ussf is a joke. Hope Hope wins it!
Arena - talk about a kleptocracy.
lack of training - 99% DAs train 4-6 hours/week. That's ok for American football but the worlds most popular game. Training is paramount to success.
Then there's the issue of the MLS franchises - no relegation. Trivial investments yet first access to YNT attendees.
System is absurd and not in an entertaining fashion

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostJack Harrison is a good example. Best kid to play around here this decade. Grew up playing in England. Played briefly at Berkshire and Black Rock. Went to Wake Forest, about as good as it gets in college, then GA to the MLS for a bit. Now he moves to the EPL. Where did he get trained, England or the US? Some of both. Or did it matter? He would have been a star regardless. Had he been born in Boston he may have tried hockey or lax.
