Re: Crisis Mode - Future of our football
I feel for you guys. I feel bad myself, being a fan of the Super-Eagles. I gave my 2 cents by showing what works for Croatia in a past thread. Short story: to be competitive, you need a decent league and associated network of academy teams offering coverage. That is the only way to produce a deep p...

Re: Coach Prime!
The team is improving. Need to correct a couple of things. Lost today 48-41 to USC. I am happy with the improvement. Still need about 7 to 8 new players. But I like the progress. Both defenses are horrible. High octane offenses. Like I said, I’ll join in later in this talk…we should probably have a...

Re: Coach Prime!
I follow college football as much as real football. Fighting Irish fan for decades! 👏🏈👏 I’ve got a lot to say about the Coach Prime circus. I will when I get back from vacation. But I’ll briefly say: Sanders has an opportunity with NIL, transfers, and charismatic as well as solid coaching to take th...

Re: Will Serie A go 0-3 in Euro Finals?
I follow MC closely because Kovacic and Gvardiol are there. Pep seems to know a few important things that elude many managers. He knows quality players and develops an optimal system for them. As might be expect, he doesn't have much tolerance for dissent. He did it at Barca. He's doing it now at M...

Re: Spanish FA President Under Pressure to Resign After Kissing Female Player
Rubiales treated the players like little girls. I was shocked to see him lifting them over his shoulder, and engaging in overexuberant hugs that saw him literally lifting them off their feet, and then there was kiss. He also grabbed his crotch after the victory right in front of the queen and her d...

Re: Spanish FA President Under Pressure to Resign After Kissing Female Player
I’m the biggest opponent of wokism. But this is a legitimate case of personal and institutional harassment. Things like this necessitate and make wokism possible.
The attitude of Spanish leadership is appalling. Classic good old boy attitude. Tone deaf to what Hermos and women are saying.

Re: Spanish FA President Under Pressure to Resign After Kissing Female Player
Luis Rubiales screwed up. This was never sensible, less so given how thoroughly HR departments educate and train regarding harassment and protected characteristics. He deserves the punishment coming. Imagine this were your girlfriend, sister, wife, or mother. Hell, this is fighting stuff. BTW: it ma...

Re: CITY WINS the UEFA SUPERCUP
BTW guys: I'm watching EVERY MC game...following Gvardiol and Kovacic, on whom Croatia NT depends. Again, time will tell if MC can be a dynasty like RM or Barca were with Messi and CR. I'm not sure. So far, yes, they seem to be th best current team...but I don't sense yet that the player collective ...

Re: CITY WINS the UEFA SUPERCUP
Interesting acquisition. Doku has all the attributes to be a fabulous wide forward, blistering pace, adept in the dribble and decent output with both feet. Occasional overdoes it, retains the ball for too long and has the inconsistency almost quintessential in such talents (ASM, Adama Traore etc). ...

Re: Women's World Cup 2023
I wonder if we will hear much about women's football until the next WC? I watched a lot of the games, recording and getting up early. I actually enjoyed the games...in spite of the incessant social and political rhetoric coming with it. Because of the latter, I won't spend $1 on women's football. I...

Re: Gusau: “Most of our coaches don’t have any real grasp of tactics and technique
I'll add one more obvious thing that all of you of course have already stated. Yes, it all takes money...which takes organization and less corruption. It is what it is. I'm with you in rooting for the Super Eagles and Super Falcons. Again, I'd have loved if the Super Falcons beat England and did som...

Re: Gusau: “Most of our coaches don’t have any real grasp of tactics and technique
I'll chime in with my usual reference to what works for Croatia, as I follow youth development there closely. Croatian coaches do not emphasize tactics. Technique, absolutely. The primary aim of Croatian academies are: 1) Coverage: everybody gets a chance and look for a long long time. 2) Skill and...
