Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI am not original poster but I think Oregon boys were fortunate in that Timbers have a connection to Bayern. No way they are 'Team USA' but they are representing USA in the tourney I believe. Teams from other countries did win some kind of national tourney... At least they did last year. So the brackets are set up by country. I believe.

It's similar to the Manchester United tournament that has now unfortunately ended. Local teams weren't usually very competitive and there haven't been US players at the level you mention, but several youth national team players went through that tournament. It's fun for the kids to say "I played against so and so."

But I never followed the progress of the U.S. winner over in England. I guess you are saying that the U.S. team never faired that well.

Who You know
I have no kid in this race but I see the boys that were picked and its all about who you know not what you can do. Until that side of the problem gets fixed you will always be a third world country when it comes to soccer.
Soccer in the world concept is working class there boys here are upper middle class and don't know how to dig in deep to win with their hearts.
I'm disappointed with how money runs and ruins the beautiful game here in the US. I once heard the parent of a player who was a good player say well he isn't going to earn a living playing this game. Overseas there are parents who would love their boy to make a living at this game until we feel the same way we will always be open to the parents with money that can dictate team selection.
