I actually thought it cleared out the midfield because they didn’t rate him as high as Rodri. And he took total advantage of it. Comedy at its best
After two days of reffing a tournament ….
1. Youth soccer at all levels is an emotionless, purposeless, and joyless after school activity.
2. There are some bad referees out there.
3. Parents are more committed to their kid’s team … than the kid.
4. I am more convinced than

Maybe because for the entire tournament, and to the run up .... Rodri was always the guy. Always. They really didnt think about a game without Rodri. That's how.

I get it, but Boards are not these willy nilly things that anyone can join.
He is one of 3 pro council board members, including reps from the USL and the NWSL.
Are you suggesting all board members who represent the Pro Council should not be on the board?
@burnerusmnt
This is a fantasy list, except for David Wagner. Most would be looking for $5 to $10 million a year, something the Federation won't pay because it will create an enormous difference between Men's and Women's coaches salaries. Kind of cooked our own goose here.
Watched about an hour of a scrimmage at the

Without some of the governmental and financial scaffolding to maintain at least the name of a club alive, 70 some odd EFL clubs would have gone to the wayside since the 1990s.

Twitter University just had its graduation ceremony for conferring degrees in Coaching, Player Management, Development and Tactical Nuance. Think it was a graduating class of 1, 2 million.
I'll be doing an update to "So You Want to Play Division III Soccer?" with some other learnings, resources and observations that I have gleaned since this first came out.

Having watched the first game between San Jose and DC United, to all through the years, this is demonstrably false. Where it hasn't helped US Soccer is that it has made our Concacaf opponents better. MLS is no longer focused on US players as it was in the early days.
@bwfast
Starving? We already have it, you just don't like it. For "real club soccer with promotion/relegation" you need as a starting point, you need lower leagues that stable and clubs that are relevant. Really don't have either. But hey, Pro/rel...

In case you were wondering, this is what is important. Not soccer. Not reffing. GOLF is the most importa … wait. Meant family….. FAMILY is most important.
@tomsan106
There is a correlation between when MLS started signing Central American talent and when CONCACAF got more competitive. It hasn’t been a league for American players in a long time.
@reformussoccer
Thats what happens when a majority of clubs are irrelevant. You can post this list 1000 times more, but it still doesn't get over the fact that a majority of these clubs are gone because... no one cared.

I’m a dual national, chose the US, and never got called when I played. Still waiting for the call up because even at 54 I got game. Instead they called up Tony Meola…..
Yes, I tried to come up with a list of programs that play the "best" soccer.... at least in my book.

Honestly if you would have told me that after three years I would still be doing videos on Division III, I would have suggested therapy. But now realize I think I need the therapy. Just got this notice that in that time, I’ve posted 800 videos. That’s a little under one video

I think the starting 11 who played Brazil in the 94 World Cup is a team I would have taken to this Copa America. Skill be damned. That team bled red, white and blue.

Just been informed that I reached over 150 subscribers on YouTube. Would like to think it was all me, but truth be told, it's been the coaches who I have interviewed. So incredibly supportive, and so talented. Here is to the next 150. Thanks to all of you for the support.

This started in the 90's for Mexico. This is not a recent occurrence.
Total games in blue. Mexico wins in Orange. US wins in Yellow. w/ trend lings.

Spot on. Funny thing is that I think the environment in High School soccer more closely resembles college soccer that club soccer does.
