I've coached my twin boys who are now 16, and currently playing in the US Olympic Development Program. Have you a problem with that? What a strange little man you must be.

No.
And this is the problem. Both are mutually exclusive to most of our support.

Scrappy, ugly, pragmatic winning for an u13 team
Dear god
As for the question, I don't think it's black and white. I want a team that wins, obviously. But I also want a team who actually wants the ball to some extent! Like it or not crowds for the last few campaigns have been good because Ireland have been more entertaining to watch. I find that far more casual football fans are watching games. That's important too. The good news is, I think, eventually, we can have both!

The US Olympic Development Program chooses the top players from various regions and states across the United States to compete in regional and national tournaments. The top players from these events are then chosen to compete at various age levels for the national team. But sure, let's have a go at the father who volunteers his time to coaching youth soccer. What a miserable lot of small minded people some of you sadly are.

Cheers Brad Bobley, I'm sure your brand of anti-football goes down great with the 13 year olds parents.

EIRE need to go ultra MON esque except more extreme.
11 man camped on the 6 yard box making it almost impossible to break down. LEt the opposition wear themselves out shooting into a human wall for 90 mins. We would draw every game and get 10 points.

That was Trap's modus operadi was it not? He took one look at our players and thought f**k me, they're dog sh*t!

Think he had trust in Duff, McGeady, Doyle and Keane. It wasn’t completely bypass midfield under trap, we did get the wingers involved. But we completely gave up the centre

There are lots of poster on here who coach underage kids and any coach who puts results ahead of the kids enjoy the game and improving their skill set would be rightly ridiculed, especially when if they had the same lack of self awareness that you appear to have.

Trapattoni's tactics were to use the two central midfielders as a block for central defence, which meant that any creativity had to come from the wide players

Amusingly enough, this thread began when I questioned a poster who was critical of how our team played in their memorable 2-1 victory over Germany. Baldie clearly prefers style points over actual points. I don't. In terms of youth soccer in the US, fundamentals and technical skills are very much stressed, yet speed and athleticism often rule the day, typically leading to a more direct style and approach. And apologies if this offends your idealistic nature, but results do matter, even in high level youth soccer. If your team is not successful, the top players and parents will quickly seek out a winning alternative. Right or wrong, that's the way it is.
That will be my last comment on the matter. Enjoy the day.
