[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Awful. It's the feeder system here. The best kids don't even make it into our system in the first place. Pay-to-play and politics has been at the heart of US soccer and US Youth Club soccer for DECADES. I see it all around me. The same rosters. The kids with great potential in their youth walking off after the Clubs focus on 10-15 kids out of 100 kids in an age group. Ignore the rest. Coaches that understand very little about development---or if they do they need to show 'wins' from the earliest ages or get canned...so they go with the biggest, most physical kids before these kids have even hit puberty.[/quote] The OP understands what went wrong with the Olympic qualifying campaign. If you think we don’t have the players to qualify and do well in the tournament itself, you have paid no attention to US men’s soccer over the last few years. [/quote]
