Elessar78 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 we should hire a Bora clone. Play super defensive soccer and take our chances. It's the way to advance in tournament play. Italians do it. It'll be a while before we can realistically expect to play expansive soccer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be a prime example. Coaching and playing are a Worlds apart. Hail. This 1000000x. My understanding of tactics is what allowed me to be a coach with good results and very prepared teams. Not my striker instincts. Though it did come in handy when I worked with attackers.  Just because you understand how to play the game doesn't mean you know how to find the best players for a system you build and can get them to buy into your vision. Jurgen couldn't control his ego let alone his players.

RichmondRedskin88 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) Also US coaches always instilled a American grit and never quit mentality. He spat on it by saying our soccer was bad, our leagues are bad, etc. He spat on everything the program was built on. The program no longer had a identity. We chased players from the MLS for fear of never playing for the US team rather than attempt to raise the leagues quality. When did you ever see US teams give up? We've gotten creamed sure but we never quit.  Hell Bradley got fired for losing a gold cup final after 2-0 lead that was erased by a injury at a critical position. Our previous coaches would be all over our player's asses for laying down. All we heard was we weren't prepared and fans don't understand the game.

daveakl Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 @Elessar78 A few of us in Raleigh looked into buying the railhawks two years ago. I can go into great detail why we didn't and why the MLS sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can credit him for motivating. Which he deserves to take his share of.  But most everything else coaching wise was his assistant's work.

daveakl Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I still owe you guys a story. Â That being said, railhawks are now NCFC and are looking to build a downtown stadium / become part of the MLS in the next 12-18 months. Â Â 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsburySkinsFan Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Is anyone watching the MLS Championship game?  102 minutes in...Giovinco just came off.  Pretty poor possession ball by both teams. Focusing on counter attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frei just did a simple collapse dive on it. The crossbar was the brutal one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
