Former Coach, US Gov/History teacher. Opinions are my own. RTs/Likes not endorsements.

Thank you Coach Bass. Thank you for all those hard lessons and for believing in kids like me more than I believed in myself. You changed my life, and by extension the lives of many others.

@afuzejenkins @StatessideFooty No you just have an inability to critique Chelsea, Stan

[One-Time Wrestling Coach 🤼🇺🇸🇺🇦 @FormerWrCoach]

@afuzejenkins @StatessideFooty City is run by Abu Dhabi, PSG is Qatar. United has been awful, because there’s no consistency, and Real Madrid was great when they were consistent and terrible when they weren’t.

[One-Time Wrestling Coach 🤼🇺🇸🇺🇦 @FormerWrCoach]

@afuzejenkins @StatessideFooty You won’t cast a critical eye at how your club routinely misuse talent or how there’s zero consistency. What happened when PSG hired a manager and let him cook? Keep defending Chelsea and those 9th place finishes despite spending the GDP of a small nation on transfers each summer

[One-Time Wrestling Coach 🤼🇺🇸🇺🇦 @FormerWrCoach]

@afuzejenkins @StatessideFooty The different managers all wanting different things from him? Yea, sure. Under one manager he’s a key piece and under another one he can’t get on the matchday squad. The Chelsea churn is unbelievable and yall just keep swallowing it instead of demanding stability

[One-Time Wrestling Coach 🤼🇺🇸🇺🇦 @FormerWrCoach]

@afuzejenkins @StatessideFooty I mean, if you can’t see that the instability at Chelsea was a drag on Pulisic, then you have some incredible Chelsea-Stan levels

[One-Time Wrestling Coach 🤼🇺🇸🇺🇦 @FormerWrCoach]

@CockyFreeman The only way to effect change is to starve USSF of funding until they replace everyone there with true soccer people, not data dopes like Matt Crocker. A data driven strategy led to Gregg 2.0 when Gregg 1.0 was a failure to anyone with eyes and a functioning brain

[One-Time Wrestling Coach 🤼🇺🇸🇺🇦 @FormerWrCoach]

@afuzejenkins @StatessideFooty Pulisic was like so many players Chelsea buy and never play or develop. Look at their rosters. The sheer numbers are astounding and honestly Pulisic’s career was hampered by Chelsea. Too much instability, too many players, no directional philosophy

[One-Time Wrestling Coach 🤼🇺🇸🇺🇦 @FormerWrCoach]

@afuzejenkins @StatessideFooty Pulisic was a full international a decade ago. If Salah was a full international on Argentina that’s a different story than Egypt. Notice all those players had to leave Chelsea.

[One-Time Wrestling Coach 🤼🇺🇸🇺🇦 @FormerWrCoach]

@afuzejenkins @StatessideFooty Because their talent overcomes the crap Chelsea put them through - eg Salah and De Bruyne

@admcrlsn Mandela Barnes should be nowhere near elected office. He’s unserious and cost Dems a senate seat

[One-Time Wrestling Coach 🤼🇺🇸🇺🇦 @FormerWrCoach]

@loudibella @allrockmusic Not sure I can take a list like this seriously if Eddie Van Halen isn’t on it. Good shouts, Lou

[One-Time Wrestling Coach 🤼🇺🇸🇺🇦 @FormerWrCoach]

@TimBrando @SportsCenter If he was serious about his analysis and not being a cartoon villain, sure. But he’s the one who said that he says things to get a reaction. And I can name at least 2 dozen USMNT players who’s words would carry far more weight

[One-Time Wrestling Coach 🤼🇺🇸🇺🇦 @FormerWrCoach]

@TimBrando @SportsCenter Bucky Dent also hit a homerun in 1978. No one is calling him a Yankee great

[One-Time Wrestling Coach 🤼🇺🇸🇺🇦 @FormerWrCoach]

@Dhaneye Alexi Lalas wouldn’t know a good opinion on soccer if Zlatan wrote it out and practiced it with him. Alexi is part of the problem. This is an old boys network that never actually did anything but make money off of young kids and their parents

@CockyFreeman Freese gave this Kopite some real PTSD with the Karius flashback

[One-Time Wrestling Coach 🤼🇺🇸🇺🇦 @FormerWrCoach]

@StanUsmnt I’d go further, he set the culture back at least a decade. We may not have been an offensive juggernaut, but we fought. He coddled them and then when one of them bucked he threw the kid under the bus. If we had relegation in MLS his team that year would have been sent down.

[One-Time Wrestling Coach 🤼🇺🇸🇺🇦 @FormerWrCoach]

@Baghurst If Leo Messi did youth soccer he’d never play because he’s too short and too slow. We don’t teach technique, AYSO and other organizations sell then grift that winning youth teams = scholarships. What all youth sports has become is insipid, greedy and anti-sportsmanship (2/2)

[One-Time Wrestling Coach 🤼🇺🇸🇺🇦 @FormerWrCoach]

@Baghurst This pay to play model does nothing to develop talent. European FA’s have a badge system so youth coaches are certified in the fundamentals of the game. In America, the game is the province of the upper middle class. (1/2)
