    Do you have anything nice to say about the FA or the leagues in England?

There was, however, a graphic on one of the stations covering the World Cup that suggested we are getting a lot more coaches qualified now (although I think Spain has twice as many as any other UEFA country or something daft).

      I do think that the early education is one significant problem but I also think that problems like the fact that coaches who are good at developing young players tend to be given little say at big clubs plays a part. As does the nature of the lower leagues which are very competitive and risk averse.
      I think there will be a change in youth policy in a few federations after this world cup.

        No. But I hate football.

        Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.



        May the Lord bless this post.

          The problem is it takes maybe 10-15 years to see the effects. So we are now seeing the results of youth coaching from the era of 1995-2000, we won't know how good or bad the current system is for years.
          The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.
