I had the luck to meet Carlos Alberto during my time in Brazil. Very nice man. I count no less than 11 passes building up to this all-time great goal from 1970. Brazil's defenders were better dribblers than most, if not all, of today's mids and forwards. Something to aspire to.

I can't believe this. No wonder the USA has failed to qualify for the last 2 Olympics and the last World Cup. Here is "the best MLS academy" and they couldn't recognize a future million dollar+ player, cut him, devastated him, sent him home crying.

People forget that the beauty of soccer comes from the local city or village teams competing against other cities with local players, local heroes. The glitz and glam of CL and EPL has made people forget this and makes today's soccer somewhat hollow and missing something.

Amazing to me that a kid from a tiny farm town in the midwest USA in the 1970's and 80's could share a locker room with players like this. What a dream. Pictured is Zico, other great Flamengo players, and my former coach Fernando Matos.

Youth soccer participation is dropping, probably due to high costs of pay-2-play clubs. I just had a mom message me on Twitter telling me how she was paying $10,000 a year for her son to play in the DA and it wasn't a good experience. Things need to change.

England's Harry Kane actually fouled the Colombian player first. Most fans who never played soccer don't notice this. In reality the Colombian player was just trying to recover and Kane/England created this foul. England couldn't even score a goal other than a Penalty.

The day after this movie premiered on TV in the USA in 1980/81 every kid in town wanted to do the "rainbow"... even more than Pele's Bicycle. Maybe because it was more of an achievable technique. Overnight the rainbow became the "go-to" skill move, at least in my part of the USA.

MLS called him the most overrated player in the league and tried to publicly shame him then benched him then ran him out of the league. Team USA stopped playing him then failed to reach the 2018 World Cup. USA still doesn't have a single player who can do what he can do.

MLS has put pro soccer much further away from the local American player than it was when I was starting out when there was no major pro league in the USA. At least then it was more grassroots and local American kids could get seen, at least.

Americans can learn this. It just takes a coach who's been there to hold the players to a high standard. Problem is that even the best former player coaches quickly forget the high level that they came from in Europe or elsewhere when they have spent a lot of time in the USA.

Tom Brady hardly played during his first 2 years of college football since he was 7th on the depth chart at Michigan. He never quit and was later drafted 199th in the 6th round of the 2000 NFL draft. Now he's won 6 Super Bowls and is still playing at 41.

American soccer has always selected the popular players and coaches and the rich kids over the better players. This made soccer into a popularity contest. Instead, we need to select the best players, which we are still not doing, and worry less about who the coach is.

American soccer is failing. There are only 3 American born players w/ 10 or more goals in the reg season 2018. How pathetic! This is why USA didn't make the last 2 Olympics & the last World Cup. We need a lot of playing time for Americans so they can compete and see who is best.

Convo with a USA soccer fan who thinks it's national teams' job to develop players.I say it's the pro clubs job to do develop players and the national team just selects the best players at the time. This is how it's always been done. Strikers with 2 goals should NOT be called up.

Drafting a player #1 that isn't in the top 10 in any of the stats kills the competitive spirit, making pro soccer in the USA more of a popularity contest than a real sport. We need to reward those who perform the best, not just who are liked the most.

In the USA they expect a soccer player to come into the team fit and ready to carry the team on the player's back. In the rest of the world the clubs carry the players to the first team... European clubs create the players who then fit into the club system unlike in the USA.
