| If you're beating top flight teams 2 age groups up, then you're Europe material. |
Slight counter to #4: During non-COVID years the Dallas Cup regularly features European club teams at the same age level who also draw or lose to American sides. And yes, these clubs bring their best players (same with the South American sides that come in). I’m guessing by your tone you don’t know these kids. Neither do I. But it’s awfully sad to hear how bitter you are over a group of kids winning a tournament. Maybe focus on what this means for these kids, on and off of the field. Not everything has to be about standing in the world or pay to play. If that is what you think soccer is all about, I feel sorry for you. |
For #4, you do understand American players cannot go to Europe until after their 18th birthday, right? To go before that, you need an EU passport. There’s always one of you in every thread… |
This is their website- https://www.futuresoccerclub.org/ It looks like they are Lanham based, but their website is not very good. They do seem to have active social media pages though. It's too bad that they don't appear to have younger teams or I would love to sign my son up! |
Oh boy this is sad... you can go on a trial to many academies in Europe prior to your 18th birthday without an EU passport. This includes most nations that make up the Power 5 leagues. |
If you're Europe material, you'd be in Europe. |
