- highly trained coaches teaching kids from 5 years and up, not just as they get older
- professional clubs in the top 200 major metro markets, not 35, that can afford to run programs
- a unified pyramid system with promotion/relegation not leagues A-M
- smaller geography/less travel
- affordable soccer that doesn't shut kids out
- ability for clubs to profit from developing players
Let me know when you can make that happen. Until then Germany can continue to kick azz because they have all of that. So does pretty much all of Europe, Central and South America and increasingly Asia.

Rest of the world can use American resources.
Americans have no access to the rest of the world's resources.
Its called Socialism 101. We are too strong in general, the rest of the world wants some ...
We are sick of it, time for some pay back.
Get rid of the rainbow warriors in US Soccer.
This is the only way to fix the problem, start at the top, then work way up from the grass roots via nationalism.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostMost Americans don't care about soccer. They've grown up rooting for football, basketball and baseball teams. Many never played it except maybe in gym class. As the sport gains in popularity and more kids play that is slowly changing, but it will take a very long time to build a culture even close to the other three sports. College coaches and professional teams are in it to win it - winning means they keep their jobs, puts butts in seats, sells swag, brings in ad dollars and sponsorships. If international players are better than US players then they will be selected because it helps them accomplish those goals. It isn't their job to master societal changes.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYes, and part of that W T F they are doing is using their valuable expertise/infrastructure to develop their OWN players, instead of other countries players who will come back and hurt them later on.
Please wake up. Time to stop being losers. American exceptionalism! If we can be the first to put a man on the moon we can come to dominate world soccer. You people have to stop being so dumb first. Love it or leave it!

I can understand professional clubs bringing in foreigners, but I think colleges are doing a disservice to the American player. The only reason college coaches bring in foreign players is because their counterparts are doing it and they feel the need to compete. But if this was not allowed or limited then they would be on even ground again. College soccer is not a pathway to the pros for the most part and should be viewed as an extracurricular for the students that are already wanting to go there not kids imported in.
