Excitement at the start of the season......a little bit of bittersweetness at my son finishing his club soccer career...wondering how they'll look.....wondering how other teams whose kids I've known for a long time will do and look.

On a non personal note.....wondering about rivalries and opinions....competition.....that razors edge difference between knowing my team is good and wondering of another is maybe a hair better? Don't see a lot of that on this forum anymore. Cant say I have since onset of Academy.

Maybe forumites have just gotten old and their kids aging out like mine.
