Mikey Balsiger is an American inner midfielder/central defender currently playing for American team LOAF'S LOAFS. Mikey was born in Santa Cruz, California, to two parents who owned a surfing shop. Mikey started playing beach soccer at the age of 3, and even today in the offseasons continues to represent Team USA national team on the beach soccer circuit. He has 32 NT caps. Eventually, however, at the middle school level, he decided to take up soccer, becoming an international sensation after a youtube video of him went viral where he scored a hattrick while playing goalie, and then received a red card all in the same match.
He is currently 22 years old, with a birthday on the 23rd of December.

Transfer History
He has been loyal to the LOAF his entire career.
LOAF'S LOAFS
Balsiger was an integral part of what fans of LOAF'S LOAFS' "The Yeast Army" call
The Golden Ages of their team's history, as money was flowing and the arrival of hot shot young players seemed to never end. Alvisi was the final player to arrive, yet the only one still on the team seasons later, as he was purchased for a whopping $1.4 million as an 18 year old. Guido has been a staple in the LL midfield, with 70 caps as of 27/8/2012.
