Balnogowan,
Just so you know, I was born in England and played there until I was 10. I played organized soccer from the age of 5, playing in numerous 5 and 6 aside tournaments from the ages of 5-8 before growing to 11 a side when I was at Under 9 and Under 10. The professional teams there begin having academy sides at Under 11, but begin watching the competitions and players at the age of 8 or so. Thanks for your input, but I mean, you're talking to someone who actually lived this in England and played organized soccer from 5 onwards which was definitely not frowned upon. So no, I didn't buy all the propaganda crap that this country produces because I didn't even live in this country, much less hear anything from it concerning soccer.
