@WoolannSheep @Morgan_Hughes a league that can spend whatever they want is LESS capitalist?

@_ToddBeane This one FB group I’m in… parent asks about some device for developing soccer IQ… just watch the game, play the game

Shit You Don't Need For Player Development
1. Perfect Lined Turf Fields
2. Nike/Adidas Kit Packages
3. Excessive Travel
4. Labels, Inflexible Age Groups

What You Do Need
1. More Time With A Ball At Your Feet
2. Coaches That Understand Learning
3. More Time Playing & Practicing

20m. in... I thin this is a manufactured coaching stoppage by Arteta via Ramsdale

Sadly I’ve worn Nike R10 and Nike Premiere’s for the past 20years.

Nike has announced it will "stop making any product with kangaroo leather" by the end of 2023, the sportswear giant said in a statement sent to ESPN.

@FCDrewCampbell Trossard is one of those players that shines with a talented cast around him. He wasn’t a star at Brighton or for Belgium.

I wonder if Arsenal got really lucky with him or saw his full potential? ie knew he was good but not THIS good.

Launching on #vulcanrocket aboard @astrobotic Peregrine, the @cmu_iris rover is the size of a shoebox and weighs just 4lbs. It’ll be the first student-built 🇺🇸 rover to land on the moon and is equipped with cameras to observe the moon's terrain & enable remote guidance on Earth.

@24x7soccerus After this fiasco? We should look outside for anyone that hasn't been in contact with Federation at any level.

@fortheblogy @coachcodutti @409TailgateClub love the insight particularly on the "sideline look" on the Singleton (long) TD run.

@Softtop67 @DanPoche @steind13 I bought tickets to the Pitt game at 7. Might try to do a double header and do the CMU game at 1.

@eo_performance I first saw Petra in the Indy movie. Thought it was just a movie set. Then I saw a drawing in a TinTin book… for a while I STILL thought it was something the movie makers saw in TinTin.

[Rob Azarcon @RobAzarcon]

@fortheblogy @409TailgateClub @coachcodutti Curious what you think the adjustment should have been? How/who should shift to be the defensive +1? Is it as simple as bringing in a safety into the box?

[Rob Azarcon @RobAzarcon]

@ClintStoerner It’s all “mythical”. Does it matter? They’ll get tested soon enough and teams generally land where they should by the end of the regular season.

[Rob Azarcon @RobAzarcon]

@PickleBall_Sage @PennStateFball It wasn’t a good game plan, because it wasn’t prepared for being dominated physically by the UM o-line. 10-2 is still possible. Which is actually pretty good for this group. Not really sold on Yurcich and Diaz. Did we sell out to stop the run, knowing we have a great secondary?

[Rob Azarcon @RobAzarcon]

@ryajones_ what's your response to "smash it long"? Do you drop off and stagger the 4 and 5 after loss of possession. Is there immediate pressure when you lose it to reduce quality of long balls out? GK starting position to intercept long balls?

[Rob Azarcon @RobAzarcon]

@FCDrewCampbell @ryajones_ But their analytics have identified the latest buys as can't miss.

Dan Snyder saying "it's a mafia! everyone hates everyone!!" and the owners rebutting it with "nah we actually just hate Dan" is soooooo funny to me lmfao

@jon_townsend3 I suffered a compound tib-fib fracture playing old man soccer from a bad tackle from behind. Hope everything goes well for you—surgery and recovery.

[Rob Azarcon @RobAzarcon]

@chrisp365 Gotta look at the bright side. State College and Morgantown are fun end points.
