***Official Soccer Discussion Thread*** (5 Viewers)

Went to a fundraiser for the mayor tonight and we presented him with a scarf from the Supporters Group. Good times.

 
Since the Righetti thread seems to have gone MIA a question for those of you experienced in the youth game. How much practice/game time is too much for a 12 year old ? This is my sons first year playing for a pure travel club, he's previously played travel for our local town club.  His travel team team practices Monday and Wednesday for 1.5 hours, Tuesday night they have a 1 hour training that is "optional" run by the technical director that includes the two U13 teams and the U14 team, then they play one game a weekend. I'm good with all that, but he also wanted to secondary on his old team so that he could still play here and there with his friends. They practice Tuesday and Thursday and play one game a weekend. Obviously he can't practice Tuesday's but trying to decide if he should practice Thursdays with that team to keep some continuity or take Thursday and Fridays off so he is rested for the weekends. Looks like he can make about half the local teams games as they are either the opposite weekend day or later in the day after his travel teams game so about 5 or 6 weekends he'll be playing multiple games. So far we have gotten lucky and it has either rained out one of the practices or fields were too wet from all the rain that he's never had more then 3 practices but with games starting this weekend I wanted to start planning. FYI his local team coach is ok with him just coming to games, he has two sons that play for the same travel club and he knows they are getting a higher level of training there then on the local team where half the team is really more rec but being a small club they end up on travel.

Naked Ronaldo's mirror boast

Rio Ferdinand would tell us stories about how Cristiano Ronaldo would stand in front of the mirror naked, running his hand through his hair, and say, 'Wow. I'm so beautiful!' 

The other United players would try to wind him up. 'Whatever. Leo Messi is a better player than you.' And he would shrug his shoulders and smile again. 'Ah yes. But Messi does not look like this...'

:lmao:

Some Nashville news from teams CEO

*GM to be hired in 4-6 weeks

*Head coach to be hired in first quarter of 2019

*Name has not been chosen but they expect it to be "uniquely Nashville" what ever that means.

*Working with city to use Nissan Stadium until soccer stadium is finished

*Met with Darren Eales (Atlanta president) to discuss expansion issues.  Won't be copying Atlanta as they want, again, a uniquely Nashville experience.

The name thing is straight out of the Austin approach. As you recall, we came up with the insightful and original name of “Austin FC.”

 
#ThankYouDeuce‏ @JogaBonito_USA

Tata Martino has reportedly held two talks with AFA, and negotiations for potential return as #Argentina coach "are on the right track." Nothing confirmed, but they've already discussed the conditions he'd require to accept the offer.
