Nutritious Weekly Soccer Reading

by dv March 6, 2015 No Comments

This past week brought some interesting reading across the soccer web.

First up, a blog post that aligns with our idea of how to tell if your coach is any good. A novel idea, judging your coach not on what they say, but on how their player’s play. Worth a read.

Next, Jon Townsend, whom we recommend you follow on Twitter, offers up a reminiscence of playing soccer for the love of the game as a youth.

Elsewhere in the blogosphere, Can’t Pass, Can’t Play (nice title, eh?) offers up advice on how to discern skill and technique in a youth soccer player and/or team.

Moving on to the professional ranks, we can’t agree more with this article, #BuiltForMLS, about smaller clubs not rushing to snort the MLS pixie dust. Be careful what you wish for.

For our last link, here is an expert’s opinion on why MLS is really Minor League Soccer. MLS and Sports Capitalism argues that MLS won’t be “Major League” until it drops it’s current structure and allows capitalistic forces to operate.

And finally, regarding the MLS CBA brouhaha of the past week, we’ll just leave these here. We think you know our feelings.

MLS TV revenue raises 300% and players get a 7% cap raise. Good work players union.

@TaylorTwellman @darrenrovell in European soccer, 65% of total revenues go to wages. NFL, 37%, MLB 47%, NBA 55%, NHL 71%. MLS at just 17%
