    Still learning about the new kick rules, did not know about the 20 yard landing zone thing.

    Rookie OL aren't really helping their case today, Jones and Adams haven't been a positive.

    Adams sure ends a lot of plays on the ground.

    Glad the search is over and we didn’t end up with a WTF hire. Hopefully, he is already evaluating the players and has watched some matches to see what does and doesn’t work.

    2024 1st round pick #4 is Marvin Harrison Jr

    Reputable and Chinese websites--don't go together. Just FYI 95% of those places you order counterfeit jerseys from in China use forced labor to manufacture them. If Customs intercepts the shipment the jerseys will be destroyed and you'll have no recourse.

    Well it appears he turned the job down. So as far as we know 2 managers have turned down the job. They want a new manager in place for the friendlies next month getting short on time now.

    The United States Soccer Federation is offering Pellegrino Matarazzo, an American who manages German club TSG Hoffenheim, its open job, according to German outlet Bild. Sky Sports reported that Matarazzo has been identified as one of the USSF’s top choices but that an offer had not yet been...

    I just read that the US is prepared to pay "high 7 figures" for a coach, part of that salary being paid by US Soccer sponsors not USSF. As an idea this was the pay for the last WC(in Euros since it was a European article): Best Paid Head Coaches in 2022 FIFA World Cup 1. Hans-Dieter Flick...

    I like Lalas in that he isn't afraid to speak his mind, no matter what. Agree or disagree with his takes he is not being controlled by USSF or the media. I feel similarly with Carli Lloyd, she speaks her mind and it is refreshing.

    I've heard multiple rumors, one is that Matt Crocker, USSF technical director, does not want him fired but others within US Soccer do. Crocker by the way was in Wales for the US teams run during the Copa America, couldn't even find the time to be on the ground to witness the disaster. I've...

    Oh and on a side note, that was one of the worst officiated international matches I have ever seen. Doesn’t excuse the result but it didn’t help matters.

    What a joke. If Berhalter survives this then USSF is flipping off the fans.

    Still waiting for a signature win under the idiot Berhalter. USSF doubling down and keeping him for a second cycle was ridiculous. Did you know he was paid more than coaches like Luis Enrique and Roberto Martinez at the WC? So it isn’t about the federation being cheap, they just want a yes...

    One memorable referee story for me, in 2019 I was doing a U14 or U15 club game. With under 15 minutes to go in the second half I felt some pain in my knee, figured I was old and pulled something. Limped my way through the rest of the match (not gonna lie I was in some pain), hid it as best as...

    In Illinois I got High School games with no assistants, pretty much all JV & Freshman games, they were that short handed. I always said the same thing you said and most of the HS coaches sympathized believe it or not.

    OT: Larry Allen Passes Away at 52 While On Vacation

    52! Makes you wonder if there was some underlying health issue or if it was caused by his playing time. That is way too young.

    One to a coach. A few yellows to the teenagers. I had quite a few “my time” player & coach conferences that I used to make it clear there would be cards galore if they didn’t shut the F up and to be honest I am proud of myself for not uttering a single curse word. Actually not just proud but...

    I can think of one particular tournament I did, 2 games Friday night, 6 on Saturday and 6 on Sunday…3 of those Sunday games were championships. This was a high level tournament in Illinois. By Sunday I was exhausted and my patience was shot, I had no tolerance for the coaches/parents on the...

    Not to make light of this guys medical condition but as a former ref in hindsight being deaf would have been super helpful during some matches I did for sure.

    Birdgang Takeover Miami

    A little over a 2 hr drive away for me so this may be the one game I make this year. A lot will depend on how things are going at work but I’d like to go for sure.

    Birdgang Takeover Germany

    I am the opposite, been to London a couple of times but never anywhere in Germany. Was hoping for somewhere new to me to visit.
