[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hate to break the news but in Europe they use the pay to play model for 80% of the kids. The elite 20% that are identified and placed in academies are free paid for by the club. The other 80% that play the game but don't have the pro potential Pay to play Just like the herds of kids here. The difference is here soccer is a 2nd or 3rd tier sport. In Europe it is the top sport by far. The player pool is so much bigger than here. [/quote]

Yup. The top 20% gets free round the clock soccer training but if they can’t keep up or develop as expected, they get kicked out. Very stressful for these boys. The ones that make it, they get sold/traded just like cattle. [/quote]

Pay-to-play in Europe is on par with our rec programs in terms of cost.   You pay about 200 euros per year or less.   However, they get better quality coaching than the coaching that most our travel programs offer here.  [/quote]

Why do you all lie? Nobody pays in Europe to play. What part do you not get? [/quote]
