[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BDA people love throwing Pulisic name out their as their crowning achievement. Once you dig deeper you will find that the BDA did not cultivate him. The BDA has been around for 12 years. It's a failure. The USMNT is shameful.  And who is behind it all? The USSF!

At least three FIFA world players of the year winners played High school soccer. The US darling of this World Cup, Rose Lavelle, played high school.

Do I believe that HS soccer made these players what they are? Nope. Do I believe that club soccer made them what they are? Nope. 
Do I believe that BDA made Pulisic what he is? Nope.

Human development is so much deeper.

what this statement ignores is that our USMNT would be significantly worse without the BDA and the reason is that ECNL and every other league has all the problems of the DA PLUS less training, less coaching education, less referee education, more overload, and more crappy soccer competition in general.  If the BDA didn't exist, none of USSF's numerous problems would magically be fixed.  The BDA addresses some (albeit not nearly enough) of the problems associated with youth soccer in this country.  The GDA will solve those same problems and for this reason is better than ECNL or any other league even if the DA is not anywhere near perfect.[/quote]

Is the USMNT better because of the DA or because players are playing in professional academies now (mls)?[/quote]
