@htomufc Martinez is a total fraud. He’s destroyed 2 countries chances of winning a WC who had the talent to do so.

@coldxman Doesn’t matter when you have Matt Freese in goal though.

[Adam Falla @_adamfalla]

@Ankaman616 Not if you watched Rogers vs Panama it isn’t.

[Adam Falla @_adamfalla]

@Ankaman616 He looks an absolute shadow of his former self, such a shame how he has lost the confidence/ability to win a one on one.

@billycarpy As Nick Saban says: “Don’t practice till you can do it right, practice till you can’t do it wrong!”

[Adam Falla @_adamfalla]

I feel like the same applied to clubs as well. There seems to be so little attention paid to for instance Real Madrid’s systems that made them win 3 CLs in a row, because they were so flexible.

If there are less obvious repeatable patterns there is an assumption consistent good results are somehow just lucky or unexplainable.

Rather that digging deeper and finding the more hidden, constantly changing good decisions that are obviously being made.

[Adam Falla @_adamfalla]

@MeiaArmador__ Do you think it limits them in build up with Rice receiving as the deepest pivot? Would you move him higher in this phase, like Casemiro was used at Real?

[Adam Falla @_adamfalla]

@htomufc I’m assuming you’re not referring to the ‘Merican soccer league?

[Adam Falla @_adamfalla]

I dunno - I think it’s much better to have a coach who can create an amazing high press and then has the option to turn it down if it’s hurting us (like Klopp did) Than one (Carrick) who has never shown any evidence of being able to create a good high press.

If we want to be a top club in Europe we can’t do it without a functioning high press.

[Adam Falla @_adamfalla]

But don’t Bayern and PSG have super aggressive presses? Why does Iraola’s press make the game low quality vs Bayern’s lay the platform for dominating the game?

Could you not argue that Iraola’s coaching makes Bournemouth’s recruitment look like wizards instead of the other way around. Surely he has developed and platformed too many players very very well at this point to not lay at least a significant amount of that success to him?

[Adam Falla @_adamfalla]

@Ankaman616 Agreed - I thought we were awful. Serious doubts about Carrick as a long term coach. He does seem to be lucky though.

[Adam Falla @_adamfalla]

@Ankaman616 That was not solid. We got thoroughly outplayed. Extremely fortunate is a more accurate description

[Adam Falla @_adamfalla]

@htomufc But our midfield still got owned all game. That was such a lucky win.

[Adam Falla @_adamfalla]

@MartinRafelt @MH_SV5 Is there a waitlist to sign up?

[Adam Falla @_adamfalla]

@SjoerdMarijne @TheHockeyIndia @sports_odisha @EnglandHockey Congrats Sjoerd!!

@rileybrown Friend of mine owns a law firm. Increased case load reduced head count by half this year as he’s uploaded 20yrs of case files into Perplexity and it’s now better than anyone he can hire. A 2 week case with support staff now takes 2hrs on his own.

[Adam Falla @_adamfalla]

@Ankaman616 Likely zero. As always.

[Adam Falla @_adamfalla]

@htomufc Yeah you can’t blame the teams but the League should look at it and tweak the rules. If people start preferring to watch Italian or Spanish games because they are not set piece optimized then the EPL will suffer.

[Adam Falla @_adamfalla]

@Ankaman616 Or Bodo
