ECNL & DA Nationals Results

[Anonymous]

I believe it goes back to the socialist model for US Soccer discussed earlier. MLS runs teams like the NFL, NBA, etc. US will never develop top level talent with that model.

When it was started, kids were 14. They first group that went through should be 26, 25, 24, 23, 22.....

We should could use the help to beat some of these tiny island nations with 1/4 the resources.

You seriously have reading comprehension issues. The USSF and US Soccer have major issues. The DA is the least of the problems. The USMNT has Altidore and Bradley still starting and playing meaningful minutes. Are they a DA problem?

Dont get mad. Learn to have a deeper understanding of the issues.

USSF has blessed their program (USSDA) to be the gold standard of youth development in this country. The DA was supposed to produce all these great players. Well, where are they?

USSF controls the DA, the scouts, the YNT, the money and the power.

Where is the return on investment?

How about this headline:

The rot in US soccer goes much deeper than its failure to qualify for the World Cup

[Anonymous]

US girl soccer players dont even respect the USMNT.

Because we just can't stop selecting kids based on a stop watch, scale and a tape measure. Deep down we still believe that what we do for football and basketball translates to soccer. We pick athletes first and soccer players second.

That would actually work if those same athletes we choose for football and basketball were trained in soccer from the same young age as they are basketball and football.

How many football players are chosen at 8 years old?

Not sure why the sigh. This is most of the reason the women are faring so much better. The USWNT gets a bigger fraction of elite athletes than USMNT does. They train in much the same system.

This says more about the athletic weakness of USWNT opponents (and cultural bias ex-US discouraging women from playing) than the athletic inferiority of the USMNT team. The latter used to be one of the most fit in the world. The rest of the world has caught up on nutrition and optimal fitness training. It simply shows more in men’s soccer because far fewer women play ex-US as percentage of pop vs US.

How many football players are chosen at 8 years old?

It’s not that they are chosen and trained at 8, but that far more 8 year old boys in the US are playing football and basketball at recess, at home, in the basement, watching games on TV and following and trying to emulate their favorite players. Soccer is nowhere near as popular and has a much smaller player pool of natural players. Soccer is not part of the US culture for boys. For girls though soccer is probably the #1 sport of choice in the US. My daughter can name all of the USWNT players and has a Alex Morgan Jersey. My son, who also plays travel soccer, watches football and basketball on TV and can name every QB and wears Lebron James’ jersey.
