Bringing Futsal BACK to Military City! Experience the excitement paired w/faster decisions, more touches & improved 1v1s. Changing the game! Futsal + Football.

Having played & coached in US/Europe, I mapped out what decides World Cup wins. My thesis: Squad % in Euro Top Flights is the #1 predictor of success. Combining coaching instincts w/AI data-modeling, I analyzed all Round of 16 matches. See the data, predictions & outliers 👇🧵

Brilliant find & body of work by the @ScottishFA on player dev. Focus on “elite” dev, but it has broad applicability. A few takeaways: <5 key time for early engagement, 6-7 & 10-11 key development windows, & “in any country, any program, kids should be playing futsal.”

Most will never take the time to read this. Perhaps the most up to date Research conducted on Trends in Developing Elite Players. A 133 page review that challenges many long-held assumptions about player development and reinforces the importance of what happens long before elite pathways begin.

@tomsan106 5 mins into this read/scan. This is a goldmine find Tom!! Thank you for sharing! It shows what many of us know intuitively after years of coaching. But this puts it together beautifully. Obviously, I’m drawn to want to jump to certain sections, but it’s brilliant! 🙏🔥 @AminHz

Agree or disagree with the AI data or my coaching instincts? Let’s debate in the replies.

🔮 Preview: Ultimate Thesis Test
ARG’s elite Euro-league density metrics 77% > EGY’s mere 19%. On paper, ARG should choke EGY out. But EGY possesses X-factor players & chaos capability that can break any model. See: https://t.co/3mzWScLc2N

[Fire Sports Intl @FireSportsIntl]

Clearly ARG @AFASeleccionEN is statistically favored to beat EGY @EgyptNT in Tuesday’s last @FIFAWorldCup 2026 Round of 16 match. Noting that w/Messi & Martinez vs @MoSalah & Marmoush, anything can happen. Still waiting on the true Dark Horse to show themselves! Ideas?

Football is battle. Battle is posturing. I get the smack talk. I do it playing ping pong or darts! 🤣 But at this stage with this audience, we want better. Do better peeps! 🔥🙏👍

Would love to connect on what you see as primary Brazilian failures! And what might change it. Brazil has been a model to so many for so long. Where is change needed?

[Última Divisão @ultimadivisao]

Neymar não é o maior culpado pela eliminação. Ancelotti tem muita culpa. Bruno Guimarães, Endrick e vários outros merecem mais críticas.

Mas a atitude do Neymar foi um vexame. E essa foto simboliza os últimos 16 anos do Brasil. O mundo rindo do nosso fracasso. Que bom que acabou a Era Neymar.

@MarkOHaire So sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. Way tough. Praying you have good people around you.

UPDATE on @USMNT v @BelRedDevils!! Following the suspension of @balogun's Ejection, are previous predictions void? No but, this match remains a good candidate for @FIFAWorldCup exceptions – the Elite Outliers, Cohesive Underdog (Home Soil), and the Penalty Shootout Equalizer.

Despite the hype, why the @BelRedDevils are statistically favored to beat the @USMNT in Monday's @FIFAWorldCup 2026 Round of 16 match. Remember, @pulisic is legit, but @FolarinBalogun is out! And then there are @KevinDeBruyne, @JeremyDoku & others for Belgium.
