So growing up I played a lot of sports. I only played soccer from the ages of 5 to 10ish (gave it up for football), but I wont lie, it was one of the most enjoyable and entertaining sports for me to play. I even ended up becoming a punter and kicker in football. Flash forward to now, I have recently become absolutely obsessed with the sport. I try to watch that fox soccer channel (TW125) every time im in front of the screen and I catch myself patrolling the Premiere League website every day. I played a little pickup last summer when all my friends were home from school but I just kinda want to play more. Seeing that this is one sport I have never even seen uttered on nyspeed, I was just wondering if any guys on here play rec/follow professional and if so to what extent. ![http://www.geekets.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/futbol.jpg](http://www.geekets.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/futbol.jpg) And that, just because I feel like pussy for liking soccer lol. ---

My entire family is Portuguese so I grew up on soccer and played throughout my childhood. I used to follow it very closely before moving to the US but have since gotten into other things. I really should start following it again and at least playing every so often. ---

Played soccer from when I could walk til when I was 15 and I had a bad injury and had to give up running things. Just got into a league that plays on the riverside by lasalle park, absolutely love it. 21+ leagues are out there, you just have to look for them. ---

Not to be that guy, but I kind of like being the only person I know who follows the Premier League lol. > [@jcruiza120](#): > > Played soccer from when I could walk til when I was 15 and I had a bad injury and had to give up running things.

What do you think the skill level of these leagues are like? Im generally an athletic person but im probably not going to be as good as guys who have been playing rec for a long time yet. ---

> [@Syrup](#): > > ugh soccer lol > > the very word angers me. Haha, I used to be kinda with you but (and im not trying to sound like an old pro here) but it is a really beautiful and complex sport, yet at the same time is so simple making it so entertaining. Watch a game next time the Worlds are on or anything like that. Its some srs bznz. Or just watch a few clips of this [http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5358629040838888300&hl=en](http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5358629040838888300&hl=en) Some pretty good stuff. ---

I played till I blew out my knee 3 times in high school. I’ve played in a couple of rec leagues since, but not in a while. I’d definitely be up for some pickup games or a summer beer league. :tup: ---

MOBOOST The skill level is medium, above house soccer but below travel soccer. We play Wednesday nights at 6 or 7, and we can still take on a couple more players. PM me if you’re interested in getting in on it. 25 for the season + 2 a game for the ref tip. We play at Front Park, by Lasalle Park ---

Hey guys im playing in Hamburg Sunday mornings, pick up. Its super laid back and all the guys that play are great. no slide tackles or fouls, just a great run and some real skilled older fellas. Its like a 21 and older co-ed league so come on out and check it out. Sundays at 9 and the Nike base on Lakeview road. ---

i played soccer from 5 to 17… i love the sport, and am trying to find an adult league for the summer. the only reason i stopped playing in highschool was because i started racing motocross, and that consumed me ---
