[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Politics has more to do with USYNT than anyone here could imagine. I was hopeful it would get better but is only getting worse by the day. [b]I wish I could post why.[/b] Just know it’s awful and so many players are being robbed of opportunity. The only age group that is truly legit are u19 and U23. Even the USWNT has players that are taking spots from more deserving players. [/quote]

So, why can't you post why?  I'm really curious.  I have some knowledge, but I admit not a ton, of what is involved in playing at that level and I'm curious about your thoughts on the process.  Because having firsthand knowledge of players that have gone through it, I struggle at times with understanding what exactly is being valued as it's not extremely transparent at all.

Not PP, but it just looks like if you can pay for your kid to be on the NT, you get it.  I will say, though, that most of these girls will not make it to the senior team. Call ups at youth do not equal call ups to the national team. [/quote]

I posted earlier about not saying why. Has nothing to do with paying for it. It’s all Politics from Club level to being influenced on a very high political level. From USYNTs to USWNT. For those that don’t know, Deloitte is one of the largest sponsors of US Soccer….but I am not traveling down that road publicly. It’s a losing cause. This is in regards to the USWNT.

In the youth pool, it’s all about which Clubs and who the scout is/was but it starts with who a coach recommends to be scouted at ID Centers. Some players do get scouted at games and events however. Just because a player is great does not automatically put them on the team though.  If another player is just as good from a well known Club, that player will be chosen by the committee who likely have relationships with Club coaches where the players are from.
