The Revolution Academy needs to make some changes.

American soccer players are "free" after they are 18 (Article 19) unless they have access to a EU or South American passport AND the family moves for non-football related reasons. (Google Ben Lederman and his time at La Masia).

MLS DA players who leave for an overseas club have a claim for a transfer fee. Getting paid might take some legal work but given the investment made, it's not unreasonable. That's why the Revs get all fired up about players going to trials.

All this assumes that US players are wanted by clubs in Europe. Certainly some boys near the border have generated interest from Liga MX but show us the names of boys being scooped up now?

If you can't keep up with the word salads, who needs the English lessons? I even used little words for you but if you get stumped use Google (no one will know). Also, move your lips while sounding out the big words if that helps you.

200+ pages of folks talking out of their asses and you're getting all worked up? You can't even tell if you're being trolled.

I agree with the earlier poster. "Gibberish"

So you're saying: 1) the Revs do care about player development so that they can 2) promote them to the first team and that oh by the way, they care so much to hide their gems that they would stunt their NT opportunities from the 3) USSF scouts of which there are vast quantities covering fields from seat to shining sea amongst the 330 million population? You should recognize that USSF is stretched way too thin - that's obvious to the casual observer.

Or that it would be easier to sign a player from a less economically developed country to take a 1 in 20 chance (lol, 1 in 1000, but I'll keep the numbers low so you can stick with fingers and toes to count) on a professional soccer career. Or do you think they'll jump right next to Neymar at PSG? No, they'll be Uzbekistan or someplace you couldn't find on Google Maps.

And 18? Doesn't take Cruyff to know that 15-18 are the crucial developmental years, and that's where the Rest of World youth teams separate from the US. Hint - it's not b/c of physical prowess, but because soccer IQ stalls out here. See Schweinsteiger's comments about the quality of play in MLS (and I think he was trying to be kind, or at least as indirect as a German can be).

Scratch this, lol.

Non US academy soccer is nothing like USSDA. The interest in US players is low. The Revs have nothing to worry about. Let them play in Spain for the summer. Gees!

God you are stupid. Not only did you miss my point but you carry on with commonly known information. You sound like a newbie here? Are you? If so, that's okay.

The essence of Rev DA
Long-term fans point to Heaps' persistence of building around Lee Nguyen in the center despite his drop in form since his MVP-nominated 2014, while at the same time wasting the potential resource of Kelyn Rowe by pushing him to left-back, as examples of overextended patience on the one hand and lack of development on the other.

Will Rowe go to Portugal too?

Nemeth would be a huge pick-up for the Revs. Quality player!

Luckily the Revs academy has the luxury of a 1st team trainwreck to take some of the heat off of them.

Which of these players listed are American-born, raised in America, and scouted to join an overseas club in their early to mid-teens? From the bios, most seem to be dual-nationals, didn't develop here in the States, or moved after college. Matt Miazga and Pulisic come closest, but Miazga holds a Polish passport and moved after signing with the RBNY first team. Pulisic holds a Croatian passport.

For a big country, that's a short list.

Revolution Youth rosters announced. Bolts still waiting

Revs roster is out. My God, what a sad sack group of players. Like someone posted previously, region's B players.
