Hey guys,

I live, eat, drink and sleep football - but I'm awful at it.

On Friday I am supposed to be playing 5-a-side with a few mates from school, I used to kick around a bit in college but I was awful.

I don't particularly want to make myself look like a ***, so have any of you got any ideas on how I can improve my game?

I used to be a decentish goalkeeper for my secondary school, but I used to be compared to Enckelman because I couldn't pass.

So if any of you can give some tips, I would love you long time.

I know how to kick a ball, but it's as if I got two left feet.

Just keep it simple and play short passes. If you don't try anything elaborate then you minimize the chances of looking like a tard.

Yeah, I'm gonna Matt le Tissier it methinks.

The only way to improve is to keep practising.

Of course there are different roles in footy. If you've got a beast of a tackle or can score for fun you don't need to be a brilliant passer.

Too bad I can't do either of those.

Aah well, I'll just go out and enjoy myself.

If its just a kickabout with mates from school then why are you worrying?

Just go and have a laugh.

If you were in goals against Man City then maybe you could have something to worry over. Maybe you'd even save a Da Silva pen.

Aah, it's just I'm absolutely awful and I tend to embarrass myself with a few open goal misses.
