I’m trying out for the soccer team this spring and I need some ways to practice and get in shape.

Europe has Soccer (Football) academies where you start out with the youth program, but since i moved to the U.S. from Europe, i don’t know where to start, there’s so many pointless leagues that lead nowhere, i’ve asked so many people about it and the best answer i got was to wait till college soccer, i just want to make sure that i’m not waisting my time, so please, be as specific as possible.

Hi my cousin doesnt speak any english, but he is a really really good soccer player, he is currently living in colombia, he has a demo but colombian soccer isnt very kind with pure talent and heart. What can i do?

I enjoy playing soccer for fun and would maybe want to join a team. I understand the game and have decent skills, but these will be my first pair of cleats. I was looking at Under Armour cleats and they looked good, but I have no brand preference. Also, no more than . Thanks.

For the sake of a compilation I am making, I would like to know what your most inspirational soccer moments are.

I’m trying to include clips from many sports so I can only choose a few soccer clips.
This can be an amazing comeback, a great goal, some good skill or just some great team work!

An example of my own would be the Arsenal Match against Inter Milan (Internazionale) in which Thierry Henry pretty much single-handedly destroyed one of the best teams in Europe.

Thanks for every answer!

I know i probably sound really clueless, but i have played softball before and not soccer, and im planning on playing soccer and idk if i should buy new cleats or if i can wear the same ones i used in softball??? thnx for the help!

Going to college right now, I saw the class playing when i passed by the soccer field and looked it up. I played soccer for about 6 or 7 years until i was about 11 or 12. Rusty and probably would be demolished by the competion in the class, how should i prepare what things should i try to have down before joining the class. I consider myself self pretty athletic and pick up things quickly. Any ideas on what i should do would be great!

Soccer (futbol) is the world’s most popular sport. Yet football, basketball, baseball, heck even golf are all more popular in this country.

What is up with the lack of popularity of the world’s most popular sport in the US?

Traditionaly, a soccer (football) is supposedly more likely to give up a goal in the period following a score. Are there any statistics that I could use to test this?

I am starting a youth soccer imtermural league and am a little uncertain on how big to strip the feild. I read that a 40 yard x 70 yard feild is good, but do you still strip the 6 and 18 the same way or the center circle?
