Reddit is batshit crazy central!!

I've been a long time poster on reddit/ligue1 which is a mixture of French and English language posters. I will post in both languages because I'm reasonably fluent in French and can also get by in English....lol....

Well I used to be in the top 1% posters on reddit/ligue1 but lately I've been giving it a miss because of the hostilities on there..

Make one little misdemeanour of a comment and then the pile-ons are off the scale!!

It just seems to attract the precious people of the internet....
 
Lupi is commenting on the podcast. You have to turn off the spam filter to see them



He thinks he was banned for being against the national curriculum :ROFLMAO:. Now I know mods could do better in explaining forum rules, but criticizing the national curriculum isn't one of them :ROFLMAO:

I had forgotten about him.

Reading his comments does remind me of one point that was made. I think it was Daniel (is he related to Zane at Bulls?) who suggested all the academies should play the same way for the benefit of the NT. I completely disagree with that and I don't think that happens anywhere in the world. Club sides all have their own identity and what they think works best. I'm sure some of those concepts are similar but to get them to do exactly the same thing is not realistic.

Yeah im skeptical of a national style. If nothing else its hard to learn a possession based style if you dont at least have some top teams who are good at defense

It seems belgium are a good example of a country that implemented a national style to be fair

Japan would arguably be considered the gold standard when it comes to implementing a national style though because their coaching philosophy carries over across both their men's and women's national team setups from age grade through senior level and their style of play is based on a set of fundamentals whereas Popovic and Montemurro are given free rein to implement their own tactical systems for the Socceroos and Matildas whilst the fundamentals like playing with cohesion and discipline are not there.

Yeah I didnt mention Japan because they expanded their league system at the same time so its hard to seperate credit

We have a similar challenge in australia when people talk the national curriculum. In the last 20 years there have been so many changes it is hard to know what is causing what. Nyl and nst i can measure tho by looking at many countries. If i find at least a dozen countries that introduced a national style and the year they did it i could estimate the effect
 
Getting used to some people who've changed their profile pic. Of course I could just read the name but many posters without a pic have very similar colouring that you've got to discern who it actually posting of you're a visual type. If a few more users can add a pic then there'd be some nice variation when scrolling. Those with the last Australian kit as their profile pic have saved me a lot of electricity as the glow lights up my room.

A rigid national style would be limiting. You need to be flexible. I don't think identifying and pursuing a national identity and strengths is bad though.

For e.g. I think Australian teams should be aggressive. You can be aggressive in different ways. Pressing aggressively. Countering aggressively etc. Theres still flexibility there.

I think Australian teams should have positive attacking intent. That doesn't need to be tika taka or 5 players forward. That could still fit within Popa-ball say we choose to counter aggressively and do it more by design.

Theres still flexibility there to fit that within a defensive system, while acknowledging that need and characteristic.

Even if we identify and pursue a national identity with regards to the tactical system the fundamentals of playing with cohesion and discipline still need to be there otherwise the national team setups will end up lacking direction and it'll only be more detrimental for the Socceroos and Matildas if the fundamentals are not there.
