@LVHoosierGK The most basic and simplistic element of the game, the relationship between ball and player in essentially non existent. Coaches also fail to realize that and seek to develop robots
Every time that I travel abroad and watch soccer it is always apparent why we are so far behind globally.
Look in any park, town square, neighborhood and some kid has a ball on their foot.
The development is not in training, it’s away from it.
The improvisation and comfort level comes from the unstructured nature of the game in an alley, square, beach, or park.
I watch club training sessions at local clubs. The training is basically the same across the board with a few exceptions. Rondos, some technical dribbling, finishing in front of goal, possession games and maybe small sided games to goal.
The difference is time spent with the ball on their foot on their own.
If US Soccer truly wants to change the game, make the game accessible for everyone. Develop futsal halls or courts in every park and emphasize local over national platforms.
The beauty of the game is that in its most simplistic form it’s about a ball and people.
Thats my rant. Look forward to getting back home.
@jen_chaparro@jesse_goleman@PIAASports Everybody wants to complain and offer these self serving solutions but not many want to subject themselves to the heat of solving the shortage...for whatever their personal excuse is
This is NOT an anti- ref tweet BUT
@PIAASports NEEDS to do something immediately about their B&G ⚽️refs.
Refs that don’t move, don’t even act like they want to be there & three center refs ON the field with whistles, NO linesmen with flags.
Embarrassment to the game
@Hei_zinberg@SkySportsPL Arsenal underachievers this year, fact
Arsenal did not get to any finals, fact
Spurs suffered injuries devastating, yet has a trophy to show for it, fact.
At that pro level with one the most expensive ticket to come by, winning trophies is a must, FACT!
All big club win 'em, Fact
@Hei_zinberg@SkySportsPL While their managerial pedigree lacks, what is it that you feel TH said was intellectually wrong? Analytically, one needs not be a success in the field to present an opinion. Would consider a club like Arsenal, at the pedigree of Arsenal to deem this season a success? Would you?
@Hei_zinberg@SkySportsPL In Wenger latter yrs it was no longer acceptable to just win the FA Cup or finish top 4 for CL. Are you saying,we've set our standard that much lower on our expectations of where the club shld be? Truly,a fail Mgr shld be able to spot one, no? TH is intellectual in his punditry
Players in the portal that I’ve reached out to, don’t be trying to reach out after you ghosted me 😊
But all seriousness, never ignore a coach. You never know what might happen, this circle is smaller than you might think 👀
@JohnDoe1426174@Rico20Gdawg@kzshabazz Are Sudanese Black or no? Do Eritrean or Congolese or Namibia behold of the exact DNA coding? Is white France share the same/similar coding as Estonian or British white to deemed white/caucasian?Blacks has a big family with siblings just as Whites. A common thread exist in ea grp
Malcolm X said whites tricked us into limiting our identity to the United Snakes and identifying as a "minority" when, in fact, we are part of the 1.5 billion strong global African majority
@Roger2dot0@kzshabazz How Africans on the continent or recently from it have you engaged in conversations with? Im not asking for a third-party source, but rather a personal (i form) experience.
@Bushiri20@radiookapi@realDonaldTrump This has got to be a joke! You a really calling on him to help? On what conditions and what are you giving up? Nothing comes with nothing handed over, you do know that, right?

@BrownFocs@EarlLandix In the depth of African cultures, hugs and kisses are not your customary behaviors either. But true indeed on the influence of French v. British
@Gentlemen_Alive@EarlLandix Judging another person with your own cultural lense without context to their is unfortunate. Not callus, per se, but different. It means not that they love you less or more because you got a kiss and a hug, does it?
@EarlLandix Dated a Jamaican girl met her parents in a visit. When it was time for them to leave they got up said goodbye and left. No hug, kiss, “I’m going to miss you” nothing. I thought they were just going to their hotel not the airport they were so callus. 😂 My mind was blown!
