How does one coach soccer?

Other than teaching children and beginners, it's gotta be the easiest job on earth. "Kick the ball." "Run." "Run while kicking the ball." "When inbounding, throw the ball over your head." "You can use your head but not your hands." That's about it, as far as I can tell.

There are no plays. If there are, they get disrupted by the opposing players. Otherwise, it's the monotony of running from one end of the field to the other with very little scoring. Rhymes with boring.


Found the guy who was in the band in HS.

There are plays, and formations, and strategy. The field is a giant chess board, and the strategy is continually shifting.

It's why you saw the US play an attacking style in the 1st half and so defensively the second.

Those things change based on how the game is going, what the other team is doing, who you have available for subs, etc etc.

Having a relegation system in baseball would be awesome. I would love for the bottom three MLB teams and the top three minor league teams to switch every year.

Also hating the favorite sport of the majority of straight men around the world sounds pretty gay to me.

Anyone suggesting that football players run more than soccer players is objectively a dumbass and isn't worth the discourse.

Imagine if the Scots knew about tailgating and had organized those! Every liquor store that sold beer would have been sold out in one day. (Except for the Bud Light, even they won't drink that slop. Men in kilts. Dylan Mulvaney must be dispirited.)

Okay for soccer folks here here is another dumb question:

Substitutions: Like when a pitcher is taken out of a baseball game, that's it for that player? Can't be brought back in later?

TIA.

I asked the same question on World Cup thread.

Would you say the same about basketball or football? Having been a soccer player and coach, there's as much tactical complexity as most any other sport.

I was in high school band, absolutely loved it. The marching everything. Play the flute, fake played the trombone and then was a xylophonist for two years.

Good times.

There are two types of US Soccer haters

1) Libs who hate to see men or America win something.

2) Conservatives that hate the sport because "commie gay"

Both groups should STFU

More people watched our first game than watched the NBA playoffs.

Therefore, US soccer is now more popular than the NBA in America.

Though that X post may be tongue-in-cheek, the truth is that the rest of the world would absolutely hate to see a dominant American men's team. The anti-American globalists pick at us for not loving "football", but at the same time, there would be nothing more loathsome to the same crowd than watching us win a World Cup. I don't think it'll be this time around, but it may happen one day. It'll be a delicious moment when it does.

Yeah, it is not all sprinting, but they run a lot - over six miles on average.

The biggest supporters of the men's team right now has to be the women's team. Because of the stupid equal pay agreement, the teams pool their World Cup earnings, including broadcast revenue, and split it equally between the men and women.

The men's opening game of this World Cup had 27.5 million viewers. The most viewed women's game ever was their gold medal match in the 2024 Olympics, but that only had 9 million views. With every men's game is starting at triple the viewership, I would say that is a damn good deal for the women.

They have instituted video review to give out yellow cards for simulation (flopping). One of the Paraguayan players got one in the last US match.

Correct. There are only 5 substitutions per team per match in this World Cup.

While probably true, this thread is about the men, not the women.
I don’t say this in a braggedocious way. But it’s true. I’ve been right about everything.

2 goals in the first half? What an offensive explosion!


Think of it as a football game that would be 14-0 at half.
yes this part should not be hard to understand. Just multiply every goal by 7 and it feel a lot more like a football score
