Enough this pay to play crap. US needs to ruthlessly clean house from the top to local level. Rather have less kids playing but quality than this mess.

The DAP has really had a positive effect on the men's NT. Please do away with the GDAP so the women's side doesn't meet the same fate. USSF is an absolute clown show. I wouldn't follow them down the street.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post -

You give a silly own goal up.
You then watch the other team hit a brilliant strike.
Then you have the two top teams in your group lose to the bottom teams and suddenly, you go from 3rd to 5th.
I remember the time when the USMNT was considered a 3rd world country, from the perspective of soccer.Comment

Us should start a develop academy for boys. One that is affordable because it is subsidized by the us soccer federation. They should have standards and the focus should be on development and not on playing games. That way, a decade latter, they will compete with the best in the world.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Oh...that's right....we already did that!Comment

So disappointing. Everything that could have gone wrong tonight, did. So now what? Who should takeover as coach and why? Let's start with that.Comment

We face the same problem like many National teams of past who give seniority to certain players, sorry but Altidore is not a National team/World Cup player, the BPL didn't want him so that tells you something, i mean the guy couldn't score for months at a time so how the hell would he be able to do it now.
But honestly i feel sympathy for Pulisic, he knows he's gonna have to deal with the same group for another 4 years and Im sure he's wondering how the hell do i get out of this mess without Insulting my country, so in a nutshell Bradley and gang aint going no where.
The only thing we can work on his having our U17s and Up play overseas for better training.
Playing MLS Is definitely not working , we can blame the coach , the fields and everything else that comes to mind but you cant expect a 3 legged horse to win a 4 legged race.Comment

Except we really DID NOT do that. We just promoted pay for play soccer bandits like the BS guy to help him further feed his bank acct and ego, in the end just perpetuating the same corrupt system DAP was supposed to address and correct.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I don't know why people think the Academy is the problem, if the point of argument is the pay to play then I agree but in terms of training it's doing fine and it's much better than what we were doing say 10 years ago. If anyone is connecting the MNT and it's failures to Academy then your sadly mistaken.
It's a no brainer that college play is impeding our process and along with MLS salarys being low to attract talent over college.
If the USSF could fund talented youth players before or after HS then Europe would be the key but MLS is not that route.Comment

I forgot to mention that the Academys goal is to pipeline the MLSComment

Ah...so college is to blame. Damn us players wanting a free education, the nerve of them. Doesn't seem to hurt us basketball, football and baseball. Other than the real freaks, most of the top talent goes to college in those sports, although some sports a lot less years than others I will give you that. Bottom line is the best athletes in the us don't play soccer and the us can't properly identify, coach and develop the athletes they do getOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

The future is in the growth of our pro system which has an incentive to invest in youth players. Also top players can go to European based youth academies (free to play)- as many are doing now.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
If you are an elite player at 14 and you are still paying for soccer, you are in the wrong place or you really are not good enough.
Pay to play is for college bound kids whose families have the dollars to spend. BS is the model club for this.Comment
