[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's another one that makes no sense.

Leagues generally have one person per geography that's the manages that areas Talent ID. Usually every club in a league gets 1-3 Talent ID invites per age group.

In my kids league there 10is teams and 3 clubs tend to always win it all. If you were US Soccer wouldn't it make more sense to just take all the players on the teams that win and ignore the rest? Obviously they know how to win and likely have Talent. Why even waste your time with players from clubs that consistently lose?[/quote]

No it's doesn't.  Do really think the 5th best player on multiple winning teams is going to be one of the top players in the nation?  No of course not.  It's either top players on winning teams or it's top players hidden on losing teams.[/quote]
Teams that win, win for a reason.

Teams the lose, lose for a reason.

Leagues distribute Talent ID invites mostly evenly to all clubs because that's what the clubs are paying for. US Soccer is then forced to look through all the duds to find the talent.

Do you really think US Soccer wants to waste their time looking at a player from a 2-15 team?[/quote]

Why would they waste their time looking at the 5th best player on a winning team when they are looking for the best players in the nation?

Most youth soccer players are constrained geographically.  That's means a top Talent player is going to play on the best team within driving distance, which very well could mean the rest of their team isn't as good and they could sit near the bottom of the division.[/quote]
Waste of time. Sure you can dig through the bargin bin looking for talent or just go to the top team that wins and take the whole team. [/quote]
