[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Griezmann was playing for a local club, but was unsuccessfully trying to make it into one of the pro academies.  When Griezmann was 14 or so, he was spotted by Real Sociedad's scout and was offered a one-week trial in Spain.  He was offered a spot in Real's academy and developed his game outside France.  French youth development system is one of the best in the world, but even French academies make mistakes in assessing youth talent.  You are probably thinking about Gareth Bale who was almost cut by Southampton academy in his teenage years, until the coach who discovered him intervened.  [/quote]

I file this under the MJ category, it was passed up on the Varsity squad  in highschool and look he turned out.  Let's talk about all the other players that didn't make the cut.  Get real folks. [/quote]

Cannot agree more. Even if rejected by some European academies, Griezmann was considered a very good player at 13 and would likely have been accepted in any youth team in the US. How we got from ODSL to him in two posts is beyond me.    [/quote]
