Onderwerp: [NT] USA NT - Discussion

Simple… just ban these accounts. It was probably some Pole who created them to tarnish my image.

Even more than you do it yourself? Is that possible?

Except for the small group of Poles who invade other forums to attack other users… no one attacks me. About you, the story is different.

Yup, in USA, you can see it in the country stats. Probably another attempt to falsify the elections.

One admin is checking in here, I wonder if he'll check it..

I had already warned about these accounts here on the forum. The moderator is alert to possible fraud.

I really wish they would figure out who is doing this nonsense.

I mean, we could put a 70 day delay on voting in elections, but honestly if someone is a big enough loser to do it now, I'm not sure how much help making them wait 70 days will be. It'll be something, though.

Moving forward we need to figure out how to ensure election integrity. Seems like there is a lot of bad blood here in the forum because of what happened in the elections.

Also in order for us to judge performance of the national coaches we, as a US Sokker community, need to first figure out and agree on what our priorities are, what do we expect from our national coach. We need a transparent guidelines so at the end of the season we can hold our national coach accountable while being fair about it.

We need to know where we are and where are we heading. Lets accurately assess current state of our NT, figure out what we should realistically expect from our team in terms of results and growth.

In order to grow we also need to be open to constructive criticism, which should be welcomed on this forum. If someone is passionate enough about our National Team performance they need be allowed to express their constructive criticism in respectful maner. This is not a place for personal attacks.

Now is the perfect time to reach out and gather most active users, that have extensive knowledge of the game and exchange ideas, this way we can "hire" coach that is best fit for our NT.

We really need some structure here.

What do you guys think?

And just want to be as clear as possible. I want to discuss ideas, not managers.

I know that not everyone agrees, but I think it is important to continue investing in these 24-26 year old players, as they will have the necessary quality to attack 2nd place in Qualification. With the players who lost to Nicaragua, we won't win anything. The only way to win is to be one step ahead. These players playing a little earlier is important for the project. In Portugal, I also did that… and in the following Qualification Portugal came in 1st place in the group.

Regarding the ranking, next season we will begin to reap the fruits of this strategy.

And when you say “continue investing in these 24-26 yo players“ what do you exactly mean?

I guess he means to continue their training.

As a club coach or by giving them extra play time in NT?

"Moving forward we need to figure out how to ensure election integrity."

unfortunately, this is out of our hands. We are a mostly forgotten country with zero staff members at all.
