Hi,
How about going to a university-College ?
Many MSL teams recruit from the universities in the U.S.
Many players must migrate to get noticed.
So, what if you dont get noticed by Chelsea or Manchester United when youre 21? being 21 is not old, regardless of what the recent surge of teen-superstars (most of is just hype) "oh, come see this YOUNG kid, He's great - I'tll cost you high priced tickets though.."
Dont give up if this is what you really want. Becoming an athlete is hard work and dedication. No one has a magical key that opens doors, only you have the right key to make you happy no matter what others say.
Youre 21 ? I am 35 and I WISH I was 21 all over again.
I know is not possible, so I do what I can to be happy !
Good luck on your path to stardom my friend.

Well I am an american that loves true football (soccer) and I think that your age is going to work against you because the average age of a starter is around 18-20 yrs old. The only way that you could become a professional is if you are already playing at a Junior National level. With that said I think that you should put your time, finances, and energy into something more attainable. Good Luck and Here's my email if you make it or want to talk some more Floyd_Lotman2003@yahoo.com

NO....you can be what you put your mind to. I'm in America and the Americans hire young people from other countries all the time for sports. I remember not to long ago the DC soccer team recruited this 17 year old from Ghana and payed him millions, but now he is playing for some other team. And being from London has nothing to do with it. You have to think outside the box, and do what is in your heart. Not just with soccer, but throughout your whole life. Don't let people tell you you can or can't do things. DO WHAT YOU LOVE @ ANY AGE

I think that after playing soccer for 10 years you can easily become a professional player. Don´t care about your age, you´re still young and if it is your passion you should just go for it. Try to be part of any soccer club and good luck!!!

You can't be ordinary to be a professional...you have to be amazing. As for your age, if you were good enough I bet you being 21 wouldn't get in the way. Good luck!

Come to America... or follow in the footsteps of Jay DeMerit!
Fontkinetics is a moron,,, He is talking about Freddy Adu, who's family came from Ghana but he grew up in the States - Freddy is paid only about $500,000 a year and DC traded him to Real Salt Lake this year

If your good enough no- your most likely to make it in somewhere where soccer is rising in popularity and not very big at the moment, such as in the U.S or somewhere like Canada.

It's never too late, but it's hard to learn now. It is always easier when you're young :)
