[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it that the pool as a whole is weak? Or is it that the pool that is being pushed onto US Soccer by these local scouts weak?

In an area that has this large of a population, I find it hard to believe that the pool itself is weak. Money and politics is the cause of a weak national team. It's a pay to play sport, and its pay to play to get seen even, there is no level playing field. The amount of players internationally that have came from nothing FAR outweighs the amount here in the US.

The only rags to riches stories left here are from baseball (typically international scouts fining them) or football (which is slowly going away because even football is going to become a club style sport)[/quote]

It's a good point.  I do think the ynt scouts are pathetic.  But they are pathetic all over the country to be honest. And they are overlooking our kids in the DMV for a reason.  Whatever they are looking for, we aren't providing on a consistent basis.[/quote]
