Last night was a special night for @UCRsoccer_M and @UCR_Athletics. Receiving our @BigWestMSOC championship rings and watching the guys celebrate again was amazing. Their smiles are what it’s all about. @UCRAthAssoc #JogaUCR #EarnedNotGiven #Family

Now a CB UC Riverside alum and former LA Galaxy player Daniel Aguirre has been quietly tearing it up in Liga MX. The 26 year old Mexican American is another MLS player that Chivas has taken a chance on and is benefiting from. 🐐

5) Thierry Henry on Messi: If Messi did not get a free kick he thought he deserved in training, he would immediately ask for the ball, drible everyone, and score. Then he would defend extremely intense, win the ball, and score. Then he would relax.

We are praying for this nation. We're people of the Book, and the Book tells us to pray for our leaders, even if we don't agree with them. And Trump is one of our leaders. He was a president. And Joe Biden is one of our leaders. He is the current sitting president. There aren’t many things that President Biden does that I agree with, but it is my job to pray for him anyway. And certainly to not bring him harm. I can disagree with him and still honor the office and still honor the person. And certainly not engage in any kind of stupidity like some of the rhetoric that has gone on in the last 48 hours—and really has gone on for the last several years. Some of you are really too serious about what happens in the White House. If you'd concentrate half as much on what happens in your house, you’d be in a whole lot better shape. That's really the common denominator of success. It hasn't got anything to do with those guys up there. Yes, they do some things that affect our lives, but I've had several of them try to ruin my life, and they hadn't pulled it off. And I've had several of them try to make my life better, and they haven’t pulled that off. I'm old, and I've seen presidents that were going to be the end of democracy, and they weren't. And I've seen presidents that were going to be the second coming of Jesus, and they were not even close. I think the problem is that the level of anger has to do with the expectations of what the office can provide. Treat these people like people—they have families, they have children, they have friends. I've got friends who are congressmen, friends who are senators, and the stuff that they have to put up with… Some of you are just out of control, and you should not spend your money on Financial Peace University—You should spend it on counseling. Concentrate on fighting for or against ideas. When you have to vilify or destroy a person because you disagree with their idea, you've already lost the argument, because you've lost the high ground. You don't have to destroy people for your idea to win.

The Turkish Second Division is wild: - Usakspor keeper saves 90th min penalty - Booked for coming off his line - Penalty retaken, saved! - Booked again for leaving his line, sent off! - Defender goes in goal - Saves the penalty! 😂😱

“We spend a lot of time really focusing on the parents…” @UConnMBB Head Coach Dan Hurley, in advance of the National Championship game, on what sets them apart part in terms of recruiting. In his words, they aren’t afraid to say NO to ‘neon talent’ if the player and parents haven’t demonstrated the ability to put the team first. #MarchMadness #youthsports #coach

Amazing words by Lionel Scaloni about today's football 🧠❤️ "There's an excess of analysis, too much. Nowadays, everyone knows how the opponent plays; there's so much information that, in the end, the most important thing, which is the player, is almost remote-controlled. In our case, I don't know about other teams, but there's a risk of losing the essence, taking away from the player what is precisely their best quality. If you're constantly telling them what to do, you run that risk. We convey just enough, what we believe we need to transmit, the truly important things, so as not to overwhelm them with information. We are losing the essence of football, not only at a professional level but also with kids. My children play in Spain and are overwhelmed with information. They receive the ball, and they're already being told what to do. "There are fewer dribblers because if they barely get the ball and you say, 'Pass it!'... Imagine if Messi, when he was eight years old, had been constantly told by his coaches to "Pass it!" We wouldn't have him today. It's impressive. Because football has become such a huge thing, everyone reads, studies, and thinks that with that, they can already manage. If you tell a 7 or 8-year-old to make a diagonal run, cover defensively... He's seven years old! Let him play with the ball, make mistakes, and when he's 14 or 15, then we can start correcting. It's a message for the future. This is a sport, and the beauty of football should not be lost." @marca
