I decided to continue to play but parents had other thoughts. Sports were out of the question at 10 years old and I began to hate everything about them as I couldnt play. I found a fishing rod one day and things went down hill when from there when Dad bought me a fly tying kit for xmas when I was 12. Fishing took the place of sports throughout middle school and high school all thanks to Dad.
I've since found a renewed interest in the game with my son being a sponge absorbing everything he possibly can about the game and playing. Practice 3 times a week with games on Sunday and he will be in the Blackwatch Premeir Academey come fall. He'll be 8 in September and wonders if he's going to start in the Premeir League like Rooney did at 16 on Everton. Anything is possible I suppose.
Was planning on going to see United play in PA when they come in July but the cost of the trip was just a biot much for a 90 minute game. Plus I doubt they would bring all the heavy hitters with the world cup going on.
Numbskull - I'd have to agree, but Messi and Fabragas played together in Barca youth team. A special bond there and I think Cesc could blend right in to the starting team fairly quickly .
Oh and FOX Soccer is in HD on Cox cable. Not sure about GoalTV though.

That's great that you're getting a second chance at it with your son. When I was following the Red Sox religiously with my dad it was probably the closest we've ever been and I'm not sure if I've ever enjoyed anything as much as I did that. Definitely take advantage of every second of it.
Cox must be a RI cable provider. Neither Comcast, Dish, or Direct TV have Fox Soccer in HD but they all play the feed that has the Fox Soccer HD logo in the corner of the screen. Drives me nuts!
