Dear USA 🇺🇸
Are we willing to stop the same old excuses and change the way we train our youth players?
Yes, our women also. No more “it works for our women” nonsense as we all know that success was a product of other countries’ failure to support women. And even we fail our women in so many ways still.
Field by field, the status quo is so deeply rooted. The institutions do not care and have proven incapable or unwilling or both to improve the education of our young.
Clubs are merely a consortium of unsupported and isolated coaches doing what was done unto them.
Seriously. We are adults stuck so far in the past that we think going forward will happen in reverse.
I’m not waiting for the powers, the politicians or the pundits of soccer to change as their incentive to do so is non-existent.
We are going forward with a clear vision on how children best maximize their potential.
We have nurtured champions at every level of the game and on distinct continents. We have already proven our practice thousands of times over.
We no longer wait for acronyms to act. They will not do more than pad their websites with platitudes.
We are respectfully rebellious and we are players, coaches and parents with purpose.
@JohanCruyff inspired us and we respect and love him for that always. More than you will ever know.
However, TOVO is a family unbridled and no longer bound by twitter trolls or league burocrats.
We are passing on the left and welcoming all who care enough about children to leave the parking lot of complacency for the fast lane of the fabulous.
Vamos!

There's an absurd anti-Argentina misinformation campaign that's been running at full steam on the media. Here is the perfect example.
The media claims the Argentina team turned its back to Spain as a sign of disprespect. This is false. The team was in tears looking towards Argentina's core supporters section, where the fans were singing to honor them. They were all mourning. I was there, and can share videos of the moment.
Besides, there's no requirement nor tradition stating the losing team must stay on the pitch to watch the winners' trophy celebration. This is nonsensical. Losing teams don't do that.
The only piece worth reading about Messi and Argentina right now. From the start, the hate campaign felt inorganic—and this exposes why. The implications are frightening, reaching far beyond one athlete, into how narratives are manufactured and public opinion weaponized.

ليو ميسي كان يستحق نهاية افضل من هذه
If you're an Argentina fan, just know that we have witnessed the most successful Argentina national team over the last few years. You'll get fans of other teams and other players celebrating Argentina losing. Chances are the team they support has never been that successful.
2022 was everything we asked for and some more. Messi exceeding expectations at 39 made us a little bit greedy. Thank you Argentina thank you Leo for everything. It’s been the most incredible sports journey that I’ve ever witnessed ❤️
Thank you for everything.
Dropping one of the best World Cup campaigns at the age of 39.
Greatest sportsman of all time.
Greatest player in history of the sport.
Leo Messi’s letter to all Argentinians the night before the World Cup Final. 🩵🤍💌
“The most beautiful thing about all these years was 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲”.
“Sharing day-to-day life with this group, competing together, picking ourselves up in the difficult moments, and 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩”.
“Thanks to each one of my teammates, to the coaching staff, and to all the great people who work every day to keep this National Team as a 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲”.
“Whatever happens tomorrow, this group has already written 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 and that no one will be able to erase”.
“𝑽𝒂𝒎𝒐𝒔, 𝑨𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒂”.
If someone had told me that four years later, a 39-year-old Messi would have an even better World Cup than he did at 35, I would not have believed it in any world.
What an absolute freak. What an unbelievable player. It’s just unimaginable in every possible way.
This was then 15-year-old Enzo Fernandez writing this on social media when Messi announced his retirement from the national team. These kids are now dying for him on the pitch. Its a fairytale ending to a perfect career. Not even in movies would this ever happen.
