Wait Until The Pregnant League Starts

Well, Kewell was a pretty big deal until he got hurt all the time and then decided he wouldn't play even when he was hurt. And Bosnich was the keeper for Man U briefly before he descended into cocaine hell. There are Brazilian kids who are getting scouted at 9 and one of the up-and-coming Argentinians was first signed to a club at the age of 12. Unfortunately, the younger you go, the more of a crapshoot it is, as you can never really tell whether their skills and bodies will continue to advance at the same rate. Soccer is littered with former prodigies.

What's weird is that this kid is an Aussie. When was the last time there was a massive soccer stud from Australia? And no, Mark Viduka does not count.

What bothers me most about this kind of news is the wider implications it has. You know somewhere there is a father or mother shoving a tennis racket into their three month old child's hands, hoping to turn them into the next "prodigy".

This reminds me of an old Mr. Show sketch about fetus beauty pageants.
