I used to respect Bruce, but no more. I remember the squalor our US team was in with Sampson, and I was enthralled to see a coach rise the US...
I have no problem cheering for Mexico so long as they're not playing against the US. I'd like to see at least one concocaf team advance. If all...
Re: Da Bruce Gets Fired!!!!! We did a fantastic job today? You don't think leaving in McHead while we have a fresh E Johnson or Wolfe sitting...
Who do I want? GK-Keller RD-Churundolo, CD-Gooch, CD-Boca, LD-Lewis RM-DMB, CM-Dempsey, CM-Donovan, LM-Convey F-Johson, Wolfe Who will he...
While I think the ref was horrible for this game, the US goal in the 2nd half was a true offside. McBride was obstructing the view of the Italian...
Re: Da Bruce Gets Fired!!!!! What a horrible game. The reffing was atrocious, but Bruce's coaching was just as pathetic. Mastroenis red card...
Donovan was simply out of position. He's been playing attacking center mid for most of qualifying, then suddenly he's up top with McHead... That...
I forgot about Carlos Bocanegra...why wasn't he starting yesterday??
Ching, Johnson Convey, Donovan, Mastroeni, Dempsey Gooch, Pope, ....and two wing Defs... Keller
If we're going to start the blame game, then lets start at the top with Bruce first. The players came out flat and looked out of sorts the entire...
I find it amusing when people complain about their dvds or tapes. What did you expect, to instantly overnight become Pele? I've used the...
Playing year round isn't a problem...its the organized practices, games, and shuttling all over the country thats the problem. Burnout is created...
I've seen all sides of this one before. I played HS, I have kids that played HS, and I've coached HS for a decade. I guess I'd say, talk to...
Offensively when teaching in triangles its because of the angles for passing. Typically you want to avoid flat square passes because if a...
I thought I would give an update on the ugly season.... From a record standpoint we are currently sitting at 2-10-1 on the season... I'm...
I'm really sorry to hear you don't like your Coerver DVDs. My only question I guess is this...if you had the tapes from the library last year,...
2-8-0... you're missing the big picture. Think of any professional, college, HS or youth team and imagine what the game would look like if...
Not to start a war or words or anything, but to imply that tactics is more important then skill is nonsense. Without skill a player can't pass,...
No, we can't get out of any of the games. Unfortunately, the athletic director promised the other schools that we would play the two...
Thanks for all the tidbits guys... I've actually been doing all of the above. Its just a very slow process and its tough on the girls to keep...
Although I typically feel overly confident in knowing what to do during any boys or girls HS season, (I've been coaching HS over a decade now),...
I've talked to plenty of college coaches. They recruit from both the club and HS ranks. So lets put that argument to rest. As far as the...
Where are you located? With as many coaches as there are on this forum, you might attract some if you list your city, state, etc. btw: If...
I've coached HS for almost a decade now and I've had college coaches contact me about players. Typically the scouts will come to the HS tourneys,...
Buckwheat...some casual observations and thoughts: First and foremost, whatever you do, keep it fun for the kids. If you try to push the kids...
