[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone, anyone, please tell me when we can expect all the great male talent being spit out by our Boys DA national league. It's been 12 years.

When it was started, kids were 14. They first group that went through should be 26, 25, 24, 23, 22.....

We should could use the help to beat some of these tiny island nations with 1/4 the resources. [/quote]

You seriously have reading comprehension issues.  The USSF and US Soccer have major issues.  The DA is the least of the problems.  The USMNT has Altidore and Bradley still starting and playing meaningful minutes.  Are they a DA problem?[/quote]

Dont get mad. Learn to have a deeper understanding of the issues.

USSF has blessed their program (USSDA) to be the gold standard of youth development in this country. The DA was supposed to produce all these great players. Well, where are they?

USSF controls the DA, the scouts, the YNT, the money and the power.

Where is the return on investment? [/quote]

Because we just can't stop selecting kids based on a stop watch, scale and a tape measure. Deep down we still believe that what we do for football and basketball translates to soccer. We pick athletes first and soccer players second. [/quote]

That would actually work if those same athletes we choose for football and basketball were trained in soccer from the same young age as they are basketball and football.[/quote]
