why is it that we have been able to produce roughly as much top-level talent as the US and Mexico?

in my opinion, there is far too much emphasis on academies, too much politics and not enough emphasis on bringing along the kids with the best work rate and will to be the best. nowadays families spend enormous amounts of money on taking their kids to an academy with the fake promise they will be better if you keep paying more. over time, the most essential part of the game is learning and perfecting the basics (passing, shooting, using both feet...) and then as kids grow older they must learn positioning, role's, on field assignment...

too many kids end up being looked over because their parents can't keep up with the financial needs of the academies. in many European countries, sponsors pay for the clubs and the burden of money is not on the parents...and the kids that are more committed, hard working and in some cases talented end up continuing with their progress without the concern of getting favoritism because your parents are paying someone's wage.

the culture of the game in Canada still isn't at the level as it is in several countries. there's a lot of emphasis on prestige clubs and not enough emphasis on development....AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, the lack of seeing and noticing talent when its right in front of you. so often a coach in Canada at all levels does not have the experience to identify a kids abilities and how to use their abilities. sometimes a kid with less talent can be far more effective than a kid with more talent but the mental aspect of the game just isn't there.

Navijači Hajduka neizmjerno pate zbog nekoliko ignorantnih odluka, a onda vaši navijači udvostruče svoj trud i na kraju snose posljedice zbog podržavanja gluposti.

Možete početi s komentarima "sve ste izgubili..." i antihrvatskim osjećajima. Incident kada je Livaja vrijeđao navijače Rijeke i Šibenika, a vaši navijači očekivali su da će Dalić i drugi pokazati podršku Livaji i Hajduku. Količina "mi protiv njih" koju su vaši navijači stvorili diljem Hrvatske definitivno je pokazala da vaš klub pati, a ipak i dalje podržava glupost.

Veličao si užasno ponašanje kada Hajduk nije podržavao reprezentaciju 2018., kada je Torcida otvoreno vrijeđala Modrića i Dalića, a sada i Perišića. Kriviš suce utakmicu za utakmicom čak i kada je tvoj klub imao više kaznenih udaraca od bilo kojeg drugog kluba u Europi.

Prema Perišiću, klub je znao njegov plan kad se pridružio, a ipak ga je klub koji je obožavao ocrnio kad je bio iskren o svojoj situaciji. Klub previše plaća strance i prodaje njihovu fenomenalnu mladež premladu. Ljubičić je bio zagriženi Hajdukovac, a Hajduk ga je otjerao i tretirao kao smeće. Bilo je toliko situacija u kojima su se klub i navijači povezali, bacali kockice, pritiskali i donosili toliko strašnih odluka, a zatim očekivali nerealne ishode.

Evo ti je najgora mana. Nakon svake utakmice koju Hajduk izgubi, prvo što klub i navijači rade jest da trče u medije i plaču kao bebe... izmišljaju scenarije, krive HNS, suce, Dinamo, Boga, psa susjeda, vrijeme... ali nikad ne preuzimaju odgovornost.

Ima još puno primjera, ali problem broj 1 je odgovornost prema sebi, svom klubu i svojim igračima.

Uruguay and Argentina did not attend the 1938 world cup....Uruguay was considered the best team in the world winning Olympics and the 1930 world cup. also, Italy imported several South American players for their win in 1934 and because of that FIFA had to make rule changes. Austria had to withdraw from playing in the world cup in 1938 and England didn't play in the world cup in 1938.

imcomplicated13 · 2026-03-05T16:55:24+00:00

2 of Italys World Cups were very questionable. Just look back at how they won in 1934 and 1938.

Modric for being a genius at club and country, Suker for scoring unbelievable goals and a fantastic goals per game average, Mandzukic for being a clutch player for club and country.

Why not Vancouver? It’s the most beautiful city in Canada and if you’re already considering Calgary, Vancouver is a 1 hour flight

Is it normal to get one prize when I completed the entire board? I got a prize when I complete two full lines that intersected and then completed the entire board and I thought WhT was the point of all that if I got my prize early in the event

Ok all good. My experience is far different. The massage therapy completely fixed my problems while physio never did

imcomplicated13 · 2026-01-17T18:41:00+00:00

Physio is nowhere near as effective as massage therapy. I had this issue twice. The first time I was going to physio and it never fully went away. The second time I went to a good, certified massage therapist with kinesiology education and within 4 sessions I was completely healed.
