Dear Jason Russell,
After being bombarded with your KONY 2012 crusade, I have no choice but to respond to your highly inaccurate, offensive, and harmful propaganda. I realized I had to respond in hopes of stopping you before you cause more violence and deaths to the Acholi people (Northern…
FC Barcelona tactics under Pep Guardiola (by allasFCB2)
This is an incredibly clear-sighted breakdown. I feel like I spend a lot of time talking about how tactical soccer is here in America, versus strategic.
