It seems features on soccer players 'post-Freddy' keep focusing more often on younger and younger players....Of course in this case, the kid's heart condition was a part of the attention received, one would assume.....At the same time, it does bode well for the sport to see articles like this......kids who love the sport and see a future in soccer.....
