Dude. High School? Please.

You said on an amatuer level... obviously you intend to act like a jerk even if I answer your statement directly.

No, my mistake. See in Poland when we say amateur, it means something between professional and your "amatuer". You say you played for your school. So did I for about 7 years. So yes, my mistake about being unclear. But I hold my ground when saying that playing in a school team, and going to state finals with it,  doesn't mean much. You don't learn much technique, not too much tactics. European teenagers(age 9-18)  that plan to become football players in the future go to football acadamies that are usually built next to first league teams. There through extensive trainings are they slowly brought up to be the players you see on the field. Still only a tiny margin of those kids ever become pros. Out of thousands in europe maybe 15 will actually be taken into teams.I had a friend that went to such an acadamy. Trust me, I know what i'm talking about that neither you, nor I for that matter, truly know what it takes to be a good player.
