Sebastian Velaquez had to give up a full scholarship to Clemson because he simply tried out with Barcelona- he didn't cry about it, he worked out on his own and got drafted in the first round of MLS. He is one kid who was never handed anything-he worked hard on his own and didn't need some so called journalist have to fight his fight. Follow the rules and you can compete

The fact that these kids can't afford or are scared to hire a lawyer it doesn't mean they deserved to be stepped on by all these nonsense rules... The only rule they broke was to work harder than everybody else to actually take the attention of the best clubs in the world. Lets punish the most talented kids for chasing their dreams and lets reward mediocre kids bc they are rich... Things like these make me sick in the stomach then you wonder why we get embarrassed every 4 years in a global stage... he wasn't even allowed to play club soccer? What a joke... what a big joke.

You would be surprised of the number of young athletes that know that you forfeit your amateur status by accepting $. If docdocumentation does exist proving this, done deal. Half of our high school team is Hispanic and we could not exist as a team without them, all great kids who I feel certain know this.

We are mediocre at soccer and we get embarrassed every 4 years because our elite soccer players are being restricted with all these dumb rules. There are no proof the kid got paid. I havent hear any legit reason why these D-bags didn't clear his elibility. Plenty of rich kids going to England to train with EPL Academies and then coming back to play high school soccer. I just can't wait for our second and third division to play all year round so our elite soccer talent doesn't have to deal with all these dumb high school and ncaa rules, pathetic. The high school "league" will be so happy this summer when we finish another world cup 0-3 even when half of our team is German because most of our domestic players are mediocre at a world stage.

Obvioulsy you are the only one in an uproar about this because if the kid really wanted to play and there was a way he could then you would think he would be trying to appeal or the school would be doing something. Also if he is that talented, then him missing a year of playing highschool or club probably won't hurt him in the long run. Like lvrpul said in his post about Sebastian.

Do you have a website of the High School "league?" I want to see if I can get a copy of official decision. Even if they have "legit" evidences to punish him, some of these dumb rules have to change for the good of our sport. Club of the century.

Who cares? I've never heard of the kid. Where does he play club? ODP? By the way, the United States (I guess you are a citizen) is ranked #14 by FIFA: that is hardly "mediocre".
