[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The crowning jewel of the US Soccer Development Academy[/quote]

Abso-fikin-lutely.

After 10 years of the DA program, the best we can manage is this? An utter and complete embarrassment and should cause (but won't) an examination of why our style of play is always so poor and how the DA is hurting, not helping the development in the USA. [/quote]

The DA has lead to far more US players going overseas to play for better teams.
The fact that US coaching is so bad that it doesn't lead to better National teams isn't on the DA, it's on the coaching. [/quote]

Really? Everything is the product of USSF. 
The coaches
The players
The scouting
The pipeline (DA)
The training
Complete monopoly.

Own the failure.

I assure you, you would own it if it was a sucess.  [/quote]

Owning the failure is pointless if you whine about everything instead of looking at what works, what doesn't, and what needs to be improved.

The obvious truth is that that the US team has done far better in the past with a collection of players without the resume's that the current players have.
In simpler terms, the US players are much better in with their club teams than they are with the National team.

And while everything on your list can be improved, I'd say that the DA program is one of the few bright spots, and every year it's producing more players that are ready to go overseas and make an impact.

But all that is meaningless if the coach thinks starting Zardes gives us the best possibility of success. 
So for me, coaching is the #1 problem with the US team, on all levels, and that's certainly something you can and should blame on the USSF.
