[quote=Anonymous]Politics. Our system is riddled with politics and pay-to-play from the bottom to the top. It’s ridiculous. Only “certain” kids get pushed from a young age and passed from word of mouth up the chain even when they have fallen off in ability/skill/play/speed. Late developers after age 13/14/15 aren’t looked at again. They won’t be on the top teams or the D1 recruits or in the USYNT camps. Coaches look for “names” over what they see directly in front of them. We also have almost no scouts and the vast majority of coaches don’t know what they are looking at, how to develop players or in it for the long haul. Our system is so broken. And our women got a 30-year start. US women were playing soccer decades before the rest of the world. Soccer was a man’s sport Internationally. Girls weren’t even allowed to play and now these other countries are catching up and will soon surpass the US women too because they have the same sh@t system as the boys. [/quote]
