@SOTUWithAlexi The people who criticized Matt Crocker for giving Greg Berhalter a second chance are strangely silent. Crocker has more than done his job with the appointment of Emma Hayes. Pochettino is the icing on the cake! Great job, Matt!

With Mauricio Pochettino expected to be named head coach of the USMNT, what grade do you give US Soccer for the selection? 🇺🇸🤔

@AlexiLalas Well done Matt Crocker for a great hire!

Love Emma Hayes, but she isn’t a magician. She’s smart, clear, & confident. Did what needed to be done. Got rid of players not good enough, brought in better players, & made existing players better. Also benefitted from good timing (Swanson return, WC failure, Olympic opponents.)

@JustinRuderman_ Well done Matt Crocker for an exceptionally good coaching hire!

Thank goodness Emma Hayes is the USWNT head coach rather than the trolls on twitter Korbin Albert was the best American player on the pitch and played the game-winning assist in an Olympic final. Haters silent now.

Thank you @BAA for an amazing @bostonmarathon ! It was a special day and I feel blessed to have had family there. Big thank you to the absolutely amazing volunteers too!! #9marathons

Former KC Legends player Ava Brown with a wonderful first-time finish. This is what happens when young players train in an environment designed to give every player at least 10X the repetition they can get elsewhere. Huge respect Ava! 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️ x.com/AvaBrown84/sta…

@TheSecretScout_ Strong to capture possession. Nice Cruyff Turn to create space. L Turn (Beckenbauer) to suck the defender in. Maradona Turn beats the defender. The final pass was slightly in front of his teammate. Had it been a few inches closer could've been the best assist of the season.

Madueke with lovely feet. I wanna see this against top RB’s twitter.com/Nonzi0/status/…

¡Bicicleta, recorte y golazo con poco ángulo para la 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒂 de La U! 👊😎 ¡Qué calidad, @NancyAntonio14! 😮‍💨🔥

@Don_K_Williams @dortonofficial Should we ask whether a child will rise to a higher level in one sport if they spend all their spare time on one, or half their time on two? Logic suggests the former. Doesn’t following a two sport versus a single sport path lower the altitude reached in either?

Sure, if a person sits down with their bassoon 8 hrs a day from the day they can pick it up to adulthood, you’ll probably have a better than average bassoonist But you’re taking all the children who play ⚽️ in the world and you’re comparing them to the most talented ballers to ever play the game and it sounds like, you’re expecting the same outcomes if they would just specialize as early as possible Those of us that have dedicated our lives to teaching sports to kid, know that 99.997 of the time they won’t be pros, and now they’ve lost most of their childhood & most burnout So no, I don’t think it’s a fair comparison

Oh my... this infuriates me. All the research shows that young, multi sport kids who also take large breaks end up being the most well adjusted and best players in the long run. The law of diminishing returns is real.

x.com/AvaBrown84/sta… Excellent highlights of Legends alumnus Ava Brown this weekend. Of note is that her teammate seen scoring from Ava's passes is another KC Legends alumnus Jacy Hackler. Keep using those Legends dribbling, penetrating passing, and scoring skills! Great job!

@Don_K_Williams @dortonofficial Is this a fair statement? "The more one specializes in a discipline, the greater the odds of success." Simply put there have been very few great dual-sport athletes.

@Don_K_Williams @dortonofficial After a lifetime of research, I can't find any mention of the following truly great players engaging in anything but soccer: Matthews Garrincha Best Charlton Pele Cruyff Maradona Beckham Gascoigne Rooney Zidane Ronaldinho Ronaldo Rivaldo Iniesta Xavi CR7 Messi
