[quote=Anonymous]There are three problems as I see it, preventing the US from having a world class soccer league. 1) Youth soccer - Unlike, say, gymnastics or tennis, we don't have a system that essentially pulls young players from school and focuses them on the sport 12 months a year. Europeans and south americans do- they look for talented young kids and train them for a decade or more on a full time schedule. 2) Season - Here, for college athletes or even MLS, the season is only a few months long and college athletes are actually forbidden from real training in the off season. Our global competition has them training and playing for many more months each year. 3) Competing sports- we just have so many primary sports- Basketball, baseball, football, ice hockey - most other countries may have one or possibly two other major sports. This siphons off many talented athletes to other games. [/quote]
