    Spot on. That's my take on it as well. USSF has been a disaster since day 1. If USSF was serious about making American soccer better it would push to have its best players overseas in any of the leagues over there where they would be exposed to serious competition and hopefully improve. Instead USSF focuses on MLS and its DA program - both because they generate money for the people in charge. Its just a business, and revenue, not quality of product, is what matters.
    So what you are saying is we should play in other peoples sandbox because they have better sand. how is this going to help US soccer as a whole. If what you are saying would happen we should just quite the sport all together in the US. Anyone who wants your kids to play soccer should just pack up and move to Europe because the USSF doesn't care about winning. If they did we would have all of our players playing in other countries. Instead of building our own league training Coaches and building a program that works in other countries..... Great argument Retard!

      And I disagree that they need to learn a lot before the instruction is meaningful, or they can use it. Learning should be iterative. They learn a skill, and then put it to use in a game and learn to be competitive with that new skill. After they are competitive with that skill, you teach them another skill, and the process repeats. If they aren't winning with their new skills, then they don't understand it well enough and need to work on it more until they do. And as they play, the skills that you're not focusing on continue to grow.

      The games should be their laboratory to learn to WIN with the skills they've learned. Because that's ultimately what the skills are for. Skills are taught to the kids so they can use those skills to help them win. So why not emphasize that?

      In my experience, when kids are winning, they are very motivated to learn new skills because winning feels good and they want to keep experiencing that feeling. If kids are losing, they lose motivation. They play soccer to have fun. If it's not fun, it's just work. 1000 touches to a motivated kid are more beneficial than 1000 touches to an unmotivated kid.
      2nd is the first loser.
      I love coaches who stand and scream the whole game. If they did not learn in before kickoff it is to late.

        Substitute win with challenge and you will be correct.

            Thanks. And on behalf of all the mentally challenged kids out there, I'd like to especially thank you for making their handicap and insult. Very classy. Take a look at reality. If you want to learn to become a great chef, do you go to a cooking school here, or go to the Cordon Blue school in Paris? The simple fact of the matter is that Brooks, Yeldin, and a host of other players play overseas for a reason - they want exposure to better teams and better players. Your argument about making America's players better is non-sensical - someone has to provide the competition and training, and with USSF being the cluster f**ck it is, the only solution is to train players and coaches overseas and have them bring what the learned back and teach it to our kids, while at the same time sending our younger players overseas to face better competition.

              The U.S. has gone to the same place Germany did after the 2000 WC (Double Pass). It takes time to make changes and the argument is not valid if you want to ship every 14 year old off to Europe if they have a glimmer of talent. At one point the federation needs to take control of the soccer in this country and build it from the bottom up. Right now we are worried about where we are in the world rankings. when we should be worried about is who is Coaching Cristiano, Lionel, Paul and Arjen Here at home. If MLS is going to be a world competitor for Talent they better start paying for that talent. 70% of EPL is not native to England. I like the fact that MLS is trying to keep it home grown but to fill the seats you might have to pay like China. We need to find a home for our players from age 19-25 the NCAA is doing soccer no favors. The average age of 29.52 seems old to me for a national team by the time WC they would of been over 30. I know I have great math skills.

                The real issue is, us, the parents. Face it, not a single poster's kid will play professionally or for the national team. Stop believing the bs your coach and club tells you about you having the next messi and make sure you kid is having fun.

                      When the sandbox is filled with the neighbor cat's sh*t then yes you should go play in someone else's sandbox. If the US system and pro teams can't develop talent the way they can overseas, then go overseas. Otherwise we'll be stuck in an endless cycle of mediocrity. We can still continue to build things here, but clearly it's a long process. Pro players not can't wait another 20 years for the US to maybe finally get it right.

                        Maybe it is right? Lets see what happens in the next 4 years when the u20's and u17's are the ones qualifying for the WC. They can't do any worse than the geriatric team we had on the field this go around.

                          Without big changes in leadership and coaching, Tim Howard will be in the net in Qatar with a walker and half the team will be on scooters
