Even if he goes abroad, and gets into an academy at say Chelsea, or Arsenal or man city, the kid's chances of making it are very very low.

Less than one percent of all academy graduates in the UK alone make it to the big time. Less than one percent.

And before you say na foreigners...i was watching one documentary on youtube from 1974 that followed five promising boys at the Liverpool AFC academy. Back then the English league was 95% white English. Foreign players were either from Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, with very very few from the commonwealth. I watched the documentary to see if I recognised any names there. No , all the boys never played for Liverpool at senior level, only one managed to get professional terms at another club, not a top club.

OP should make sure his son faces his work and gets a degree and use football as a hobby.

Come on man, if sports is the little boy's dream let him chase it.

it depends on oil prices. If global oil price rises the US companies increase production to high levels and make good money. However, if oil prices drops, they do not find it lucrative to drill excessively, hence they just import.

Thanks for enlightening. I appreciate

US is a major oil exporter and is still a major oil importer too. That I don't get.
