I tweet about soccer. Sharing what I have learned over three decades as a player and coach. Former founder of @onekakana , Former founder of @fitbound(sold).

How a coach and a sideline react to a Hail Mary:

Pot/kettle?

The J-League 🇯🇵 started around the same time as MLS 🇺🇸, yet they have played 6 FIFA Club World Cup semifinals and 1 final while MLS has played none.

A Japanese 🇯🇵 National team with only players developed domestically is superior than a USMNT 🇺🇸 with players developed domestically.

. Soccer is not Japan’s number 1 sport
. MLS spends more money

What are they doing right and/or what are we doing wrong? 🤔

[Matt Ney @Mattrney]

That is the easiest question ever posed. Anyone inside of the pyramid can say without hesitation it’s to serve MLS and MLS only. No one else matters.

[Tactical Manager @ManagerTactical]

MLS and their intentions are crystal clear but what about the US 🇺🇸 Soccer federation?
In the case of the US Open Cup, they should 100% take action!
Will they?

Is the federation here to serve soccer in this country or to serve MLS?

[Matt Ney @Mattrney]

Standard operating procedure from MLS and US Soccer. If you are surprised you’ve been watching the NBA instead of MLS.

[3four3 @3four3]

In the past 24-48 hours, it seems more have realized we have an evil actor in American soccer.

I personally experienced this quite a while ago, and continue to experience it.

No, it's not "just business."

And no, in instances it's not just corruption, but evil.

[Matt Ney @Mattrney]

MLS not participating in the only open soccer event is right on brand.

Irony…The guy with cameras in his locker room saying provocative statements, talking about clicks.

[Grant Paulsen @GrantPaulsen]

This pregame speech was perfect. Oregon leads Colorado 35-0 at the half.

[Matt Ney @Mattrney]

@r2_rabbit @BestBuy @Costco @Walmart It’s really shocking that a company like @BestBuy can’t just do the bare minimum.

[Matt Ney @Mattrney]

@BestBuy has disappeared again. This company is about as bad as it gets when it comes to their customers. Buyer beware when you need electronics. Go to @Costco or @Walmart. They don’t just discard you as if you are doing them a favor by buying a tv.

[R2Rabbit @r2_rabbit]

@Mattrney @BestBuy @Costco @Walmart Yup. @BestBuy has some of the worst customer service out there.

[Matt Ney @Mattrney]

@Fitbound @BestBuy Yes. No way this is a one time thing. They know what they are doing. Its’s @BestBuy, you sell tvs and you somehow don’t have TVs? Maybe the @washingtonpost has a story here.

[Matt Ney @Mattrney]

Has @BestBuy ever sold a tv to someone and not delivered it? I have gone into the store, called 8 times, and and still no one can tell me they are delivering a TV. Never experienced this in my life. It’s been 2 weeks and they just keep giving the runaround.

@HoneyStinger waffles are the way to go! What a great collaboration. Players have loved the pre-workout waffles so far! It’s a quick bite before you ball out.

[Matt Ney @Mattrney]

Not even close. Option 2 all day.

[Golf Digest @GolfDigest]

Choose wisely. 👀

[Matt Ney @Mattrney]

You do have to love the “it makes us look weak argument.” It’s a balloon.

[Erick Erickson @EWErickson]

If the roles were reversed, I’m pretty sure the people defending Biden on the balloon would be attacking and vice versa. But, it does strike me as a Chinese test to see our response and failing to shoot it down makes us look weak. Interestingly…

[@bethesdascnews @bethesdascnews]

You’re welcome. DCU could make a business purely out of collecting money from our development of players.

[@bethesdascnews @bethesdascnews]

@SwitchbacksFC get $
@dcunited gets $
@fccincinnati gets a player.
Bethesda Soccer Club gets a 👏.

How does DCU get money for doing absolutely nothing in a player’s development? You have to give it to @ussoccer. They really know how to incentivize developing talent.
