D1 college soccer under threat

I find more respect for players who get gashed, get wrapped and are trying to get back in with blood dripping down their face. Hell Abby Wambaugh got staples on the sideline and got back in.
That's BS soccer and it's why all the girls go to ER every weekend Vegas guy. My dd had so many injuries it was uncalled for all because_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.
 
To be clear, I am not calling your daughter awful. I am saying being coached to develop tears and embellish a touch, hack or potential dive is awful. You don't coach players to do that at least in my philosophy.
OK, thank's for being clear. I'll warn all of you right now. When the games begin, when my dd gets whacked in the box, she's going down for the count and will let the ref make the call, not you guys.

What the hell is the girls league you're a part of bro? I will make sure we skip the the game with your squad. My gosh!!!!
 
C'mon man, that was a joke. My dd cried all the time when big girls whacked her and she whacked them back by winning and with some tears along the way. You folks take me way too serious. Lighten up!!! No coach told her to make up tears either, only I did so we could win and brag that our team was #1.
sarcasm is lost in text and you my fried as funny as somethings are that you say you are quite a talker so it is hard to discern between reality and jokes.

Lighten up Francis (Line from Stripes). I am talking about pro's and adults not youth players. figured the Abby W reference would tee that one up but obviously you missed that game of hers. I have held out more players because of a blow to the head than most coaches and I take my players safety over winning any day.
 
Ney Mar is just like No Mar. Stud and great soccer player he is. @Kicknit22 One minute you think I'm ok and the next your all angry. All because of one of the all time greats in Neymar? Chill out and be happy. Neymer is and was one of the greatest of all time. He invents his own moves. He's silly good.


9 times of of 10 you have to actually make hard contact to get Messi to go down. And if he goes down, he doesn't act like someone snapped his fibula with their laces. Neymar is a disgrace and he gets more dive warnings than fouls now.

I was talking about my 11 year old being taught to win and don;t call me Francis or I will kiss you :)
 
If you want people. to stop flopping, we need to teach refs to call the fouls.

Current guidelines and training give preference to keeping game flow at the expense of penalizing fouls. At higher levels, not much gets called. It’s rough on kids who play up.

As AR, I’ve talked to more than one ref who explained that he didn’t call the foul because the player didn’t fall. He saw the trip or push, agreed it was a trip or push. We both agreed there was no advantage. But, because the player kept their balance, he allowed it.

In effect, the rule is “no flop, no whistle”. So people flop.

I've actually started seeing some officials pull a yellow for 'dangerous play' even though there was no contact made. It's the intent was malicious, card comes out. Seems as though I'm also seeing more yellows given, too, once the ball is dead... sometimes 20-30 seconds later... because the fouled player maintained advantage. That's one I don't remember seeing much of before.

If you can stay on your feet play through. LOTG are interpretations/guidelines to keep the flow of the game going. I am of the belief of stay on your feet if you can. A flop is that phantom touch. I think I posted videos. HR's should be more diligent in calling the phantom touch foul. But if they call everyone of those they must call every touch. The game needs a flow. I appreciate the ref that allows a flow and does not need to be at the forefront of a match.

ST. EDWARD’S UNIVERSITY DISCONTINUES SIX ATHLETICS PROGRAMS IN RESPONSE TO ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF CORONAVIRUS



AUSTIN - As the effects of the coronavirus continue to impact every sector of the economy, higher education is no exception. Along with other universities across the country, St. Edward's is making difficult, but financially sound decisions for the future of our institution. At the end of the spring semester, the university is discontinuing six athletic programs: men's and women's tennis, men's and women's golf and men's soccer. Cheer will be transitioned to a club team under the guidance of the RecWell Department.

"I am deeply grateful to the coaches who have worked diligently over the years to build nationally recognized and well-respected programs. The coaches and student-athletes in these programs are talented and hard-working, and I respect them immensely," said Debbie Taylor, associate vice president for Athletics. "As we make this difficult transition, I know that all of our coaches and staff members have our student-athletes as a top priority and will work closely with them to support their needs."

All scholarship-eligible student-athletes impacted by this reduction will have their athletic scholarships honored for the duration of their undergraduate enrollment at St. Edward's. Those wishing to transfer and compete at another institution will be given their full and immediate release.

These decisions follow a comprehensive evaluation of the athletics program including sport sponsorship, state of available facilities, cost of running programs and future enrollment expectations. The university is committed to providing our student-athletes an environment of academic excellence, quality facilities and opportunities to compete and achieve at the highest levels. This immediate action to redistribute financial resources allows the university to continue programing for: men's and women's basketball, men's and women's cross country, men's and women's track, women's soccer, volleyball, baseball, softball and esports.

With these remaining teams, the university's athletics program remains in compliance with NCAA DII and Lone Star Conference membership requirements of sport sponsorship. We continue our commitment to support gender equity in athletics and empowering student-athletes to reach their maximum potential in academic success, athletic competition and personal development.
 
and no one hacks Ney? He just cries more and that is part of who he is. It goes on all the time, especially with dads on tier 3 teams......lighten up Lester........:)

Of course he gets hacked. All the best attackers get hacked. Neymar goes down and makes "I just got hit by sniper fire" faces everytime. If you asked 100 people who the worst 'diver' is, Neymar gets 95 votes. There's no glory in that.
