[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where do the best NFL players get made? Or NBA players? High school and college, where the level of competition is unmatched anywhere else in the world.

That doesn't work in soccer, no matter what Don Garner and his lackeys at USSF believe. Nobody else does it like that. We need to invest in a proper alternative. That, specifically, is what needs to happen.

So now USSF “lackeys” believe that soccer should follow the football and basketball models, where unmatched competition reigns starting with high school??

This is why they created DAs with high school soccer disallowed.  SMH.

College is the destination for most US players for cultural and economic reasons, as has been pointed out numerous times here.  Parents and kids know that they need a good degree from a good school; an MLS contract doesn’t touch a wisp of an NFL/NBA/MLB/NHL contract, and European soccer is nearly impossible to crack for most American players.

We are directing the college path, not USSF “lackeys.”[/quote]

As functional developmental stage college soccer stunts development regardless of the intent of a majority of players who participate in college soccer. Most college football and basketball players never turn pro either but we do not question the college game as the pathway for those who do end up going pro.
