I think he can still get DC 10-15 goals a season. He probably still has a few decent years in the tank, unlike Lampard, Gerrard and Pirlo who clearly came here for a retirement check.

In most of these countries that de-emphasize results and focus on development the common thread is the parents aren't driving the ship, the clubs and associations are footing the bill. Here in the US coaches and parents are complicit in the problem, we live in an immediate gratification society. Most parents aren't patient and won't allow a coach years to develop a team, if you aren't winning the better players will go elsewhere. Development and winning aren't mutually exclusive but you have to be allowed to fail before you can succeed.

Messi can't win anything without the Spanish National Team feeding him the ball.

I always make sure our TM's are taken care, our parents do a good job of showing their appreciation with various gifts: nice bottle of wine, a massage package, $100 gift card to a nice restaurant, among other things. TM's are valuable to the success of the team.

Has anyone got any feedback on attending this event? Is it family oriented or more of a adult/drinking/watching games kind of thing? Was thinking of taking my daughter down and just wondered if it's suitable? The website seems somewhat vague overall.... esp. given then $22 entry fee. Its family oriented, kids are welcome

Couldn't Real Madrid have waited a few weeks? Arrogant really. They tried to but it was getting leaked to the press anyway so they went ahead and made the announcement.

He was let go because he accepted the Real Madrid job which caused friction within the team.

Surely some smart business person had the foresight to see that you need year round programming to justify building a complex that size and for that much money. If they had something like the Battery nearby (shopping and entertainment district) that would drive pedestrian traffic year round

crazy fact --- I've never been to lakepoint....... It's a great facility, across the street is an entertainment hub with miniature golf, laser tag, arcade, indoor rock climbing and a decent pizza place.

Think location is an issue, it doesn't get much use on weekdays, it's tough to get to at 5pm on a weeknight for most. Aren't going to generate enough revenue with just tournament income on the weekends

Not really, maybe it's happened a few times but its not blatantly widespread like other clubs. Are you joking? I happens all the time at NTH. Not sure what rock you are living under. It surely does not happen all the time, I've been there for nine years. Unless you have factual evidence just because you say so doesn't make it true.

With Georgia being one of the top 4 states for girls soccer, will Georgia have a representative in each age bracket? Where did you get your evidence that Georgia is one of the top 4 states for girls soccer? Not saying it's not, just curious if there is a consensus out there that states it. I would love to share it with my daughter.
NTH and CF are considered in the top 5 girls clubs in the nation so I think would lend credibility to that statement.

I've seen that at AFU before also TopHat has been known to do this as well. In fact, I would guess that most of the big clubs/coaches have done it from time to time. Not really, maybe it's happened a few times but its not blatantly widespread like other clubs.

How about promising one team and after signing day you find yourself on a lower team with the caveat you can play for the higher team at some point during the season which never comes to fruition?
You wouldn't believe how many former CF kids at NTH share similar stories.

Ask soccerfan30 if the same rules are in place that disqualified the midgets from nationals 4 or 5 years ago.
Now Now.... that had absolutely nothing to do with me

There's more to it than that, the comments made were inappropriate about a player.
Let me ask you this, if the comments where made about your daughter would you want it here for public consumption? My guess is probably not.
Take the situation and apply it to your child, you wouldn't want them embarrassed on a public forum. For me that's the litmus test if it should be discussed or not.
