That 6 year old also doesn’t eat his vegetables which is also not great for development. He’ll likely be just fine.

The “AYSO Drone” of the ball being smashed away and everyone cheering is definition nails to the chalkboard. Horrendous habit and virus to development

Is it odd to anyone else that in the year of our Lord, 2026 that NWSL team websites are STILL sub-pages of the MLS sites? I'm looking at you @HoustonDynamo / @HoustonDash

I’ve got a whole folder on my phone full of apps I’ve downloaded just to watch @NWSL soccer.

Real question for fans, feel free to reply or DM, but have you ever gotten too annoyed with having to figure out which channel or streaming service an #NWSL game is on that you’ve given up/not watched/done something else?

For those who say “unopposed” training doesn’t work. I’m doing this with my U7s this week #trophies

For those new to the US Youth Soccer problem, The US National Team played 4 games in three weeks in the World Cup. My teenage daughter played 4 games this weekend. (And the parking cost the same.)

Maybe soccer should start giving 6 points for a goal. Then, you get a free shot from 3 yards away for another goal, but that's only worth 1 point. We can call it an "extra point". That "boring" Netherlands win was actually a 35-7 blowout. #fifaworldcup #americanfootball

World Cup hydration breaks would be legendary if some player’s mom just sprinted onto the pitch with a bag of orange wedges like it was 1998 rec league soccer. ‘Here, eat these, you look dehydrated!

Even though this is the first one, I am already in love with this! Maybe a future coffee table book?

Complex, not complicated. This is the first in a poster series exploring the principles of play — the ideas beneath formations, tactics, styles, and coaching preferences. Part 1: strip the game back to its essential truths. It's Principles.

If that was a “friendly” I can’t wait to watch a game when the 🌎 🏆 is on the line.

So it’s clear that THE rivalry leading into the World Cup next year is Brazil vs USWNT. I’m here for it, it’s a good one.

Which evil multinational trillion dollar media company are we all going to shell out $30 to so we can stream the World Cup ⚽️ games?

This seems like a double edged sword... you could just be developing players for the transfer portal. Also, who says you'll have a job long enough to realize the benefits?

I'm starting to think ECNL ⚽️ is a marketing program from the major airlines to make more money. ECNL - Endless Costs, National Layovers Bringing families together - in airports across the country.

Saw this here yesterday and used this scoring method in a game of 3v3 last night. Kids loved it and it made for some very competitive matches.

There's something amazing as a ⚽️ coach when you make halftime adjustments, the players take in the information and execute which leads to success. It really brings together everything we talk about when working as a "team"

Say it louder for the player (who is talking to her friend while your trying to make the point) in the back

Your first touch should be decided before the ball reaches you.

Wait until they get to D1 and have to lift, practice, play, eat right, travel, go to class, get treatment, study, do conditioning/speedwork, and get 8hrs of sleep. All day every day.

Is this a 3g or 4g pitch? 😜

The ball is honest. Your touch tells the truth.
