    The rule is only for MLS academy teams not for Westside. NO money for you Westside.
    They’ve suckered many a parent out of money with that dumpster fire though

      The Rubin case has nothing to do with MLS or today's ruling. A dutch pro club signed Rubin when he turned 18--since it was an international transfer, per FIFA rules the youth clubs that trained him (Westside and IMG) are entitled to training compensation.

      Now, it might be the case that they lose at FIFA--FIFA might say, essentially, that since the US hasn't been participating in the solidarity payment system (particularly MLS), that no club in the US can claim solidarity payments. MLS' decision might change this going forward.

      Or, it might be the case that Westside's case is dismissed for lack of paperwork, as cases about Deuce and Bradley were.

      Or FIFA might rule in the favor of Westside, Crossfire Premier, and other clubs who still have pending cases before the dispute committee.

        Whether that is right or fair, is another question--I tend to think that TC should only apply if training is subsidized--but FIFA makes no such distinction.

        And Cony has long been a professional thorn in the side of the soccer establishment. :)
        Nothing says anti-establishment like a Timbers' tracksuit.
