Signing a 7 year old

[Not Me]

Makes the NCAA issues look like child's play (pun intended)

The Real Madrid soccer club signed a 7 year old. Soccer has a history of signing young kids, even here in america. But this is absurd

the difference is that in FIFA there is no rule against anything like this. i am sure that some coaches have offered in different ways a scholarship to younger players that attend their camps.

It won't be long before they are signing unborn children of two top athletes. Talk about robbing the cradle. And yes, they do it in other forms on entertainment, and look how that generally turns out.
