[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And almost every kid in DA is there for college.

That some kids go pro is of little consequence to the majority. We still have thousands of college football players even though only 200 get selected to go pro every year.

Again most people don’t give a flip about the National team, Pro soccer or the international game as it relates to their kid.

ECNL and DA account for a very small percentage of the soccer playing population that it simply is not barring entry to the game for kids.

You are talking about why you and most families do it.  That's not the problem US Soccer is trying to solve.  We have a failing MNT program and the WNT will find itself fighting for survival in a few years.  US Soccer is trying to make Soccer here competitive with the rest of the world and to make both teams world cup winners.  And the MLS is trying to be viable.  It too wants a viable DA program to feed its professional base.  Right now, the best players are great players from overseas using the MLS as the last step before retirement.  [/quote]

If they seriously are interested in pursuing world cup wins there are countless examples of countries that set out to do that with varying amounts of success.  And we do almost nothing in our system that those success stories would indicate work.  I am just an idiot soccer parent and I can see that.  They have some other agenda.  [/quote]
