Diagonal football is good football
<[...] la diagonalità diventa un modo per passare da un corridoio all’altro sfruttando l’orientamento del corpo “aperto” del ricevente, così che lo stesso possa ricevere sul piede più lontano e guardare avanti>

This isn’t a “reform”; it’s a hostile takeover. The US kidnaps Maduro, installs a puppet, and suddenly the country’s assets are on the auction block for Western corporations. This is the textbook definition of a neo-colonial sellout.

Lula victory speech:
"We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate.
We cannot have monstrously huge corporations earning millions & billions, paying no taxes to this country & trying to steer this country's election results."

This article from The Guardian caught my attention (see first comment).
Norway may not have found the perfect model, but its approach raises questions worth discussing.
In Norway, there are no official league tables, trophies or rankings for children under the age of 13. The philosophy is built around participation, enjoyment and giving children the freedom to develop at their own pace.
This week, Norway reached the World Cup quarter-finals after beating Brazil.
This alone doesn't prove this approach is the reason for their success or that we should all follow, but it's worth exploring.
Football development is far more complex than one policy. However, it does raise an interesting question.
Should we spend less time worrying about who wins at nine and more time thinking about how we keep children enjoying sport until they are 13, 16 and beyond?
Across many countries, a significant proportion of children stop playing organised sport during their early teenage years.
If delaying league tables, trophies and early pressure helps more children stay involved for longer, is that something worth considering? Or do competition and results need to come earlier?
Where do you stand on this?

Ik zou mensen zo gunnen dat ze hun haat-oogkleppen afzetten en gewoon genieten van wat ze zien. Dit is bijzonder. Laat het los, man.
