Wow....

I've been a strong advocate for building the skills of youth players, while protecting them form the harsh lime light of the football media. I'm hoping at some point there will be a Canadian kid who has the skills that will light up the world and propel the national team to the World Cup. Until then we have to satisfy ourselves with young talent over seas.

Like this kid! His name is Noah Shawn and he's a youth player at Bayern Munich's academy in Germany. As the video shows he has amazing skill and control of the ball. The absolutely scary thing is....he's just 7. I'm a person who has to give credit where credit is due because he's simply amazing for his age. What I hope not to do or to happen is that this kid gets his head turned by the scum of the football world, and let's face it those kind of people are out there in the game trying to make a quick buck.

All I ask is that you take the video for what it is, a gifted boy doing his thing.



Cheers,

Early contender for goal of the year in Europe

It's still early in the new European season but as Champions league proper has now started up we already have as goal of the year nominee. Thomas Muller of Bayern Munich scores a absolute beauty of a left foot volley with the outside of his boot against AS Roma on Wednesday night. I've added the video below, I don't know how long it'll be up but enjoy it while you can!



This kid is only 20 and is going to be a superstar for Bayern and for Germany for years to come if he can avoid major injury! He had an amazing World Cup and the sky is the limit for this kid, remember the name Thomas Muller.

Cheers,
