You're still dealing with foot injuries :( thats upsetting bro, im sorry to hear it.
That sounds so dank. I am completely and utterly envious of the popularity and resources Europeans have to playing football. Trying to find sponsors here is damn near impossible. Getting a facility is even harder bc the USSA only focuses on youth production, so any facilities I used growing up become unavailable for the still actively playing adults, we can only play if we pay ~$300/use. Dont even get me started on the US and the inability to convey a proper use of the promotion/relegation system. They say that it wont work, but in reality its the MLS owners protecting their investments, instead of actually bringing in competitive play and a means of a system that makes sense.
Always hard to keep the talent in a lower division when they have the ability to go play more competitively.
Next home game isnt until july 16th. Have a lot of away games coming up, but come to that one, you can see us lose to the US open team lol. Theyre completely sponsored by Yards brewing company and Pipers Pub, so they attract the best talent. They have taken like 4-5 of our first team players in the past 3 years. Some frustrating stuff.
one of my teammates studied in the us for a year and told us the exact same thing, he didnt get to play there at all except for fun with some fellow students
for comparison, i am paying 13 bucks a month membership fee btw
our system is completely different since here the cities/towns provide major parts of upkeep etc
i should point out though, that my club got incredibly lucky with the conditions that we have
investors bought our old facility (which was in a ridiculous state) for some serious money and quite some of it was reinvested
other clubs suffer a lot from missing funds (thats perhaps the downside, when politics has no interest you are fucked), private sponsoring has become difficult nowadays
my childhood club for example is begging for years to get ~300k€ for a turf pitch, which would actually save even more money in the future, but the city rather spends millions elsewhere......so its not all good here too ^^
i think its only a matter of time until you will follow our system with promotion/relegation to be competitive, give it some time until the base is large enough

Always will I'm afraid, few years ago I slid tackle and my upper foot hit the post, tearing most of the muscles there and since then I have one injury after the other.
If I really wanted to I could work on it in the gym and be stronger but lacking motivation and no free time
thats a weird injury if i ever heard one
