A world where Spurs sell Djed Spence at this point in his career would be an utterly ridiculous one.

There are 18 members of FIFA's disciplinary committee but the unprecedented decision to lift Balogun's automatic ban was taken by just one person - the chairman Mohammad Al Kamali of UAE. No one else was consulted.

@IsaacKimes @bcbuckeye @AlexiLalas I mean, you asked. Guy has also been in broadcasting for over a decade. I disagree with him, but it doesn’t mean he isn’t qualified.

I with all due respect, I promise you don’t…

I would loooooove for another Billie Jean King moment where the US men’s and women’s team go against each other.

@bay_spray @AlexiLalas They do have free academies, but they are select admission/ funded by clubs. Basically scholarship style academies but very limited admission rate. CR7 was a part of this and discussed the extreme difficulty of making the cut. Pushes merit, but everywhere else is rarely free.

@lazydays1970 @franklinleonard @NobletStrength @AlexiLalas @ussoccer @MLS Sorry, when I think FIFA Rule 9, I think regulation for an in/ out of play ball. Which rule do you mean?

Agreed. I don’t like corruption in any private/ public form either, but I’m not surprised a bias towards a system ( @MLS )when that system inherently signs your checks.

Candace Parker saying Caitlin Clark being voted as the 11th-best guard by WNBA players is “crazy”

“You’ve got some insecurities if you’re sitting down and putting Caitlin Clark as the 11th-best guard. Y’all need to go to a therapist.”

Great idea! Still 1 thing: the will of companies to take the risk. We all like to allocate funds from companies we presume we know how their books operate. ❤️ the idea! But it’s the same as a fan saying to their club to just spend like it’s that simple.

[The Fidelity Salesman @FidelityPeddler]

No disrespect, @clint_dempsey may have done this. That I would believe. EOTD, CP’s career /choices are his just like LD’s were his when he took a hiatus (which good for him for doing what he needed). You can love the game without worshipping it.

USMNT legend Landon Donovan:

"You would've had to fucking drag me off the field. And I would've punched the doctor in the face and said, 'You're not taking me off the field."

@franklinleonard Sincerely, why? I get he’s not the playing pedigree of TT and Zlatan. Very few are. But he’s played professionally across multiple leagues & intn’l level. He’s been pres./ GM for 3 MLS Clubs, and has been @FOXSports for over a decade. Not my fave, but seems pretty merited.

[The Fidelity Salesman @FidelityPeddler]

Exactly

[The Fidelity Salesman @FidelityPeddler]

@CarliLloyd Empty thoughts of empty people. Not worth your time. Congrats on your new baby. You look great!

[The Fidelity Salesman @FidelityPeddler]

@lazydays1970 @franklinleonard @NobletStrength @AlexiLalas Completely agreed. Which means @ussoccer has hard decisions to make. But also, do we have an agreement with all private clubs (big & small) to this? That takes time to implement and it’s a big risk for all. I get why @MLS protects itself. More to lose. I disagree but I get it.

@diePlebejer @franklinleonard @NobletStrength @AlexiLalas Who does the money go to? USSF is a private organization. Government academies? Who sets it up? What committees research/begin looking/ creating infrastructure? Respectfully, saying someone else’s money is the answer is also a choice. We’re 39 tril in debt, can be better spent.

[The Fidelity Salesman @FidelityPeddler]

@lazydays1970 @franklinleonard @NobletStrength @AlexiLalas Both have primarily Pay to play systems (both I used in youth sports). Changes slightly as you age, but still takes money, investment, infrastructure, and mostly long-term commitment to growth. We don’t have that with soccer here yet. Getting better, but this isn’t presto/chango.

@lazydays1970 @franklinleonard @NobletStrength @AlexiLalas E.g. England has roughly 2 million men playing football recreationally on a monthly basis. 2nd highest is Cricket w/ 281,000. Are they going to generate tons of free academies like football? No. In US, highest sports played are Track and American Football. Both in 1 mil territory
