[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great thread that mimics lots of the conversation here in general:

Reuben, are you on this forum as well?  Sure seems that way. [/quote]

"If its such a proven system, why aren't there DC United scouts/coaches are every pick up game in the DC area?"

Good question.  :?: [/quote]

The better question raised in that thread is why the national teams of the central and south americas aren't scouting those areas with this supposed amazing talent that is all over the American youth pick-up scene.

The answer is that it just isn't there, outside of a few outliers that make it.   It's a myth, like the tooth fairy and Santa.[/quote]

No, it's not a myth. But I'm pretty sure that NTs recruiting players outside their respective countries is...

The MLS/USSF monstrosity has gotten fat and lazy living off the fruits of "pay to play" for so long they seem to have forgotten how to scout players. They just wait for Mom and Dad to bring them to the tryout, or draft them out of college. BTW, South American teams do scout. They scout all over the place, because finding and developing good players is a huge source of revenue for them when they sell their contracts to Real or Barcelona. And then those players come back to the NT and kick ass.

It's no coincidence that Christian Pulisic developed completely outside the MLS straitjacket. I would love nothing better than to see some European club come to the US and open an academy, recruiting players into their system and developing them either to play or to sell/loan out to another club. If that ever happened, just watch how fast MLS decides to start scouting.

It's absolutely a myth.  The other thread has more discussion on it.[/quote]
