Idk, this is new to us. Is that what y'all did when you finally beat Tennessee after 9 straight losses? Oh wait y'all actually just stormed the field like little bro lol



Tennessee fans…

Do whatever it is that the French are doing. They've produced the most successful system in the last 30 years. Beyond Mbappe and Zidane, top to bottom they have the best rosters, so their developmental system is probably one we should study and emulate to a certain extent.



I watched a documentary about Mbappe the other day. He grew up in a shitty neighborhood and his bedroom window overlooked the neighborhood soccer field. He got identified and picked up by the national team academy, nd the rest is history.

But I agree with you that we should "do whatever it is that the French are doing." We don't have to get "all the best athletes." Just some of them. There are 3-5 million black people in France, and 45 million black people in the U.S.
Mark Richt is the most genuniely good person imaginable.

Richt and Meyer spoke at the high school football team banquet two years in a row. Meyer showed up about 15 minutes after it started, got up and spoke for about 5 minutes about the importance of winning, and then dipped out and went back to the airport.

Richt came the next year. Stayed to the very end, clapped for every junior varsity best special teams player award, and shook hundreds of hands.

The man is a saint.

So who will win the Kirby Cup?



90-something percent are driving-related charges. Rival fans on here sure seem to get super gay and happy about Georgia players getting pulled over for driving like Nascar drivers.

And by the way, October 1st will mark the 10th anniversary of Tennessee's last win against Georgia. Maybe they can have a reunion and be honored after the first quarter at one of the games at Neyland this season.

Apparently this is a serious question, which is astonishing.
In retrospect it would've been better to play like shite against Bosnia and squeak out a victory. The focus and sense of urgency would've been better last night. Instead our players were reading their own headlines.
I know that "we need more black kids to play soccer" is polarizing, but maybe the MLS academies could do a better job of outreach in the African-American parts of their cities and identifying kids for their academies.

Host events in a park. Bring out some of the players. You don't even need a soccer goal. Grill some hot dogs. Give away some jersey tee shirts. Have all the kids line up and race. Take the 5 fastest kids and see how far they can kick a kickball. Proceed from there.

It’s retarded




Players would get to stay home. I imagine that would be a big draw. And they'd also be working towards a larger goal. You'd just have to figure out how to pay them and where the money comes from.

NBA players have never been more skilled. You have 7-footers shooting 3 pointers and taking people off the dribble.

NBA players are softer these days and more likely to be head cases, but they've never been more skilled.
Form an under-23 MLS team with nothing but American players. Run it like a national team academy. Get rid of the salary cap and pay them well so they don't go to Europe. After you turn 23 you age out and have to go play in Europe or for another MLS team. But in the meantime all of the top young American players are playing for the same club team and building chemisty. Or at least that's how I imagine it in my head.

quote:

The USSF should pair that with crating boarding school academies that are basically the soccer version of those speciality sport schools for football and basketball and like Europe has for soccer.



That's a good idea. Never thought of that. Definitely have them in basketball. Cooper Flagg played for one.

I always wondered what what happen if MLS had an under-23 team with nothing but American players. After you turn 23 you age out and have to play in Europe or for some other MLS team. But in the mean time you pay them really well so they don't go to Europe, and all the best young American players play on the same club team.
quote:

The US Soccer federation should be saturating the inner city with small pitches and soccer balls.




Go to every housing project, give away some tee shirts, line all the kids up and have a foot race. Then take the 5 kids who finish first and see how hard they can kick a kickball. Proceed from there.
It's all imaginary, but I like to imagine that one goal is like 11 points in NFL football and 14 points in college football.
In the end we lost in the same round we usually lose in, except by more goals than usual. And at home. Very deflating.

Certainly seemed to light a fire under Belgium's arse, at a time when they were coming off a bad game and were going to be focused and locked in regardless. In other words Belgium definitely had the motivational edge.

I think that, if not by now, then the USA will never be a consistent force in international soccer.




Absolutes are never not annoying, as if you have a crystal ball or a fricking time machine or something.

America has 360 million people (45 million black people) and the largest GDP in the world. You don't have to get all the top athletes. We're not Belgium. You just have to get some of the best athletes, and have a leader with the right vision.

It's impossible to say or post something OP did without basically saying or posting "people suck and people are stupid." Even if someone thinks this, it still rubs a lot of people the wrong way.

Did Indiana outspend Georgia on its payroll last year? I don't know, which is why I'm asking.
