[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just like the MLS, you really do need a "all star" type of team to compete in europe against the higher level teams.  Over the years I've watch HP Elite assemble some top talent to travel to europe to play and if you are familiar with that program you'll know that is the best of the best from around the area.  I spoke a mom that did it last year to Italy and they did really well.  We aren't behind in developing soccer players, we are behind on how we can properly ID them across this large country.

US does an incredibly shitty job at IDing Boys soccer.  The 'best' aren't on the teams touted by US youth Soccer.  The majority our shoe-ins from the political filter that starts young.  They only look at a very small subset of soccer players from around the country.  We seem focused on filtering the pool younger and younger when nobody knows how a boy will turn out until the very late teens.  BUt, we've already given up on 99.5% of the soccer playing population by U14.[/quote]
