CHICAGO (September 15, 2023) - As part of U.S. Soccer’s ambitious strategic plan to grow soccer across the country, the Federation today announced that Philanthropist Arthur M. Blank has contributed $50 million to support building a National Training Center and expand opportunities across the soccer ecosystem.

U.S. Soccer plans to construct the nation’s first-ever designated National Training Center in the Atlanta area funded in part by the contribution from The Home Depot co-founder and Atlanta United owner. The facility will serve as headquarters for the U.S. Soccer Federation, creating a central hub for the entire soccer community, including coaches and referees, to access best-in-class training, technology and infrastructure to promote successful and sustainable playing environments throughout the country. For players, the National Training Center will provide the best environment, guaranteeing uninterrupted access to elite infrastructure for training, development, recovery and performance analysis – cultivating expertise and excellence in the sport on an international level.

What is the right thread?

it's a running Soccer thread joke because we have a few threads.

consider it your initiation and welcome into the fold.


this thread is for US related talk- actual US national team, or players on or around the team playing for their teams (or news involving those guys).
there's a match-day thread for in-game talk of all other games (US games are usually discussed live in here).
there's a "soccer" thread for everything else, including Union or other better MLS teams like NYRB.

Take it to the soccer forearm.
 
Pepi scored a PK after being a late game sub.
Dest started and went 63
Tillman still stuck on bench

PSV won 4-0 and is top of the table with a perfect 12 points and a game in hand on second place

seems weird they gave Tillman the 10 shirt and he's not get a second on the field.
 
Balo's goal- every touch of it- was seriously nice. each little touch from the first to the shot, spot on setting up the next, right option... plus using his positioning, strength and pace to get there. and the near post over the shoulder banger- ballsy and perfectly taken.

going to be a long season for Slonina. 1-3 today to Standard Liege (regularly a top team there). he's going to need to stand on his head a bunch to save them, and to get noticed for the next bigger thing (unless we're counting Chelsea as the next bigger thing).

anybody know more about Adam's return? I saw a tweet or IG recently showing him sprinting with the caption along the lines of "see you soon".
 
Somewhat interesting to see today that the German national team coaching salary, which is over three times what US Soccer is paying our coach (or at least what he was paid on his last contract - about $1.3m), is still far short of what unemployed Julian Naglesmann would need to consider coaching his home country. Naglesmann was making over 7mil Euros at Bayern so won't consider the German job, which pays about 4mil.

Obviously there is plenty of "in between games" stuff that goes along with being a national team coach(scouting, administrative stuff, shaking hands and kissing babies, whatever) ....but its hardly an apples to apples comparison.

The coach at Bayern basically works full time from early August through the end of May coaching around 50 games. Obviously they have the winter break and some additional off-days but its pretty much a full time job for around 10 months straight.(and they're obviously "working" during the summer with transfers and whatever else)

The national coach (especially in a non-world cup year) basically has to coach what 15 games?....over the course of maybe 5 "windows" lasting a couple of weeks tops. (obviously longer if its a WC of euros year) Kinda seems like its basically a total of MAYBE 2-3 months of ACTUAL day to day work and the rest of the time is just going to watch games and attending the occasional fancy dinner or Zoom meeting.

Obviously both have their positives and negatives.....but at that salary level......I'd sure as hell much rather work 1/5th the time for half the pay.

This is US Soccer, so it is worth nothing that they were paying JK more money to not coach the team than they were paying GGG to be the coach, at the same time. JK made over $1.4m in one year, almost 2 years after he was fired.....

JK's highest paid year was in fiscal year 2017/2018 (ended March of 2018), when he made over $3.3m.

all good points.

I would even increase the club coaching job to close to 11 months because many clubs start the summer touring seasoning very soon after their Euro season ends.

I wonder if anyone has done a study to see whether international coaches are more or less likely to be sacked compared to cub coaches....

No idea on that last point but I did read that Hansi Flick was the first German Nat coach ever to be fired.

looks like they got him even with the pay cut

==================================


Fabrizio Romano

@FabrizioRomano


German DFB now close to completing the formal agreement to appoint Julian Nagelsmann as new head coach of the national team, as
@cfbayernreported today. Details being discussed on salary as he will take pay cut — Bayern are prepared to terminate Julian’s contact.

Argh that's really lame. Was really looking forward to watching.

I was surprised when I saw the rumor earlier in the thread that he was going to be rotated out for this game, as nothing I read or saw gave the impressions that Chukwueze had shown much thus far. I had to miss the Inter game due to family obligations, but it didn't sound like CP did much to impress there so I guess that's why he didn't start. Or maybe just a weird rotation thing - Reijnders didn't start either.
 

[Jonathan Tannenwald] News: A Warner Bros. Discovery Sports spokesperson tells The Inquirer that with the launch of the new sports streaming tier on Max, there will no longer be USMNT and USWNT games broadcast exclusively on Max. All games should be on traditional TV and Max going forward.​

 
[Kevin Baxter] Jalen Neal becomes the fifth LA Galaxy starter to have a season-ending injury after undergoing surgery for a sports hernia. He joins Javier Hernandez, Gaston Brugman, Martin Caceres and Lucas Caligari on the sidelines. He will also miss the next two USMNT camps.
