Humility and a willlingness to learn (even if you are *already* world class) will take you a long way. Fantastic mentality from Haaland.

It’s not disrespectful or a slip-up. He’s telling the truth, as he should.
MLS is a decent league but in comparison to the ‘big’ leagues, of course it is a ‘minor’ league. No controversy there.

Incredibly strict, which is how it should be.
Don’t throw the ‘world class’ comment around unless it’s applicable. Souness is spot on here.

“The players want him to stay.”
Starters, yes. This is normal on any team.
Ask the subs, the guys he took and didn’t give a minute during the tournament. They won’t say the same thing.
Don’t be naive.

Brits were not really given much of a choice.
An existing party who have destroyed the country for the past 14 years or a new party who will likely continue with the same destruction and divisive policies moving forward.
The UK uniparty is even worse than the US one.

This is what the most creative players do. Bruno for example gives it away too much at times but he creates chances. Palmer is the same.
100% sideways pass completion looks good on stats but it won’t create chances and win games.

Shearer and Lineker part of the media machine. They are only parroting talking points, not thinking for themselves.
Classy and frank response from Ten Hag. If only being a coach was as easy as analyzing the game with a mic in your hand eh? 😉

Great insight. The only thing you don’t quite get from the camera is the peripheral vision of the player.

Cash potential handball likely not given because it strikes his upper arm (below armpit line to be handball) and close distance/time to react is also factor.
Ball hits Havertz’ arm. Law is clear if ball strikes goalscorers hand/arm. Disallowed.

Practice develops competence which breeds confidence.
If you want to be more confident in games, you need to develop more competence. How do you do that? Practice.
When you reach that level of competence, you’ll know. It doesn’t have to be world class competence, just the level

Ref at fault first for not being aware of his surroundings.
Player then hits out at him (not with any malice).
This is where refs need to be less sensitive.
“Sorry mate, didn’t mean to hit you.”
Player and ref both apologize, get on with game.

Kids do not quit soccer because of ‘burnout’.
They quit because they can no longer compete with their peers and/or they have a bad experience with a coach or multiple coaches.
Thoughts?

Tactical (intentional) fouls are part of the game. We accept it.
But brutal fouls like this, with the intention to injure an opponent, should result in a lengthy suspension. No place for it.

Strong tackle but not a foul. Interesting hearing a players’ perspective even after watching replays. Surprised you think this is a foul, even more so a red card.
If you don’t have control of the ball (you didn’t), it’s a tough argument to make.

If a kid is not at the same level as others on the team, playing time in games can become an issue.
But the bigger issue is teammates.
After a certain age, players will not be tolerant of teammates making mistakes and not being up to the level.

When a top soccer nation fails at a big tournament, they are usually ruthless in terms of firing the coach (often they resign before being fired).
The U.S is trying to become a top soccer nation and so has to be just as ruthless.
Whether you like Berhalter or not is irrelevant.

Gordon and Palmer didn’t start a game. Two of our most dangerous attacking talents.

Having a closed system allows this kind of arrogance.
If Benny lad was at risk of being relegated for losing games, he might not be so dismissive of “second division” teams.
“It’s a second division. It’s not even close.”
Houston Dynamo coach Ben Olsen got spicy talking about USL Championship vs. MLS after the Open Cup loss to Detroit City.

If you do not have technical competence with the ball at your feet by 11 or 12, the chances of getting it later are low.
10 years, hundreds of players, yet to see an exception.
The earlier you start (engagement, not specialization) the better.

Kid was offered a spot on my team a year ago. He respectfully declined to play on a higher level team.
Hardly got any game minutes for past year and tried out again recently. Hasn’t improved, didn’t make our team.
Lesson: players MUST get game time to develop!

After the tournament, Italy will have an inquest.
The players will come out and say they were not happy with either the lineup, the tactics or both.
Look at their body language and lack of cohesive effort. It’s obvious they are not happy.

Great goal but more impressive is the big switch of play (one touch) earlier in the move.
This is what it looks like to scan and make a decision BEFORE you even receive the ball. First class 👏

Ibrahimovic once told me that we need to prepare players for the pro game from a young age.
Develop a “winning mentality” as he called it.
At the time, many years ago, I disagreed with him.
I’ve changed my mind. He was right.
We’ve become too soft.

It’s a yellow. Ref got it wrong by doing nothing.
Never a red. Players eyes on the ball the whole time until right at the moment of impact. Ref (and VAR if necessary) consider that when assessing a challenge like this.
Careless. Not reckless or dangerous.

One of our players went to a tryout last night. Big club.

“Yea it was ok, they lost at the weekend so we had to do a 3-mile run and didn’t play that much football.”

Well summarized.
The cautious, defensive approach by most teams has resulted in a lot of boring chess matches.
Teams aren’t focused on winning. They’re trying to make sure they don’t lose.
England are a great example of that.
Interesting debate on England’s (boring?) style of play.
Should we play more attacking, free-flowing football or continue with the pragmatic, defensive approach that has been more successful (results-wise) under Southgate than any previous coach?

Very good point, well made.
Goalkeepers cannot be immune from contact but if you impede their ability to catch the ball, it has to be taken into account.

So many parents have no idea what a HUGE impact ball mastery (focus) at a young age has on the development of their kid. Both on the soccer field and in the classroom.
I’m 💯 convinced that early age ball mastery will produce much more than skillful players. It will nurture the ability to maintain a focussed attention to improve - a vitally important skill to reach the high-levels of any endeavor.

Once they reach high school age, players who take the game seriously no longer want to play with or against those who don’t take it seriously.
That’s the reality.
