"People who love soccer should want to see good soccer. "
Category: Professional on 10 Nov 2006
I don’t think that MLS fans should demand quality from their teams merely because they’re paying customers, but because they’re fans of the game as well as the team. People who love soccer should want to see good soccer. The idea that soccer in the U.S. is so weak that any negative reaction to it will destroy it is another thing I don’t agree with. I’m also not of the camp that thinks MLS teams are incapable of good soccer –

"Today Major League Soccer charts new territory among major professional sports leagues in the United States by launching a youth development initiative that allows teams to acquire, outside of the annual draft, top young players from their respective local areas. Ultimately, this initiative will enhance the quality of young players entering the League and allow more of them to represent their hometown teams."

So it begins. The NCAA Tournament is under way. Forty eight of 199 teams remain. Although 48 is definitely a more manageable number to follow, I understand how it still could be a little overwhelming to some people.

"Soccer Programs Lose Sight Of Kids"
Category: Youth Soccer on 09 Nov 2006
An old but good article written by a man whose father helped build Ballistic. He coached every U10 team for many years - during which Ballistic dominated the Northern California and beyond. The articles brings up some interesting points facing many clubs. What do you do when a team wants to move to your club? Who should get credit for the development of the players in these situations? There are clubs who have built their name off of situations like this but how do they do when they cannot recruit? How are they with developing the players from within their club? Do they have the ability to develop players? Do they let the public know the state, regional or national championship is due to the players taken from another club? Should clubs list the names of their older players along with the number of years spent in their club and the number of year spent in other clubs.  In any case enjoy.....
 
"An International Plot to Stop Our Development"
Category: Youth Soccer on 09 Nov 2006

Karl Dewazian and he is serious........?

"The world is becoming aware of the emergence of a 'sleeping giant'. They realize that with our resources and size it is only a matter of time that is keeping us from attaining our rightful place at the top of the soccer world. The space for the World Cup trophy has already been cleared away at the Soccer House in Chicago. Yet, they are stopping us with a 'secret weapon' that even a Batman foe would view with envy. They are infiltrating us with a 'training virus."

 
John Murphy unleashed!

The CYSA Leader quoted from Karl Dewazian's Fundamental Soccer Web Site:

" Moving beyond the laws of the game and rules that govern it, I would pose the following queries: How do you know a player was taken down from behind? Do you know what the requirements for that foul actually are? Do you have any training and meaningful experience with officiating? Were you the assessor assigned to these games? Were you better suited and situated to see the action than the referee? Just the physics and mechanics of the game of soccer, the differing positions of people in relation to the field and play, and the dynamics of what is happening in a game would strongly suggest that the answers are in the negative."

 
Are USYSA or CYSA serious about soccer?
Category: Youth Soccer on 09 Nov 2006

"Football associations that are serious about the game's health and growth are duty-bound to promote mass participation and interest," Roxburgh said. "Grassroots football, which acts as a vehicle for social integration, health and happiness, is the aim. As a by-product, talents will emerge.

"Constant development of the game is imperative, and the foundation of all football growth and advancement lies in the grassroots," he added.

How many games did you attend........?

"We don't like to kick and run. We like to possess the ball ... looking to attack," coach Dominic Kinnear says. "The people wouldn't keep on coming out here unless the team was good. Playing soccer the right way — with skill, determination, hard work and commitment — is what these people like."

While Pipe received credit both for making Canada the host of FIFA's Under-20 tournament and bringing the next MLS expansion team to Toronto (and building its new stadium), the decision to remove him has come "20 years too late," says former national team player Bob Iarusci, who says "the game up here has been set back 25-30 years" by "the British mafia" who've instilled "no structure, no leader, no passion, no vision.
