Sorry if that thread has been here already. I'm too lazy to look up for it. :D

Anyway, what are your qualities as a player. Which you rate.

I'm not really technical player, I can't do much tricks, but I use lot of speed to go past players. Of technical qualities probably my best is passing as I can give pretty many short, precise and quick passes and my long balls aren't really average either. I often add a little curl into the passes.

When I get one on one againist goalkeeper or any player I usually like to shift my legs some time and see which foot has the better position as I've worked a lot with my left foot as I can pass and finish even better with my left foot than my right.

I can basically cover up all the positions from goalkeeper to defender. Though I prefer to be either fullback, holding midfielder or center-back. I like to run and fight a lot and those positions give me a lot of chances to do so. I like sliding tackles and when I'm marking I never really give too much room away and I don't really rush with tackling as I prefer to stop players run and wait for the moment when I feel I have very good chances to win it back.

In my neighbourhood I'm probably the best defensive player eventhough my attacking is rather nice thanks to my pace also.

On mental level I like shouting at others. I'm more of a captain like. I like to keep the game organized. I have quite a good vision and I see a lot of what should be done and where are holes to play in (I often hit the ball foward through opponents leg and then go past him with speed and pick up the ball to continue the run). When attacking I often find out lots of zones where to pass the ball into, but most of the times no-one reacts to my "free run here!" shouts. I always praise players if they do something good and when things don't go bad I say it can happen, no problem. I just like to play. I don't care if I'm put into the much weaker team, I don't care if we're 0-4 behind. I always keep on saying "Let's play!".

I consider myself a great player in our neighbourhood, but we don't train and basically have very few good players. Few years ago few guys from the youth team which is one of the best in Estonia said that I'm a very good player, but I would've probably gone to their trainings if I would've not broken my foot or lived in a place where it's hard to go that teams trainings.

My brightest achievements probably are to hit 6 goals againist a rather great goalkeeper who was like 5 years older than me and once we played the best youth team around here we were great in defence and kept a clean sheet until first half with me in defence. But then our idiot coach told me to go to attack and we conceeded twice in second half from stupid mistakes.

Well, I used to play football very much, but now... Anyway, I almost always played like RB...

I have good tackling, and my long pass is great. my short pass sucks though... I'm great at set pieces. I have a very good shoot accuracy. My shoot isn't so powerfull though, but still, with my accuracy I can score great goals. Technicly, I'm not the worst, but less good from average. And I'm not very fast eighter. That is me as a football player...:D

I used to be a goalkeeper, a good one if I my add, I was seen as the best in my club, and for years was playing as the main keeper for teams of birth years 87 (mine), 86, 85, and 84&83(combined).

I went to Al Ahly, the best club in Egypt but returned after my original club refused to let me go. I was to enter trials, and yes I am NOT kidding, I was to fly to Barcelona to begin trials there in the summer of 2004, but an injury hit me in my shoulder as I was playing with the 85 team.

Injury: I was going for a high arce diagonal cross from the edge of the 18 yard box when my defender and the opposing attacker were jumping with me, I was protecting myself well and grapped the ball in full strech and was completely of the ground with the attacker, the moment came when the attacker raised his legs which was underneath my hip, I felt it but I couldn't do anything about it at all because it happened so fast. Anyways, as a result I was practically rotated upside down and went hands-on-ball face-first to the ground, I was completely 90 degrees to the ground and my arm were in full strech, that led to both my shoulders hit the ground and that led to massive blow to both of my shoulder joints and bones. The doctor told me a weird name for my condition and it needed a minimum of 2 months of therapy and another 1 for physical therapy. The 1st physo theraapist destroyed by shoulder even more using wrong techniques because he couldn't understand my condition very well so I went to a great guy in the second time.
Nowadays my right is 90% curied, but the left is still moving from its place whever I move it in a wrong manner and is just 70% curied, now after 2 years, doctor told me it might be chronic :cry:

Nowadays I am playing 5 side soccer with my friends and I am an attacker mostly, I was given the nickname of Adriano for my powerful left shot, but I also am pround to say that I am not just left legged, I could pass, dribble, play, shoot with both my feet, but the left is more stronger than the right in shooting, but the right is more accurate.

Have played for one club and was considered talented enough to play in a region friendly tournament. I had four or five competitors to the place between the posts, but managed to get the thump up for every match we played. I was very strong one-on-one and verbally. Also had good technique so that I could handle backpasses quite well, due to my past as a outfield player. My background also helped me to develop a good right foot as well. I had problems in the air though.

Now I'm back as a striker and having a good time after the goalie place put so much pressure on me that I didn't want to go on on a high level anymore. I managed to score some goals as well. Around 12-14 I believe in some 20-25 games. But the most important thing is to have fun. Football is about having fun and not about being put under so much pressure that you almost lose the desire to play. Ohh, and staying fit of course :D

I used to play in my for town club, I always played as a goalkeeper, although in the first years was too short and I couldn't get to the bar, I took in a lot goals this way.

However at school tournaments I would play as a Full Back (in teams of 5), technique wasn't perfect, but I managed to put in some good moves, on the other hand my passing skills were very good so I got a lot of assists.
