Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 5095314, member: 1674"] I do think this is swiftly improving, but it kinda comes with the territory of MLS not being the premier league (no pun intended) in the world right now. I would also say a lot of guys in South America for example may have played some youth football locally, but once they were discovered, they made the move to Europe just like our guys do. A lot of our guys are also dual-citizens at this point where they didn't grow up in America in the first place. Having said that, of the 17 guys that played in last night's game, 10 played in America either in their youth career or early in their pro career. I believe all 7 of the others never really lived in America so it wouldn't have made much sense for them to have developed here. MLS is still sort of getting their youth programs established so I expect this will improve moving forwards. [/QUOTE]
