Sort of. Everybody has given me the "do you play basketball" crap ever since I was a teenager (to which I would often reply, "Do you play miniature golf?" to shut them up).
It's great to have the height advantage for headers of course. And defensively, it comes in handy for tackling and deflections. I'm not sure how Jan Koller does it, but I could see it helping as a poaching striker (a la Trez). But it absolutely sucks in midfield. Major disadvantage.
I played defense pretty well against the crew on Wednesday. But I did score a goal at least, albeit on a quick one-hopper under the goalie after receiving the deflection on my corner kick.

I wish!
Nah. That was just a colloquialism for the pickup game I played against a bunch of homies from the heart of the Mission District. Fortunately I watch enough Univision and Telemundo futbol where I was able to communicate well with the team.
For a moment during that game, I kind of felt a little like a good friend of mine who grew up in the Mission. Although he's a native of Greece (he moved to the U.S. when he was 2), everyone in class gave him the nickname "GE" because his pale skin stood out among the student body like a 100-watt lightbulb.
