The English Are Coming! The English Are Coming!!!

by The Chairman

To be the best, you have to play with the best.

No they’re not coming with tricks up their sleeves like last time.  This time they come bearing gifts and it comes in the form of a football camp with none other than Manchester United great, Paul Aaron Scholes.  Scholesey  has teamed up with Midwest Soccer Academy (MSA) to bring the youth of America the “Paul Scholes Soccer Academy,” a two-week day camp for 5th through 12th graders.  For a nominal fee of $449 per week, aspiring U.S. Nationals can learn from one of the best players England has produced.  Let’s hope Scholesey skips the lesson on tackling.  The national team already has a hard enough time fielding a full squad during major tournaments.

    Haha! The tackling comment was too easy! The most impressive thing for me is his total professionalism.A real example for all young players. Keep your mouth shut and let your feet do the talking!

    I wonder who had a stronger kick from 40 yards out, Roberto Carlos, Seedorf or Scholes.
