One of my neighbors is a DA coach at a local club and he said they had conference calls yesterday with all the DA staff. All they know is DA is...
I will add that this idea gained more traction recently because we did this last summer on a smaller scale. We got a half a dozen of our boys and...
Thank you. You sound just like the technical director at the club my son played for. As I told him, this isn't Spain. Our kids don't play soccer...
Long story short, we have a good group of U10/U11 families in the Charlotte area that are spread between multiple clubs. All the boys are playing...
I see people everywhere saying copy Germany or copy Iceland. We have a huge country with a massive population, why don't we split it up into...
Thanks for the comments and I agree with pretty much everything. My son is not age eligible to play anything else until next fall so we are stuck...
Just wanted to update on my son's soccer development. He just turned six years old this past Monday, so yes he is still very young. Last spring...
Didn't see it posted here but Barca will be having a press conference in Charlotte in the coming days to announce a major academy they will be...
Thanks and I definitely see your point. I want him to love the game (which he REALLY does) but I also want him to not get bored. As the season...
I'm half joking and half serious when I say this, but my five year old son is on pace to be the American Cristiano. He's always been very...
Given the personnel we have, we should probably be playing a false 9. We needed more players in the middle of the pitch. When Altidore went down,...
I don't think our backline was at fault. Our midfielders were as well as our passive style. Why do we give too much respect to these teams? Yes,...
IIRC, didn't Klinsmann say a few years ago that he wished he could have worked with Beckerman 10 years ago because he thinks he could have been a...
Basically it boils down to Davis or Green over Donovan. It was a huge mistake leaving him at home. Altidore: Looks like he's doing conditioning...
Yeah, both sides are going to say what you'd expect. The question is did Low and Klinsmann have a talk well before the Cup about this exact...
Not sure there is a clear favorite when it comes to deciding which spot is better: 1st or 2nd. Finishing 1st gives you an easier Round of 16 game...
I'd argue that Jones has been brilliant playing in spots of the field that Bradley should be in. That's why I'm thinking of the switch. To me it...
Yeah, I'm assuming we go with the 4-2-3-1 as MB on the wing wouldn't work. As for Jones, he's all over the field. I think putting him up in MB's...
Coming into this tournament, most of us believed that the US needed Jones to stay positionally disciplined. We all wanted Michael Bradley to be...
I don't disagree with you that they also fracked up big time but I expect more from Bradley. I view him as our best player and our general. The...
I love Michael Bradley but he has been our worst player. If Michael Bradley plays half as good as he normally does, we got six points in the bag...
This. I love how CR7 throws his hands up after every single play. All kidding aside. Score first against them and then watch them fall apart. But...
I think it's "when" and not "if" Qatar losses the rights. The FIFA official investigation report comes out in July and that will likely be...
I haven't had a chance to read through all the posts in this thread but I truly believe that multiple world class players born and raised in the...
When it comes to the national team, I wish there wasn't so much drama between the different factions of AO when it comes to songs and chants. I...
