The DA is too exclusive, dominated by our "Pro" MLS clubs who are run by little more than local soccer yahoos who now call themselves professionals because they work for an MLS club. They don't do anything better. Yes, it's not pay to play model. It still finds all their players from the pay to play system. Coaching isn't nearly good enough. Not playing HS doesn't make the kids better. It is still just another alternative. Focus is all wrong.
This has been a long time coming. The USMNT has looked terrible for a while. They deserved to fail. While DA is not the problem, it epitomizes the problem and shows we are on the wrong path. MLS is just bad soccer. Our top players need to get out of the country and play in better leagues against better players.
It is easy to rant on this topic. Our system is broken in the US and headed on the wrong path. Until their is change at the top, we will continue to go backwards.
