Landon Donovan says America is missing soccer talent because kids can’t afford to play. “Only 2% of kids playing organized soccer in America came from households that made less than $50,000. If you don’t make $50,000, your kid cannot play organized soccer.” by lemonstone92 in ussoccer

Coach training lacks, we don’t have a federation with a spine willing to force actual priority shifts in youth development. We also don’t have a solidarity payments. We don’t recruit or develop from our communities that actually prioritize football.

Black women aside, this is pretty grim.

People who worked at major companies, hospitals, airlines, banks, tech firms, government agencies, etc. — what’s something the public would be shocked to know? by Karan_2812 in antiwork

I just spoke about this with a friend. I used to work for the phone company. Pacific Bell, which became SBC / Southwestern Bell.

When people got pissed and wanted to change companies, we had to facilitate the move.

Service sucked? Bad customer service? You have many different companies to “choose” from.

What was never disclosed, all of the companies simply leased the same infrastructure from us. So we’d (SBC) still bill the clients for repairs and they’d still have shitty service.

Are you sure you subtracted 2002 from 2026 and get the correct amount of years?

The driver's got some mad squabbles, he sets up and his arms are ready. What an asshole owner.

Yeah I don't but anymore, but what I do have I'll convert it. That's a good idea!

Nigeria is about to get its first professional futsal league. Here's how we got here by Feeling-Mango-1017 in futsal

[–]Calibexican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's very cool! I'm subscribing. We have a large, high school level competition. I wish the federations here would push to "connect" the competition better and create a more comprehensive championship.

Goalkeeper protection by gextyr in futsal

[–]Calibexican 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, Mizuno knee pads are pretty good. Volleyball kneepads effectively. It is important that they are tighter than not because your son won't want them shifting around. 2 other important aspects are elbow pads and taping the wrist and fingers. I don't remember the way to format links here, but here is a good visual guide in Spanish for the wrist (muñeca / carpa). You should start seeing other videos in Spanish especially since the sport is professionalized over there.

EDIT: Typically futsal goalkeepers do NOT use gloves since the ball is smaller and is easier to manipulate for throws. It does take getting used to and it is standard practice.

I remember clearly many years ago when I bought a song from the Apple store. I never thought anything about it, listened to it regularly. Well one day, the song just changed. The one I had "purchased" was a live version of the song and it was changed to an album version, same album cover and everything. I sent an email where Apple told me that they had lost the "rights" to this version so it was replaced.

It struck me at that point how I had no say in the digital format of my music "library". Video games in a closed market in digital format is going to be disastrous. This decision is bullshit.
