Message: [QUOTE="kingtidge, post: 3042161, member: 994"] Soccer and the youth development system in this country is a sordid mess with all the pay-to-play travel teams and the priority of monetizing the system over developing the best talent. And the fed is an incompetent mess. Even tho we've finally developed a sustainable pro league, the benefits we should be seeing in developing our own country's talent pool are not being realized. Don Garber will tell you otherwise, but the proof is in the results (or lack thereof). MLS has successfully helped other concacaf national teams improve, but the US - not really. The 2002 USMNT is still the high water mark for team talent and that was almost 20 years ago now. Anyways, offtopic soccer rant over. LOL. [/QUOTE]
