    There's actually a thing they tell you about how kids born in certain times of the year get the benefit of going smoothly through the age groups (U11, 12 etc) and it helps in their development compared to the others. Just searched up cancers and it's January, pretty sure that was the month they said

    It's a mouthful, always thought that. It makes anybody sound like Will from the Inbetweeners. Soccers cleaner, as is NFL, ARL, GAA etc. for the other sports. Footy's a good name though.

    OP you may have a point because all those guys were exceeding expectations at a young age and most of them played higher up than their age group.

    Bellingham, Messi and Maldini especially. (And this new Brazilian prodigy Endrick)

    Van Dijk is the only late bloomer on that list.

    So all the Cancers that aren't good at football are pretty much failures at life and wasted their natural birth right

    I’m a Cancer.

    Cancer’s are “feelers” footballs a “feely” sport there’s a great flow and emotion to it. But we’re tough “the outer crab shell” so we can handle the physicality of the sport.

    Cancer’s a watery emotional sign that’s my theory.

    The second most prominent sign amongst footballs greats was Scorpio another water sign

    Just my theory
