Garrett's Blog

Greetings, I am 15-year-old Garrett Zhou, a Durham Academy High School student. I enjoy studying, exercising, playing soccer, and maintaining discipline in general. My history with soccer is fairly straightforward: I began playing when I was 7 years old, and at the age of 12, I was chosen for the ECNL regional Carolinas team as the top player in the state. I was selected to travel with 20 players from my club, NCFC, to play against NY Red Bulls Academy, PDA Academy, and NYFC Academy that summer. I'm currently with the second-ranked NCFC 09 ECNL club. Here, I make my predictions for the major trophies coming up in the soccer season.

Firstly, if you don't know, here is some quick information about the NBA Finals. The NBA Finals are played every year by the winner of the Eastern Conference of the NBA playoffs and the winner of the Western Conference of the NBA playoffs. I won't dive too deep into that, but I will link some great a...

I have previously done a post on the 2024 EUROs coming up this summer, but I still remember about the Copa America! Hosted in the United States this year, the 48th edition of the tournament is the oldest in the world. The countries currently in the Copa America will be Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia (who are on a 21-match unbeaten streak as of this post), Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela, Jamaica, Mexico, Panama...

There are 24 ...
