Message: [QUOTE="HastingsCuse, post: 3940005, member: 301"] Great questions! [U]Do/Did you play and/or coach?[/U] I played in HS starting in 1973 (I was on New Hartford HS's first team) and played in summer leagues during college, in pick-up games in Africa (80-83) and in a Sunday morning indoor league in Camillus (1983-86) (last one was very physical - I was bloody and bruised every week) I coached my 3 kids and others in youth leagues, U-4 to U-19 (1996-2020) I also reffed youth leagues starting in 1999 - I'm think of starting again this Fall) [U]When did you first start following soccer?[/U] Not sure - I followed the Cosmos to some degree in the late 70s and I remember Maradona in WC in 1986. (My wife's family are Brooklyn Italian from Naples so Maradona was always a topic in the late 80s.) [U]When did you first start following USMNT/USWNT?[/U] USMNT- 1990 (I was very happy when the USA only lost1-0 to Italy) USWNT - 1995 WC or 1996 Olympics [U]When did you first watch a World Cup game?[/U] 1986 (Maybe earlier if Pele and Brazil were on Wide World of Sports in the 1970s??) [U]When did you first watch a Euro/Copa America game?[/U] no idea [U]When did you start watching European club matches? Which league(s)?[/U] A cursory following of Napoli in late 80s. In the late 1990s I started following all Americans in the Premier League, like Keller and Friedel at first.) [U]When did you first start watching Champions Cup/Champions League?[/U] maybe 5-6 years ago [U]When did you become a fan of your current club team?[/U] My oldest son has been Liverpool fanatic for 10+ years since he was in college. he lives in seattle but he wishes he was a scouser. (He went to Annfield for a game against Arsenal for a game 3-4 years old with a friend who's family has had Liverpool season tickets for generations. 'one of the best experiences of his life" ) He got me hooked about 5 years ago. Now I don't miss many games. Go Reds! My yougest son played CYO basketball for several years and Gio Reyna played for their biggest rival through 7th grade so now I try to catch Dortmund games too. [/QUOTE]
