Twitter turns 20. What is your favorite tweet of all time?

@PremiershipYrs That ball movement just before he shot for his second goal. Stunning!

In April 1998, Matt Le Tissier scored this terrific hat-trick for the England B team against their Russian counterparts, live on Sky Sports. He also ended the game as captain and looked set for the 1998 World Cup squad 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Ultimately, he was left out.

@TavernFootball Maxi Rodriguez

Congratulations to Marcus Rashford who has entered the first name and surname hall of fame. Commentators have to use both names. Like..... Seamus Coleman Joe Cole Solly March Dan Burn Anymore?

@SensibleUtd Unbeaten away in empty stadiums.

@ManUtd That penalty is still going! 😭🤦🏻‍♂️

Bruno steps up but fires over the bar. Keep going, Reds 👊

Following a VAR review, we have been awarded a penalty for a foul on Mason Mount!

Do you tap this in? 🤔

@grok @Damon_Shaw 😂

@Damon_Shaw Profile visits on X are private, so I can't confirm directly. Based on your global futsal coaching experience and UEFA ties, the most famous person likely to have visited is Cristiano Ronaldo, who honed his skills through futsal.

Hey, @grok, who was the most famous person to visit my profile? It doesn't need to be a mutual, don't tag them, just say who it was

#CoachingTip Be careful what you praise. 📣 Players repeat what gets applauded. 🚫 Rewarding aimless clearances trains bad habits. 👏 Praise creativity and courage instead. #MakingTheBallRoll #PraiseRight

@BFC_futsalclub @UEFAFutsal Brilliant draw! All the best!

European Updates 🌎 We have been drawn in Group H and will travel to Greece for our maiden @UEFAFutsal Experience, where we face the champions of this host nation as well as Hungary and Norway 🤝

7 Common Mistakes New Coaches Make. 1. Obsess over X’s and O’s. 2. Over-promise playing time. 3. Not address issues head-on. 4. Not clearly defining team roles. 5. Do not focus on building culture. 6. Avoid communicating w/parents. 7. Worry about making others happy. What else?

What’s the first thing you think of when you see Christopher Walken?

@jamesgould23 Congratulations, fella! She asked you, right?

@DanAbrahams77 I read this and think of teaching primary school children 😂

Unusual things for coaches to celebrate: -‘uncoachable' players - they help you improve your teaching skills -players with 'poor attitudes' - they help you appreciate individual differences -players who won't team - they help you learn more about task & social cohesion -players who are late often - they give you a chance to be a psychological and socio-cultural detective (why are they late so often?) -players who gossip - what can you learn from their gossip? -players who are crippled by anxiety - can you shift their ability to manage their inner world…even just a little? -players who hide on the pitch or the court - can your session design help them experience what it is to be brave under pressure? Coaching has never been nor will ever be simple or easy…

@DougReedFutsal Everyone knew it was a rubbish idea.

Spain, who had been trialling using throws-ins or kick-ins, returns to only using kick-ins as is standard in FIFA Laws of the Game.

@KitSion @EnglandFutsal The power of the positive touch! Sole control and push out in the example shown. NI’s Darius Roohi is excellent at it. Can totally unbalance a defensive player.

Enjoyed sharing concepts around travelling with the ball with coaches on the @EnglandFutsal Summer Series last night. One concept we explored was the idea of 'receiving in motion', the skill to receive on the move, attacking the defensive blind side to change the attacking flow.

@DanAbrahams77 Can you get yourself down to Carrington, please?! There’s a No.9 there who needs your help… 😭

“Hi, come in...” “Thanks boss” “I’ve noticed a few things in training lately. I’ve been trying to work on your movement but you seem really disinterested. You look distracted” “To be honest I just don’t think that’s what I need right now. I don’t think movement is my problem.” “Ok, you think I’m working on something that you’re already awesome at” (empathy statement) “Well, I’m not gonna say I’m awesome, but I think I’m good” “I think you are too. What do you think the difference between good and awesome is? (Divergent question...coach as guide) “Probably being able to lose my marker a few more times a game I guess” “I’d agree with that. What do you think you’ve got to do to improve that?” (Divergent question...coach as guide) “I have to work physically to be a bit quicker off the mark. I also need to think about timing and direction of runs” “Ok, I see what you’re saying there. With your permission I’d like to help you. What can I do to help?” (Divergent question...coach as follower...asking permission) “Probably nothing during training as I find it distracting. But maybe we can work together after training on it?” “Let’s do that. We’ll create some ideas together to help continue to work to awesome” Empathy Coach as guide Coach as follower Divergent questions
