This whole "what is wrong with US soccer" trip so many rant about here is so insane and such a red herring. Do people in Uruguay talk about what is wrong with Uruguayan basketball?

They would if they wanted great basketball in Uruguay. But they have great soccer. Your point?

The biggest problem the FA faces right now is that English coaches are to concerned about winning and is taking a back seat to development.where are their
In Spain and France it about they way they play. Coaches don't get fired in Spain if they loose they get fired if the kids don't develop and play good soccer.
You will not find one player in the world that doesn't,t want win..that common sense. The problem becomes at what cost do you as a parent,coach or club want to win at the expense of development.
Our dap model is based on English school of excellense.

Here are some feed back on how things are going
of cameras’.

'The academy product is flawed,’ says Mark Warburton, assistant academy manager and the architect of the new model, based on one at Ajax in Holland. 'It involves hours and hours of driving, hours of standing outside watching the boys with the rain lashing down, getting home at half nine or 10, eating meals in the car, being behind on homework, and always being generally tired, because that is what it takes to be a pro footballer – it’s always been that way. But it’s not that way in Holland, or France. So if it works there and we’re buying their players, doesn’t that tell you that we’ve got to change the way we do things

Youth coaches sure do get fired in Spain and France if their teams don't win. More accurately, if the team doesn't perform in games as well as the ability of the players indicates, the coach will be fired. There are plenty of guys who want to coach - it is very competitive. The youth teams are in divisions and for every club, working up to higher divisions is the goal - its best on winning. I don't know where this nonsense about winning not being important in europe is coming from. They want to win, and they care a lot about it. The difference is they know that to win they have to play good soccer..
