What made you stop playing football, lads? For me its a reoccurring patellar dislocation

videogames

played from 7-17 and my team and myself were dogshit so the adult team refused to play any of us and i quit the team because of that

Damn, what a shit ending
I fucking hated the first team boomers until we started getting everybody in line and slowly took over

they had to fuse with the neighbouring club because of lack of adult players so fuck these assholes. Gave me a good laugh when i heard about it.

I keep spraining my ankle

realised its more fun to drink beer and watch football than to actually play it yourself

I was so bad, holy fucking shit I was bad.

I played co-ed intramural soccer in 5th grade. There was no such thing as offside so I just stood next to the goal and poached. I once scored 6 goals in a game against the shy goth female goalie in my class. True story.

Is that painful

Tore ACL twice in both the knees. Stopped playing after that.

didn't care about sports back when I played

I was utter shit. You have seen those football webms were pros are being utter shit, well that's me all the time.

same for me
so fucking annoying not even a proper injury
I was very shit anyway

I finished school

first it was the nightlife
then came the computer
then the internet
an endless cycle I woke up
only to find out that after playing 1 year again at my boomer 30s is pointless, everyone around the sport is a bitch and a traitor

ACL tear bro.

Chronic incompetence

Adulthood

Having my ACL torn by my ex's brother

sound like you killed him

/thread

I have always been shit at physical activity, as well as mental ones.
Inferior genes, throughout my whole school life, I was always picked up last for any team sport, and barely passed all the tests, did horrible at athletic tasks.

Nah, even if it weren't an accident I definitely had it coming.

Being fat and shit

some shitty mmo

came here to post this

colon cancer

I had an epiphany when there was a dick in my mouth that maybe playing soccer wasn't for me.

osgood-schaltter's? i went to see a physio and they gave me a gel strap for my knee (right knee = 100% pain, left knee was like 10%). i took somewhere between 2-4 months off (hard due to playing footie every lunchtime, for the school team and also for my club) it disappeared completely. all it took was for me to give my knees rest. by that time the year ended and GCSEs came around so i stopped playing club football

Really really bad turf toe

Well, luckily I dont feel any pain when it comes off or when I have to put it back, it just cuts the blood flow and it slowly becomes numb, but I was playing with a friend once when he dislocated his patella and he couldn't stop crying and complaining about the pain on the way to the hospital

Only answer

I picked up a better sport, basketball.

well not football but many other activities to the drain because of a loose shoulder

never even started
i'm pretty damn good for someone who's never played an actual game of football with a ref and clear rules though

Tore the muscle on the back of my knee and I was shit anyway so I quit

Oh ya dude same thing for me when I fuck some hot chick
I'm still a virgin but I'm 100% sure I can make any girl cum super fast like i do when I masturbate

Achilles tendon rupture

Holy shit that is literally my nightmare
Are you ok user? Can you walk properly?

Yeah I'm fine, but feet doesn't feel the same tho, recovering was a pain in the ass. My leg still thinner that the other one.

america was a mistake

i am a manlet so i'd need insane talent anyway

Unironically drugs

I liked partying more than I liked working out.

Gay coach wanted to suck my dick.

An interest in baseball which was later trumped by hockey.

shitposting probably

Autism. If I had a bit of confidence, you would be talking about me on this board.

I was actually not terrible by American standards, played year round from the age of 4 until 18. I played with the Olympic Development program for a while, and I'm from a fairly competitive soccer region in the US. Quit 2 years ago before college because I didn't want to play in college.

smoking weed

I had an offer to try out for DC United back in 06. I felt I was pretty good but there were a few things holding me back. I was coming off an ankle injury and couldn't play more than 60mins without my ankles swelling. I did not want to live in DC or any area with too many black people which is why I also turned down academic scholarships to a couple of East coast schools from Arizona. The average salary for an MLS shitter back then was barely over 30k. I did not feel like wasting my best years away making peanuts, while having to keep up with training and diet regiments. Most importantly though, I liked playing soccer but I would have never been able to make a career out of it. I hated my coaches and did everything I could to antagonize them because I knew I was undroppable. When some fag suggested they send me to JV for missing training sophomore year I quit the HS team and joined a local team and I enjoyed the traveling a lot but not the people involved. If somehow I would have gone pro, I would have probably would have quit out of boredom halfway through unless I somehow ended up being a world class player which is unlikely.
