@ScottXfan @PeteFiutak Yeah, there needs to be some changes to encourage a little more offense. The fact you can be offside when your team has the ball in the box is insane to me.

@Don_K_Williams @iDoLikeSpam Really?

What made you love them as a keeper? It seems like of anybody, a keeper would hate them cause you're almost guaranteed to give up a goal...

[mac @redlight516]

@iDoLikeSpam @Don_K_Williams This is a take I'll agree with. And to add to it, PKs in Football are absolutely awful for determining a winner.

@conorsen My only argument against that is that you quickly diminish how much qualifying for the tournament actually means. Part of the allure of the world cup is that for many countries, just qualifying for it meant something.

[mac @redlight516]

@IAmJ_A_Hunt @StanUsmnt Yes, the continuously moving is the problem. The fact that you can be called offsides when a player on your team 2 meters from the net passes it to you 1 meter from the net and be offsides is the problem with the rule.

@TheCoachHomer @BaseballDudes48 Make sure every position is getting as many reps as possible. Thats all you need for an effective practice.

[mac @redlight516]

@TheCoachHomer @BaseballDudes48 Hard as in coaches overthink it. you just need reps for guys. The best coach I had ran the same practice every practice give or take maybe two drills. It’s not fancy but it’s effective. The worst coaches I had, wanted to run fancy drills to show how smart they are.

@jmhorp The only thing worse than ties are games solved by PKs. Take almost no skill, you pretty much have to suck to miss a PK. Teams set their whole offense around just drawing PKs because they know they won’t miss if they get one. Move the spot back and make PKs an actual challenge

@_Zeets As a Canadian, I hate the expanded format. It took 30 years to make it back and making it was an accomplishment. 4 years later, it’s turned into it’ll just be an embarrassment if they don’t make from now on and that sucks. 8 of 12 3rd place teams into knockouts? Come on!

@VicOlorunfemi10 Those guys can play physical though. They’d get into a soccer game, get within 10 feet of a European or South American, and the European or South American would drop like they’d been shot and then they’d get a card. Gotta stick with American football

@kendallbaker One way I think the premier league is better for fans is rather than 15 teams trying to be bad, there’s a real punishment for being bad so teams don’t actively try to suck. And they get punished rather than rewarded when they do.

[mac @redlight516]

@Prominent_Bryan The World Cup, especially now, has like 6 contenders and at least 2 of their first 3 games are a walk in the park. Some of them won’t see a difficult game until the 2nd round of knockouts

[mac @redlight516]

@BaseballDudes48 My best coach threw baseballs at us for at least 10 minutes every practice to work on blocking and picking. We called our own pitches so he worked us through pitch sequences and calls as well.

@RazzberryYams Growing up in Canada: Soccer was the sport you played if you were too soft to play hockey. Until they get the South American/European theatrics out of the sport, it will never be respected in North America that prefers sports that require toughness.

[mac @redlight516]

@underscore12346 @JimBiringer @gritless_leaf13 I'd also probably do at least the most basic research of maybe looking up points amongst rookie skaters...Yeah, I don't think this is something where "Bro, I blew it" is a good enough response. This isn't 7th grade math homework.

[mac @redlight516]

@ConnCFC Bring some honour back to the sport

[mac @redlight516]

@ConnCFC North Americans prefer sports that don’t reward you for acting like cowards. Until football fixes the problems of everyone diving when the wind changes direction, it will never be as popular as it should be.

[mac @redlight516]

@ChrisEricMcPike Anyone who thinks glove flips/bare hands should not be practiced should not be coaching baseball. I was a left side infielder and we devoted part of every practice to slow rolls, ran double plays specifically to each others' bare hands. Coach was an ex-pro so I guess that helped

[mac @redlight516]

@TheEXECUTlONER_ You're showing up the umpire. That gets you tossed. It's not hard.
