football, GREAT teams overcome these obstacles, GREAT teams
do not crumble with 3 or 4 goal leads, GREAT teams
do not concede 3 + goals in 40 mins REGULARLY, GREAT teams average more than one tackle every 90 mins, GREAT teams don't need more 7 clear cut chances to score, united have
academy players in defence, in fact our defensive players are 15x better but VAN GAAL will get a result, united have had an injury list just as long if not longer than ours but VAN GAAL will get a result, united have just gone through a managerial shift but VAN GAAL will get a result, so why on earth are united in the title race and not arsenal?

doing in limiting full - contact practices, and the Sports Legacy Institute recently proposed be considered at the youth and high school level in its Hit Count program), teaching
football players how to tackle without using their head (as former pro
football player Bobby Hosea has long advocated), changing the rules (as the governing body for high school hockey in Minnesota
did in the aftermath of the Jack Jablonski injury or USA Hockey
did in banning body checks at the Pee Wee level), or giving serious consideration to whether athletes below a certain age should be playing tackle
