Michael Ertel, Ph.D.

@MarkOgden_ Calling a potential quadruple “bad for football” is a wild take. Funny how dominant teams in the past were praised as great, but Arsenal gets labeled boring. Success shouldn’t suddenly become a problem because it doesn’t fit a preferred narrative.

Arsenal are taking the joy out of football and that’s why Max Dowman’s goal was such a welcome surprise espn.com/soccer/story/_…

@CalltoActivism “I heard there’s rumors on the ‘internets’ that we’re going to have a draft. We’re not going to have a draft. Period”

🚨WTF: Karoline Leavitt refuses to rule out INITIATING A DRAFT to send Americans to fight in Iran! “It’s not part of the current plan right now… but the president… wisely keeps his options on the table.” Translation: they won’t even promise your kids aren’t next.

What a great crew! #USC

@MostlyBullNY This aged well #RBNY

Choupo on the bench. What a brutal decision #RBNY

The best in the business @Ali_Brian_PhD

@southward96 Another town hall?

Shout-out to Mark Fishkin from Seeing Red for pointing out New York Red Bulls Front Office's lack of transparency when addressing fans'concerns pertaining to the current state of the team. #RBNY #TimoWerner #MLS

@MostlyBullNY We have a strong chance of making the playoffs. The style of play is inconsistent with the signings. When Jesse was here you knew what you were going to get

@MikeErtel10 There’s no disputing the difference in quality, which is a larger issue and has been since the last Supporters Shield. Sandro’s decision making has been suspect for a while now and it has them on the verge of missing the playoffs for the first time since 2009

Absolute beat down, only in a playoff spot by 1 point as things stand and Chicago has a game in hand A serious team would be firing Schwarz tomorrow, but the New York Red Bulls are a completely unserious organization #RBNY

@MostlyBullNY Sandro got the structure and tactics completely wrong today. I'll spare you the details. That ties in with player selection. However, there was a massive difference in quality today on the pitch.

@MikeErtel10 In the wrong place if you want unemotional tweets. Read the bio. How do you fix something the team doesn’t even believe to be a problem? The problems are likely bigger than a couple of signings will fix. No one that makes decisions here is held accountable

I’m proud to share that I have successfully defended my dissertation, officially becoming Dr. Mike Ertel! I’m incredibly grateful to everyone, past and present, who helped fuel this journey. A special thank you to @Ali_Brian_PhD and the entire team at @UofSC @UofSCEducation for your unwavering support and mentorship. I’m also thrilled to announce that I’ve accepted a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Physical Education Teacher Education in the Department of Kinesiology at @CSULB Here’s to the next chapter in teaching, research, and service!

@Rileigh_Druell @TannerOsborne27 @tikitakaklu @imwomenssoccer @Smedley033 @SCUnited_FC Keep up the great work! 💪🏼

Day 16 post LCL Surgery. Not where I planned to be this summer - God has bigger plans that I cannot see right now. Thanks to great coach's teammates and friends. Rehab is going great! @MikeErtel10 @TannerOsborne27 @tikitakaklu @imwomenssoccer @Smedley033 @SCUnited_FC ⚽️🩵

@paulspacey Excellent rondo! I've seen this in action before 👀@tikitakaklu

6v6 Hexagon rondo. Complete 8 passes to win. “But what if they just stand close together and make 8 quick passes, coach?” Your job is to recognize it and stop them. Competition emerges very quickly.

@ProfeMapu Get ready for another year of terrorist football

@MikeErtel10 for sure, but you do that with good players.

I think the talk about the high press was exaggerated, planted. A big of what made RBNY great between 2015 and 2018 was having good footballers. Grella, Sacha, Sam, Murillo, Long, BWP, Kaku, Dax, Felipe, all very good with the ball.
