Stephen Hart

Happy birthday Roberto Baggio. An exquisite footballer.

@RioMeets @rioferdy5 @joelbeya In 2019 he Cup was held in Egypt, 21 June – 19 July. So it's been done before.

Leagues should break for AFCON, simple as that! Would stop the quality being diluted without African players CC: @rioferdy5, @joelbeya, #AFCON2025

@thesefootytimes Beck's delivery is superb and few players know how to time their arrival into the penalty area, like Dwight..

Every David Beckham assist for Dwight Yorke ✨

Football can be cruel. Heart break for the U17's, in a shoot out, once again! Great job overall, they should be applauded 👏🏼👏🏼

Back to back, solid performances from Canada u17 boys. Good work by all, keep pushing.👏🏼

Outstanding performance from Bridget Mutipula today for Canada u17.

Effort recognized. Congrats Andre.

@SimonFudge74 Indeed!

@WatchfulEye64 Measured pass by Laryea as well…

The Gold Cup is going to be hard pressed to see a better goal than Tani Oluwaseyi's. Degree of difficulty, the surprise, simply a spectacular Finish 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@Jacquecoobo No imagination necessary, this is the reality😊

@WatchfulEye64 Imagine having a team with national all time leading goal scorers like JoDavid and Larin while, also having young up and comers like Tani, Promise and Jebbison. 😎🇨🇦⚽

@lildrew_8 That's when they could play🫣😄

35 five years later still watching this game 🥹🥹 ... Kunde philosophy as a defender that inspired me : "As the last defender in my team I can not let players pass me" !!!! 🕊️🕊️

@oscarvieira_aus @BillyMeredithMU He had a better season than Shevchenko that year.

@BillyMeredithMU Love Yorke got to know him when he moved to Australia but he wasn’t anywhere near the best player. The EPL was something overated in the 90s in the English media, Serie A and la liga had much better players.

@ObscurePlyrBias Not many will argue with this. Know your team mates, is an old saying in the game. The vision to recognize the movement & technical ability to execute Messi stretched run vs Nigeria 2018 WC. Messi knew Benega could execute.

“In most scenarios, it isn’t the player on the ball who decides where the ball goes, but players without the ball. Their running actions determine the next pass.” - Johan Cruyff The majority of talk about creativity is focused on the player on the ball - vision and execution.

@philiphartley57 @FootyHumour An Africa Nation has won a World Cup. They were called France😅

@FootyHumour bro needs to chill. Carragher is making some valid points about AFCON. African team has never won the World Cup, let alone reaches a final…ever.

“He can fu*k off!” 😂😭😂

"Yes, it's true that you improve by playing with better players, but not because of the game itself. It's the training that makes the difference. Every day, when you're training with top players, it forces you to be at your best—training with focus and intensity. If you don’t bring that, you won’t last long. The games should feel easier when you're in a winning environment." - Robin van Persie

@directkicksTV Stand up and applaud 👏🏼👏🏼 what a finish!

@WatchfulEye64 What a finish on that last goal eh Stephen?

Massive result for Cavalry last night. Especially, when you consider Cavalry have been out of season since November. Congratulations all around. Bravo👏🏼👏🏼

@CoachesLyceum @PedMenCoach Goalkeepers don't dive up

🎯⚽What may seem like unbelievable misses from top footballers is actually a challenge to refine their penalty accuracy under pressure. The difference between success and failure is often just a matter of mental composure and fine margins. 🧠Best coaches learn every day: patreon.com/c/PedMenCoach 🖌️Telestration with @Tactic_EN by @PedMenCoach

@waynegoldcoach So so true! 👏🏼👏🏼

Here's my favorite LTAD / #Pathway story.... Tennis Australia was doing a detailed, national, sport review to try and figure out why their participation levels were falling. They commissioned one of the big management groups to do the review - and it was exhaustive, detailed and took the best part of a year. I was asked to contribute as an industry "expert". I met two of the researchers towards the end of their review process - and they were NOT sports industry professionals - just very experienced, independent researchers - and I asked them "What do you think the problem is?" One of them said, "The PATHWAY model". I asked why he said that. He replied - and this is GOLD for ALL sports: "We think the Pathway model is killing the sport because when we do interviews, focus groups and surveys, it's clear that players, coaches, parents and everyone else all believe that as soon as they pick up a racket, every kid is on the pathway to being Roger Federer". He continued. "It just doesn't make sense. It's like making every kindergarten child hold a crayon in a very specific way and making them draw straight lines so that WHEN they become a brain surgeon they've developed the right skills to hold a scalpel". And then - his final comment....."We don't understand - to extend the analogy - why you don't just let kids hold the crayon anyway they want to and let them draw anything they choose like rainbows and horses and bunnies. Then the ones who decide they love drawing will keep doing it and those who don't wont". My friends - that story is pretty much where we are. When they love what they do, they will do what they love. It's time for a different approach to sport. newsportfuture.com/sport-pathway/

@TaylorTwellman @Purina @ColumbusCrew @MLS Well said! He deserves the recognition. He has done a fantastic job in developing one of the best teams to watch in MLS. Nothing but respect for Wilfred Nancy. Bravo👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

My @Purina underdog of the week: Wilfried Nancy of the @ColumbusCrew. Every player has improved and who would have guessed that a coach at a University in Quebec would be the best coach in @MLS in less than 20 years?! #MLS #Crew96 📺 youtu.be/riCkpE0yVws?si…
