    I’ve coached a lot of soccer. I never played at any level. There literally was nobody else to coach the teams.

    I just don’t believe this. I’ve seen it with my own eyes with kids doing speed and agility training programs.

    There is a lot of complaining about rules in other sports. But people don’t complain about ones that would fundamentally change the game. Nobody is out here saying scoring in basketball is too easy, we should make it so there is no goaltending. Or something like scoring is too hard in...

    Oh, so guys just stopped flopping after that first go? Now the game is entirely cleaned up and it just never needs called again? Okay.

    The last time a baseball game had more viewers than the US/Bosnia game was the 2004 World Series.

    If no more were issued it’d be about 2% of games. https://kenpom.substack.com/p/the-charge-is-dead-and-the-game-is This year there have been a total of four flopping technicals in D-I vs D-I action. So basically slightly above 0% of games.

    It’s only an issue because the clubs control everything. If they didn’t have an absolute monopoly it’d be fine.

    1. Field space is very limited. The clubs control basically all the field space and cities overcharge. 2. There is an over reliance on “pro” coaches who aren’t any better than some parent which drives up the costs.

    I think this is critical. I have had kids play club basketball, baseball, and soccer. Soccer is BY FAR the worst. It’s terrible.

    Don’t get me started on the crapshow that is youth soccer. Until we decide to invest in youth soccer… no. We aren’t going to be committed to it at all.

    Any PG I feel like would have been awesome at soccer. Lipsey, Hali, Iverson, etc etc

    It’s the sport with the second most concussions behind football. It’s talked about frequently.

    I’ve given up on CFB because outside of Iowa state. The games are frequently twice as long as soccer games.

    Correct, Norway basically plays soccer I hate, it’s like 90% long balls. But I love Haaland so much it’s still interesting to me.

    Field space is a real issue. I know multiple kids in Ankeny charged with trespassing on soccer fields where they were just playing. I think a great step would be building a lot of futsal courts.

    What’s In the Bag? ***GOLF EQUIPMENT THREAD***

    My son needs a new driver - he just has a starter set but he doesn’t like the driver so he uses a like a 25 year old driver that just doesn’t have much distance. Any good place to get sized in DSM?
