Hahahaha...

Did you even read the document you linked to? First the entire document is focused on YNT actions. When they say "club" its not representing what you think the word club means. Club in the document means players selected by YNT scouts to attend youth national team talent IDs. From there they also define YNT player makeup by birth month. The document tries to say that YNT talent id selection represents RAE. This may or may not be true. I could be just as easily true that YNT scouts hate December or maybe scouts only recruit in the summer, or maybe school is on break in Jan which allows players to only focus on soccer. It was interesting that actual YNT selection wasnt really skewed to a specific month in year. Is this done on purpose (most likely) because if not it invalidates RAE identified for "club" talent id invites.

On top of everything else your RAE Bible doesnt account for B teams at clubs or rec teams. Theres so many players that arent being represented. I would also argue that YNT Talent ID invites happen at u13 and maybe u14 after that the funnels are full and late bloomer players are ignored.

Basically your doc is garbage. Its not proof of RAE its proof that YNT scouting is garbage and likely actual YNT selection is picking players based on birth month to purposefully even things out. [/quote]
