@PaulSpacey A quick shirt pulling solution is an ulna strike to the radial nerve, shockingly effective, memorable.
This video: white gave arm; orange, with hand up (no foul ref) clinches white elbow pit btwn arm/ribs; orange has complete vertical, horizontal control.
Victim mentality leaves match results to the hands of others. Life ain't fair. Nor is the Beautiful Game. Expect this. Prepare accordingly. Understand what you're willing to do to win. Sometimes, your greatest limitations are cultural values & naive expectations.
FIFA is like any other large organization or government. They are vulnerable to influence and corruption.
If you’re surprised, it’s because you’ve been living in a bubble with soft people telling you life is fair.
It’s not fair and you should prepare your kids accordingly.
@PaulOfRioRancho@3four3 Well, they awoke. Tuchel placed fire beneath their feet, bypassing Field Marshal Montgomery for a Patton-esque approach. "Attack. Attack. Attack. (in and out of possession)" At least it'll be more exciting than watching grass at grow outside Buckingham Palace.
@3four3 A "proper" team. Exceptional players. But as the modern trend goes: risk adverse; camp outside the area; void of urgency & penetrating creativity; cross the ball in occasionally to ocean of opponents for turnover. . . Culture counts (and is oft reflected in politics & game).
@PaulSpacey Sad. But normal tournament antics, even at U9.
Yes. It's ego, lack of education, and misdirected values (individual & collective).
On physicality and the dark arts: Red shirt performed a solid Judo Ukemi roll to feet. A useful skill for any footballer.
Trevor James: One of the best. From Europe, to MLS, NPSL, NISA, USL. @DetroitCityFC legend. He transformed me as a youth player. Positively influenced me as a coach.
Thank you, Trevor.
Your leadership transformed Detroit City FC and helped shape our club’s identity. We are forever grateful.
Stay tuned as we share some unforgettable moments from Trevor’s years at the helm.

@USMNT might have won w/ fewer excuses, fewer @MLS players, w/ pro/rel, w/ red white & blue rather than rainbow, w/ football rather than soccer, w/out gatekeeping against @OpenCup & youth programs to protect MLS programs, and had IFAB removed "deliberately" from Law 12.
Old Glory. . . She's looking absolutely amazing. . .

Diego Maradona: One of the greatest players of all time. Among my two favorite players of all time. And a cheif catalyst for my players having performed consecutive outside of the foot sombreros before beating a defender, delivering an assist, and scoring a goal.
Aside from the #cultural implications evident within this scene, fostered by poor #policy and ignorant #leadership, oft overlooked are the officers' meager #fitness and inept #combatives training, making them indecisiveness, ineffective, and a liability. #Judo#JiuJitsu
