[quote=Anonymous]I think the initial point of the video is that tournaments are expensive and wear out the older kids is true. It happens in other sports too and there's some good articles on Private equity companies buying up all the cheer leading tournaments and jacking up prices. I know my older kids who've play 11v11 are dead after a tournament and the whole team has a limp for a day or 2. Part of that is the coach not bringing in other kids from the clubs lower teams to help out and the desire to play the top players longer to win. But US soccer is doing fine. It could be better but the men's national team is perfectly mediocre and the women's team is the best 1 or 2 in the world. The level of play in the MLS could certainly improve but it's really our 5th major sporting league. Imagine some of the NFL wide-receivers and defensive backs had played soccer growing up? Travis Hunter would have been Messi if he was kicking a ball instead of catching it. [/quote]
