In an alternate universe, Pat McAfee is USMNT's new captain, playing club soccer at a decent team in Europe.

[@bishopm4401]

US teenage teenage mutant ninja turtles is how I read that

[@cpmenninga]

Some of pat’s contemporaries: Clint Dempsey (premier league star) Tim Howard (premier league superstar) Landon Donavon (MLS superstar). Pat was coming up when there was real talent on USMNT.

[@felipewilliams3047]

cpmenninga saying that Dempsey was a PL star and Howard a superstar is a big stretch buddy. Dempsey was an OKish player for mid table sides and Howard was a good GK for a mid table team. At their best they were good PL players, but stars? No way

[@toastedt140]

@@felipewilliams3047 You're forgetting that Howard played great for Man United and Ferguson only sold him because Howard screwed up and let in a free kick because he used a 3 man wall instead of a 4 man wall. I agree with you on Dempsey but you can't sleep on the man who has the most saves in a world cup game.

[@felipewilliams3047]

Hey Howard made a lot of mistakes while at United, that’s why they had to buy Van der sar. The two seasons he played were so inconsistent, he was constantly getting dropped for the sub GK, who was awful as well. But when he was at Everton he proved that he was a good PL GK. He isn’t one of the great GKs of all time, one of the greatest PL keepers of all time. He even wouldn’t be in the conversation of best GK in the continent. He was a good GK for everton for a lot of years. He is the USA greatest GK of all time for sure tho. Bear in mind, I’m not saying that he is not good, I’m only saying that the PL is in another level.

Played with pat in high school, the 2 mile 12 min thing was legit. Factor in it was August (90s) and if you didn’t make it under 12 you had to run it again. The worst.

[@nickshelton8423]

aj3369 most high school soccer teams make you run that

[@RonJohnson43]

Our school would do that too and there were super athletic players who could run for days but sucked at soccer and the coach would love them just cause they can run 2 miles in 11 minutes instead of 13

[@5dollrftlongXD]

I do believe it is called the cooper test. That's what we called it when I played anyway.

[@wayj7387]

@@5dollrftlongXD That's exactly what it's called.

[@morganzimmerglass9925]

aj3369 almost no high schoolers can run 2 miles in under 12. Our coaches would make a huge deal about having to do it under 12 but almost everyone would be at least like 30 seconds over if not more. And do you mean your coaches would make you run it again the same day??

[@mrqh406]

This dude have stories for days....I will listen 😎

[@JTheMoneyable]

The FitnessGram Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [Beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [Ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word "start". On your mark, get ready, start.

As a goalkeeper I had a coach who told/taught me to step on the back of peoples heals (Achilles area) during corners and set pieces.

[@SensitiveHomie310]

I remember my coach tell me to push attackers into the group during corners hoping they trip up. I played goalie and rightback, so many dirty things i learned

[@slinkingslug]

Matt Rags Kick people in the Achilles when nobody is looking. By the end of the game they have no acceleration left

[@LunaticTheCat]

Damn, that's kinda fucked up. But I bet that sort of thing is pretty common.

[@stevedavis8123]

I was a Keeper and well and my coach did not teach me that I learned it on my own. I hated when they would try to lean against me on corner kicks to I would step past them and stick my cleat right on top of their big toe.

[@ryanturner8577]

As a center forward, I used to get all of that during corners. But I'd step on their toes with all my weight with my heal as I went to the near post. They stopped after that.

[@jessehernandez1081]

Soccer or world football, requires a lot of stamina. Pros average like over 6 miles in runs per 90 minutes.

[@garak55]

That's not very much though, is it? Normal walking speed for humans is like 3.1 mph so around 4.6 miles in 90 minutes. That doesn't scream "elite pro athlete" to me.

[@alexanderstrain6250]

Yeah but it is all stop start with jogging and sprinting. Plus you have to stay super focused so it’s pretty draining.

[@garak55]

@@alexanderstrain6250 I didn't see it that way. Soccer players are exceptionally agile and the focus needed to keep control must be quite intense. Makes sense being even a bit winded should make a big impact on performance.

After a productive 3 week Vogelsinger soccer academy in Santa Barbara back in 1997, we were scrimmaging the girls team for fun. As a midfielder, I took possession and began advancing the ball. Nobody was on me and I just took off straight up the gut towards the goal. About halfway there, I was chased down and tackled (kicked) from behind... rupturing my Achilles and virtually ending any shot I had at a scholarship.
