    In Brazil, at one of the most celebrated and wealthy clubs, the boys sleep in shipping containers. In England, they've had rampant pedophelia cases. In Holland, the teenaged boys at Ajax wet their beds from the stress.

    So if the Krafts were to open a residential academy, would that be such a great thing?

    The point exactly. These families give up everything to achieve a dream. Sadly, this includes their lives - burned to death in shipping containers while pampered internet trolls whine about access to only a $35M facility and going to UVM.

    The soccer world in Brazil is populated by a variety of actors, some drawn by glory, but almost all attracted by the chance of breaking out of poverty, maybe even striking it rich.

    There are the boys, of course, and their families. There are the investors and the middlemen like Mr. Stival, who trawl the continent-size country in search of prospects as young as 9. And there are the teams, many in a state of such financial disarray that only the sale of the latest star keeps them afloat.

        NLI was moved to November so most clubs reported their commits in the fall. The Revs did not http://www.ussoccerda.com/College-Commitments-2019

        TDS has almost nothing - the one homegrown, one to Lehigh and a few with nothing listed.

        the 2019 commit list also doesn't have many and that list is sually pretty good for the D1s at this point in the year.

          Didn't look very cloistered. They were all walking around with logos blazing on hats and sweatshirts - notepads in hand. Obviously you've never been to a GA Cup.....guess if your kid isn't playing in one no reason.

            GA Cup is cloistered, not the coaches. No info readily available. No coaching lists. No brackets. No scores. So guarded. It’s super special though.

              Thankfully my son turned the Revs down.

                You should try this new thing called “Google”
                https://www.google.com/search?q=ga+c...d06m;mt;fp;1;;

                Some games will be streamed also.

                  College coaches attending? Based on Revs placements not many stroll by Revs games.

                        POS coaching almost cost us the game. Talented players subbed out while fat donkeys take their place.

                          Actually, he knew he wanted to play D1 soccer at a decent school.

                              Savvy parents use the Revs to parlay better opportunities for their kids.

                                It’s reached the point that GPS is a better opportunity than the Revs if college soccer is the goal.
