trampoline until you throw up/your knees give out.

It's taken me a year and a half, but I can finally say I know what it feels like to nutmeg someone and seemlessly accelerate past them down the wing, then deliver a perfect cross into the box. Too bad nobody was there to receive it. Felt good to torch someone like that, though.

Just practice yelling at people while you point down to your feet. Blame everyone for bad passes and really work on that petulant "thanks for the poo poo pass, everybody else" face, all the greats had one. But really do all the things people have mentioned and just stick yourself in some pick up games. Even if you have great touch and skill if you don't understand how to put yourself into space to receive the ball, or if you're a defender how to cut down that space and tackle people, you're not going to be any good in an actual game.

Sprint up to a shop on a hill and ask for Nike Mercurial Victory boots until you throw up and buy them and thank me for hours.

Sprint to your nearest Sports Direct for the best prices on Mercurial Vapors but do it now to avoid disappointment. Also make sure you vomit at some point, maybe against a wall for a few hours.

My vapors are in the mail. I can't wait to vomit. SG type though because Germany vomits a lot on their pitches.

FG boots with the plastic studs are good for 3G turf.

It's off anyway because those retards couldn't bring themselves to book a court.

I played a few casual games like that, where they turn up and don't book a court so sneak in and play in pitch black and honestly it makes my blood boil.

Make a tight ball of rags, soak it in kerosene for a couple of days and then light it up and play soccer with it. Just don't play with a goalie. Or anywhere where they might care if you set things on fire. Also, um, for legal reasons this is a joke and don't do it (but if you decide to do so take photos because it's awesome).

A few friends of mine ask me to play in goal for their team when their keeper isnt available. I get asked quite a lot so I always make the joke their keeper is some kind of sicknote, apparently back injuries that just wont go away. I turned up tonight and they said they need me to be their keeper now as their normal guy said this isn't worth a serious back injury. On the one hand great, an extra game every week, on the other hand, I was playing loads anyway and as a stand in I was excused from paying haha. oh well more football for me

I've been playing soccer since January and I feel my indoor game is way worse than my outdoor game. I just can't get used to the pacing. I think practicing against a wall will help me there and get me a better first touch. One of my problems is protecting the ball and with how limited the spacing can be in indoor, I get punished easily. Any tips for that?

O -- Y -- B Key: O - opponent Y - you B - ball As a result, your rear end, or at least your side, will be facing up the pitch most of the times you have the ball. As they've already said, forget dribbling forward unless you're in a massive indoor arena. Practice your one-touch passes and the pass-and-run.

League started here and I missed my first few games due to being in Italy and Albania. I do have a pair of CTR360 Maestri's waiting for me though. Huge step up from the Adidas Preditos I was wearing before. The loving lethal zones was just paint! Also Vapors are loving awesome.

About a month or so ago I got stepped on in a game, a single stud to the base of the nail on my big toe. Now that the nail's grown out a bit, this has appeared: It's almost the German flag, which would be fitting given my heritage, but the stripes are out of order. It's also almost the Belgian flag, just turned on it's side and stretched. But a bit of googling shows that it's actually the Idi Amin-era flag of the Ugandan People's Congress. Now, if it had been vaguely person-shaped then I could've claimed it was the Virgin Mary and charged people to see it/touch it/pray to it/whatever. But this, this is worthless. And a bit disconcerting.

No, I can't even feel it, and I didn't really notice it until the bruise started to appear. Got worse problems now, though. Had our first scrimmage for the season and the other team was short, so one of our center backs switched over, a giant Cameroonian. I got the ball at the top of the 18, squared it up for a straight-on shot, and he came and planted that size 14 right in front of the ball about half a second before I hit it, full force. Needless to say, being nearly a foot shorter and probably 50 lbs lighter I went down straight over, but not before my foot got bent back what felt like 180 degrees. Maybe I'm being a whiny bitch (I am), but gently caress, blocking a shot like that is what you do when you want to take someone out. You don't do it to your own teammate, Jesus. Got it on ice now, hurts like a motherfucker.

Woot! Last game of the regular season and I got my second goal of the year (and 4th in 3 years with this team  )! Chipped the goalie from outside the box near the sideline and it went in the top right corner . Sadly the ball later viciously attacked my knee and now I have some pretty bruising to remember the game. Still, considerably better than every other goal I've ever scored (of which there are so many...).
