How many of you play football...

    and what position, style do you have?

    My position is attacking mid and of course my style of play follows Eden Hazard, but tbh is prob more similar to Jasper Gronkjaer :P. My weaknesses are tackling, strength, endurance and I tend to dwell on the ball a bitl but I can run really fast in bursts, have a great first touch and a decent dribbler. I like creating for others :)

    What about you guys?

    Does FIFA count?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,296 ✭✭✭EdenHazard


    Haha well are most of boards football watchers or players? Personally I like watching football, but nothing beats playing.

    1.Playing
    2.Watching a big game like world cup final
    3.Going to a live game
    4.Watching a random match on tv.

    I like to play the wide receiver role. I'm quite pacy, yet I'm also stocky so I'm hard to knock down.

    One mad goalkeeper reporting for duty. I reckon I'm pretty good at it, if I do say so myself.

    Crap goalie, in fairness.

    Look at the size of the ball. It'd be hard not to save it.

    During my trials with Liverpool, I was compared to Steven Gerrard. But only because I was actually on trial in Liverpool.

    Currently semi retired. Used to play as a striker. Id compare my playing style as a mix between Sergio Aguero and Philly Hughes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,623 ✭✭✭double GG


    When I was under 10's I started as a goal keeper, From there I went to play CB, LB up until U.16's where I went to CM, and currently aged 20 I'm playing Up front, being top scorer last season.

    I'm a big guy with a good bit of pace, good strength and passing, and now turning into a lethal finisher. Hopefully I get back playing before the end of the season though! I'm a Falcao type of player. :pac:

    I'm a defensive midfielder when I play (Not that often). I like to think I have the tactical brain of Busquets and the actual ability to play of Michael Brown. I do a great hacking down of opposition. :3


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,949 ✭✭✭✭Mars Bar


    I'm CM or Striker on 11 a side pitches. No matter which team I join I know for a fact I'm gonna be the slowest there, so I compensate with a decent first touch and good reading of the game.

    In 5 or 7 a side, I like being the player that comes deep to collect the ball and turn to make something happen.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 922 ✭✭✭MyBrokenKnees


    I always play left back.. Left back in the dressing room :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,553 ✭✭✭✭Copper_pipe


    I take the throw ins


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,838 ✭✭✭✭3hn2givr7mx1sc


    Scored like 7 goals in 2 games at lunch-time against the 6th years when I was in 3rd year and then got a bit of a baytin' for hatching. That count?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,833 ✭✭✭✭dahat


    Played as a front man for my U14 Team years ago n my Dad was always saying i had a poor strike rate so as a bet he said he would give me a pound for every goal i scored,....
    Totally wound up i went and scored 4 in a 6-0 rout,after the 4th i ran over to the line and waved 4 fingers in front of him John Cena style(before John Cena existed!) n ran off thinking i was a future star!! Good times, 4 quid was a fortune back then!

    Centre Half in the Churches League.

    So...not a particularly high level!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,698 ✭✭✭Topper Harley


    I used to play as a striker, now I mostly play full back (left back on the bench all too often).

    But considering during a 90 minute, 11-a-side match, an average player will be in possession of the ball for 90 seconds in total, and me being just an average player, I tend to just run around like a headless chicken for most of the game.
