People talking about a Bronze mistake, yeah perhaps. You could see she wanted teammates in advance of the ball and didn’t give it square. But the 3 centre backs (Bright closest) not getting across to challenge. 😩 #Lionesses#WorldCup2023#WorldCupFinal
VAR penalty decisions are an absolute blight on the game. No consistency or common sense. What is a defender supposed to do? 2 already in this World Cup. Feel sorry for Docherty - body position looked totally natural. #ENGSCO
Great example of peer to peer learning! How do you incorporate this into your coaching sessions?! Reply with a practical example or strategy you use as coaches!
Interesting views on LFC vs PSG. Loathe play-acting and deceitful behaviour and fully-aware it is a typical British view. In Spain, tricking the referee is viewed as an art form by some. If you can get away with it as a player, then why wouldn’t you? Player, respect or FIFA prob?
Four tiers. Bottom = relegation. Top = promotion. Top of the highest tier = you qualify for a knockout competition, where you play other top-tier winners to decide an overall winner. If anyone still doesn't get the Nations League they presumably don't get club football either
Reading Pep Guardiola: The Evolution. Quote from Ken Robinson resonates “sadly creativity remains a dirty word for many in football. People cling to obsolete ideas and attitudes...Football has an atavistic aversion to concepts like innovation and change”. Have you an examples?
I’ll start. The (very English) concept of distrusting creative and ‘flair’ players. Hoddle, Gascoigne and Le Tissier won 110 caps between them. Scholes limited to a role on the left side of midfield in a 442 for years. Still see examples to this day.
I’ll also clarify the post - what examples do you see day to day in grassroots or pro game? How can you help to change these attitudes? You can’t enact a complete 360 degree change immediately, but can you make a difference?
Met the wonderful @CrawfordMichael at @TheSCT sick children’s trust charity cricket event. Such a funny and warm man. Don’t know if it’s worrying that I remind him of a young him. #ohbetty
