[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If DA is dropped, then something similar will replace it or soccer is done for in the US.  Having a bunch of mediocre leagues with a mix of good and mediocre players all on one team will not make the top players better.

Having a top player on a team with players who are playing because their parents are forcing them to do "something" physical is not a good model.[/quote]

The problem is US Soccer is trying to develop their system around European systems, but it simply isn't doable. 
The reason all the kids in England come from professional teams' academies is that there are enough professional teams in England that every kid is a short drive away from one of them. 
Out country is simply to big to work that way. 
Having only MLS teams with top academies guarantees that far too many kids will fall through the cracks...it just can't work. [/quote]

This is an excellent point.   There are 21 MLS teams in the US.  Having only 21 pro academies in a country the size of all of Europe is  joke.[/quote]
