who can help me ? I'm a french player , I'm 20. I played in professional team in France, Bordeaux, and Marseille. I did 2 games in national team of France (under 17 years), and 6 goals. I did trials in Chelsea, Leicester, and Glasgow Rangers. I have videos and newspapers to show everything. I search a person serious who can help me to find a team in USA, with remuneration.(money) Contact me: straussgary9@aol.com
yo delpz how can you choose fredal and howard over seaman seaman has been voted as the best goalkeeper england has ever had after gordan banks. Even when brad and tim were in there prime i would choose seaman any day.
Re: I want get contact with somebody who can help me!!! First off best of luck to you. Anyone who wants to play soccer should! Check out the Premier Development League. They are semi-pro but you can make money if you participate in their camps. I have a high school friend who played in the PDL and is now a regular on the Dartmouth University squad. You could definitely break onto a PDL team. Check out what is in your area.
It's funny how the Dutch brag about how good they are. Yes they've had some great individual players but as far as teams go, history speaks for itself. When was the last world cup they've won or better yet when was the last cup they qualified for. How can a federation send a national team to any tourney when they can't even have a little bit of racial harmony. If Cruyff couldn't win a World Cup, what makes you think the current pool can get it done.
OK, first off, Seaman retired last year. Second of all he was a league above friedel when he was in his prime. Thirdly, i am sick and tired of wan*y Europeans comin on here and mockin the yanks. We are all lovers of football and we wouldnt be on here if we werent. There is no disputing that european football is better than in the states so why point out the obvious. That's going to the crystal palace fan who supports a shi*te team if i do say so myself! I think he's a bit sour cos his teams getting relegated and going to lose Johnson in the process.
Re: who can help me ? Wait there, wait there, you played for Bordeux and Marseille and scored 6 goals in 2 games for the french national side (under 17). Well how come you only played 2 games with a strike rate like that and how come youre not playin for Man Utd or somethin. 6 goals in 2 games must make you one of the best international players ever even if for under 17!!!!
Re: who can help me ? He's definetly talking out his ... If that were true (and no offence to the MLS) but you would be wanting to break into a top european side, not an MLS side. If your of internation pedigree why would you want to play in a country so far from your own. You'de never get called up for france.
you know the sports international sport tours that give you a USA jersey and a ticket to two tourney where ever but you have to pay. Not an ODP USANT. This may be going no where, i don't what team it was on but oh well live and let live. Good luck pops whatever you do.
how can you say that? I have nothing but admiration for the soccer system in holland, a country of population 12 million is able to produce such a high quality of players, you hardly expect them to produce endless amouts of quality players, that would be expected of a country like USA, Germany...why is it their teams are not at the level of holand?
Mate, the Dutch are class. The Brazil of Europe (style wise). Phenomenal record for a country of any size, let alone such a small polpulation. I actually think they've been unlucky not win a World Cup. Plus, correct me if I'm wrong, but you did win a European Championship. Greatest goal ever scored by Van Basten. Don't worry about turds on here. No frigging clue. Big heads and even bigger mouths.
Re: I want get contact with somebody who can help me!!! i dont think we would have any problem in kickin ur asses in soccer not only soccer but evry other sport..
i dont think the dutch team is gonna win anything with vannsitelrooy if they couldnt win anything with the dutch master Dennis bergkamp.
New (foreign) players to MLS I am a newbie to this, and I am trying to understand how the soccer acquisition works...pls help ! Let's suppose I have a South American young player, who I would like to bring to play here at the MLS. Pls entertain me and let's suppose we know for sure he is good enough to be of value to a MLS team, and American Soccer in General. What do I do ? Who do I contact to offer him, the league or someone (who) on a team ? Who at the league , or who at team level, an asst. coach ? And if we all agree the player is good, he will sign with the league and not witht the team ? So there are no transfer fees then, he will just get offered a salary/contract and that's it ? Nor there is a transfer fee if he changes teams in the next few years (while in the league) ? But can he still have an agent, and play for the league ? How does the league see this ? Can he play for the league and keep his "pass" ? I aprecciate any help in explaining this.... Thanks !
The league signs the players, but it's the teams that generally negotiate with the players and make decisions on whether or not to sign players. Each team is allowed a fixed salary budget, and as long as the team stays under the salary cap and within other restrictions, the league will sign whatever contract the team agrees with the player.
Thanks. So I should go for the coach, (hopefully) he can evaluate a player (on a combine, or how hard is it to get an "audition", if the player has some credentials ?), Coach can then point player/agent to whoever they are going to discuss a contract with, inside the team ?
You guys care to comment on it ? Summarizing, A theoretical problem (the answer may be the abc of this thread): I have a few South Americans (Europeans, Africans) from second division and/or from player's "farms" looking into making the jump to the USA, pay their dues a bit and be established by the time the USA Soccer general scope reaches larger levels - which we believe it will, and in a relative hurry. Such players would like to assist in improving the depth of skill of the sport here. Of course they have their own interest on it. We have many reasons to believe they will be able to perform at MLS level immediately; and they are fully aware of the discrepancies in salary between here and Europe (their usual route from South America) but are still willing to come and build up with it. I have seen this happen in other sports, and it has been great for the national competitors (influx of foreign - or any, for that matter - talent, will elevate the whole pool up). So he gets a try-out, either collective/combine or a special "interview" (how ? Is this possible) and (upon showing his good skills/attitude/etc) is offered a contract by the team, which the player will sign with the league. This will be for a salary, bonus, and that's it ? One of the doubts is the transfer $$, what is the procedure if a MLS team transfers a player to another MLS team ? Is there a transfer fee involved, as in Europe or South America, and who gets it ? What if the player is then "sold" or transferred to, for example, an European Club ? Other thoughts ? Any comments/takers ? Thanks !
