After many years of hopeful reading and discourse, the recent lack of sincere interest in the WC has confirmed my worst fear: that, as a state with thousands of kids playing and as a country, we (you) have absolutely no chance of moving forward the culture of soccer.
Every major thread is dedicated to either the destruction or bad mouthing of rival clubs and leagues, most with no basis in fact whatsoever. This wholesale denigration has replaced any constructive discussion toward furthering either the fan base or the game itself. You can’t even have a lively dialogue regarding positive training tactics. What do your kids hear in the car?
Congratulations to the founders of T/S as they have managed to provide an outlet for the ignorant and angry whose sole focus is why their kid is not as good as they think they should be and are willing to scorch all who try to help, be it coach or club.
Soccer is and always has been the World’s game, except here, where we (you) have managed to turn a thing of beauty into an ugly, selfish creation with no resemblance to the original and make it all about you.
