I coach the West Ottawa men’s soccer team and we won the provincial championships. As a result we are off to Halifax on the 3-9 of Oct for nationals. This is an expensive excursion. I have started a https://t.co/9o98WlwuSE to raise the money to allow our players to attend.

Play the game. Don’t drill the game.

No 7 year old should go to soccer practice to stand in line.

What are we doing people?

🗣️ Jürgen Klopp: "Sometimes people ask me why I am always smiling. Even after we lose a match, sometimes I’m still smiling. It’s because when my son was born, I realised that football is not life or death. We’re not saving lives.

Football is not something that should spread misery and hatred. Football should be about inspiration and joy, especially for children.

I have seen what a little round ball can do for the lives of so many of my players. The personal journeys of players and so many of my boys are absolutely incredible.

The difficulties I faced as a young man in Germany were nothing compared to what they had to overcome. There were so many moments when they could’ve easily given up, but they refused to quit.

They’re not gods. They just simply never gave up on their dream."

Rick Pitino is right.

Every player’s hourglass runs out faster than they think.

The practices. The games. The grind.

One day… it’s all gone.

Cherish every rep. Every moment. Every opportunity.

Don’t waste your sand. ⏳

“In football, before any tactic, there are people. The player is not a piece that you move, he is a human being full of fears, dreams and feelings. When he feels respected, heard and that he belongs, the game flows with more courage and creativity.”

In 2026, Liverpool have 0 wins in 9 Premier League games in which Mo Salah hasn't started.

Six points from a possible 27.

In all comps, it's 1 win in 12 without Salah starting this year - that win was against Barnsley in January.

They've won 12/17 when Salah has started.

Your best players need to set a standard at practice by being the hardest workers.

If they don’t, it’s tough.

🚨🎙️ Gareth Bale on Luis Enrique subbing off Dembélé in the 66th minute against Bayern Munich

“When I saw that moment of Luis Enrique subbing off Ousmane Dembélé in the 66th minute of a massive Champions League night, I was shocked but the lad’s reaction shocked me further….he simply urges his teammates to keep up the pressure, walks straight over, shakes his manager’s hand, no words, no face, no drama, and sits down like it’s the most normal thing in the world.

That’s why he’s absolutely flying under Enrique right now. He’s bought into the system completely — tracks back, presses, puts the team first, perfect display of humility, no ego. No wonder he’s Ballon d’Or standard and thriving.

At Real Madrid it was exactly the same: no player was ever bigger than the club, no matter how many goals you’d scored, how many titles you’d won, or what the fans chanted. You accepted the gaffer’s decision because the badge came first.

These days too many lads have this entitlement mentality , I am pretty sure I can make a list naming names of these players — sub them off and they sulk, they storm off, they make it about themselves. Football’s changed, but the ones who still get it, like Dembélé under Enrique, are the ones who end up winning everything.”
