[quote=Anonymous]^^^

Klinsmann in an interview 6-years ago said it best.  In every other country in the world, soccer is a working-class/low income sport with kids fighting to break out.  The US has the pyramid upside down with parents paying for kids to play at the bottom for a college scholarship.  Completely unlike the rest of the world.

He said it should be more like basketball in this country--where the technique and passion comes out of that lower environment.  We ignore all of those kids.  Completely.  I see it my own County.  I see better soccer played by kids that don't formally play rec, travel, etc at the park down the road.  This is where my kids love to play because it is dynamic, fun and the kids make the rules.  It's playground law fostering community and they learn from kids from many different nationalities....as opposed to the watered-down, white-bread environment with robotic practices at our home club.  Boring.  At the younger years, that boredom is stifling and a killer.  99.9% American parents have zero idea that what they are paying for is complete crap. It's appalling how bad some of these licensed coaches and Clubs are...truly. [/quote]
