Usain Bolt
- Thread starter cesc's_mullet
- Start date
Scored twice in his debut! Haven't seen the goals yet, but hey, good on him.
Amazing, good for him
Both were due to oppo errors
Good for him, don't think the oppo was strong mind you.
As far as I can make out they didn't exist before this match.
Looks like a representative team from the South Australia division of the National Premier League. NPL is the second tier of Aussie football and it's split into 8 different regional divisions. The area was/is trying to be granted a new team in the A-League and this was part of the continued publicity for it.

Aren't these friendlies? A league starts next week.
Stil interested to see how he gets on if he does get a pro deal.

He will get a pro deal due to his huge fanbase, though.
Really happy for him because he's a huge United fan. He's also a pundit here and looked really down when talking about United.
Good finish tbh - his technical abilities will obviously be limited but I wouldn't want to play against him as an A-league defender.
Imagine if Lukaku could score goals like that 
lol
lolI would, he's fecking shite. There is a Championship golden boot winner on Central Coast who CBs will be far more worried about.
Well aren't you Mr Positive
Living his next dream, he worked hard and ran the extra mile (did a lot of trainings with us and other willing clubs, applied here and there, advertised himself, etc) to achieve this next career. Inspiring story.
Don't care about the level of football there. Well done!
So, is he in FIFA 19 yet? Speed stat should be 99.

Speed stat should be 99.can we sign him please? It's got to be a better shout than Ibra. He's tall too.
Only 3 more than Mbappe would be ridiculus. They'd have to increase the pace stat cap to 120 or something and give him that.Living his next dream, he worked hard and ran the extra mile (did a lot of trainings with us and other willing clubs, applied here and there, advertised himself, etc) to achieve this next career.

His pace might not match that of some of the faster footballers over the shorter distance. 40 Yard Dash pace is probably more indicative of soccer speed.
In fairness, he's likely right. I can't claim to have seen much of Bolt, but I have played against professional footballers (some only playing at conference level) and they're miles above even the best amateurs. Whilst Bolt has athleticism and obviously knows his way around a football pitch, I think it's a stretch to think he'll succeed, even at A League level.
I hope he does though, likeable dude.
He is absolute trash. It's laughable people think he can play professionally.
Better first touch than Lukaku tbf.
He's such a meme but I admire his determination to play footy, whatever shitty level it is.
that 3rd goal
To be fair, if I was famous for something else, I'd absolutely try leverage it to play football for someone somewhere.
I don't want to keep trashing Lukaku but Bolt actually shows better movement in the box for crosses.
Play for City and sabotage them from the inside.
That last goal is amazing, what a cock up
Well, there are shit "professional footballers" even in top leagues, not going to name one.
No one thinks Bolt will play good quality football, at a genuine professional football level. He's there for a reason.
He's quicker over any distance.
Still won't cut it any level above amateur, unless he's repeatedly indulged by his club.
You beat me to it. Lukaku would have missed the second goal.Imagine if Lukaku could score goals like that
A strike partnership of Ross McCormack and Usain Bolt. Now I've seen everything.
It's like a duo from a buddy cop film except they're a strike partnership
Pretty good finish that.
Oh come on, we're having fun
The striker we need instead of Lukaku
Imagine if Lukaku could score goals like that
Goes without saying, all these comments are fecking daft. Although I'm probably missing sarcasm in some/most of them. Apologies if so.
Bolt is bang average at football. I'd be amazed if he made a living as a professional at any level, never mind in the PL. He looks like he's having a blast, though. Loving the opportunity. More power to him. I wish all footballers visibly enjoyed playing football as much as he does.
Who cares if he's shit. He's one of the greatest olympians of all time who at 32 is now following his dream of playing professional football, and loving every second. Got nothing but admiration and respect for that
I wasn't joking but the quality of crossing was probably better in that clip than we provide so maybe I was too harsh on Lukaku. But Lukaku does often get into bad positions for crosses too.
Lighten up. It’s fun to see him doing something he loves.
Cracking finish for the first! Fair play to him. People still managing to have a whinge in a thread about Usain fecking Bolt playing a game of football
The posts you quoted were obviously generally in jest, but they do reflect a degree of disappointment in Lukaku and our strikers in general.
Sure. It does get a bit tiresome, though. Constantly shitting on our players. Ditto when people don't realise how good fooballers need to be to get signed by Manchester United. Even if they're going through a bad patch. Stick Lukaku in that A-League team and he'd run fecking riot.
