I played English football - soccer - instead of American football, because we couldn't afford the equipment.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I grew up in Europe, and soccer was the first organized game I played. When we moved back to the U.S. in the middle of 4th grade, I switched to American football and stopped playing competitively until college, when I played intramurals.
I played soccer, recreationally, in college.
Soccer and cricket were my main sports growing up. I had trials as a soccer player with a few clubs interested, Crystal Palace being one, but it was cricket which became my chosen profession.
I played football all my life throughout high school and ran track.
I didn't play soccer; I played that other football in grade school through college.
Where I come from, all of us wanted to be footballers. We played all the time; that's all we did at school or wherever until it went dark and you couldn't see the ball.
Football was what I was good at, and it was what I loved.
I grew up playing soccer and always loved playing it.
I've been playing American football since I was six years old. I was a captain of my high school team, playing strong safety.
I played football, honestly, to get a scholarship.
