"If you want to see what’s wrong with U.S. Soccer in a single image, just go out to one of these fancy suburbs some weekend and spot the coaches of the fancy club teams strutting on the sidelines. Half of them are carrying themselves like they’re Pep Guardiola. I mean, the arrogance. It’s unbelievable. "

Yes, a thousand times over. Coaches that think they're amazing because they have a high license and win tournaments.
All while joysitcking their players the entire game, guaranteeing they won't learn how to think for themselves, or to play creatively. [/quote]

And the club coach at U14 that told he would never make it as a pro because he was too small.  What a douche.

He turned out 6’4”!  Priceless.  A lot of normal boys don’t hit growth spurt until 16-18.

That's such BS, I'm sorry to hear. Other than a couple of our players, my team is the smaller one on the field around 90% of the time and we routinely beat the bigger teams on headers, 50/50 balls, bodying, and overall tackling. As a country we tend to place far too much emphasis on size and speed, when the key attribute we should be looking for is technical ability.[/quote]

Why are you arguing the point when you are agreeing that physicality is too much of an issue? Read the article. That's what Geoff is saying and really your anecdotal evidence about a single team in an area with hundreds of them really doesn't wash.

Geoff is correct in saying US players need to be going to Europe. Period. MLS doesn't do it, DA doesn't do it. [/quote]
