The issue with US soccer is that we treat youth soccer different than every other country in the world. We don’t groom young talent. We just pick the kids with the richest parents to play club level and charge the parents an arm and a leg. Every other country finds amazing youth talent and pays them to start playing professionally before they are even teenagers. The pay to play system in this country is what needs to be fixed

That’s where players like Tyreek would come into play. Could you imagine Tyreek as a winger?! The fact of the matter is that it wouldn’t matter if we had KD in goal because no one would ever score on us. They don’t make pure athletes in other countries with 7’ 5” wing spans

And you think in this massive country of ours that even after you take away all those athletes, our next wave of athletes are worse than Uruguay? You think there isn’t, for example, a huge and growing Hispanic population that probably have soccer as their #1 sport? Yeah it makes it harder for us to be the best of the best, but there aren’t excuses for us soccer to be this bad. There is plenty of athletic talent that could and would prioritize soccer.

Not bad for the alleged worst team in Copa, right? |

Probably would have been a rout with some better finishing and a ref who hadn’t been paid off, yes. That’ll play for Marsch’s first month on the job.

We might pay attention if you guys can ever get out of group play in the World Cup.
Key words: We might... |

They’re only one win away from finally ending a tournament out of the red on the goal differential side. Will be interesting to see if they can pull it off.
