[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thread gone off the rails and over the cliff Indiana Jones style [/quote]
Its all the same topics just rehashed in different ways. The problem is different people view soccer in different ways. Professional Orgs, Leagues, Clubs, Owners. Docs, Coaches, Parents, and Players all have different perspectives. Add in that goals change and can vary based on age and level. Some people view competition as something that can be exploited. Others view competition as something that needs to be protected. In America it doesnt help that everything is setup to funnel money in pockets with development comming in second. In other countries money funnels into pockets but creating best in the world talent comes first. Because of the way MLS and NWSL are structured/setup (league owns the clubs) things will never change in America and people will keep argueing on this thread about things that dont matter.[/quote]

So you're saying we need to start our own soccer club (I think there's a thread about that, already, too)![/quote]
USL is already trying to do this.

I'd say the biggest variable right now is if US Soccer can guide college soccer into something other than a complete crapfest. College coaches control the college narrative and their interests dont align with pro soccer. An easy example of this is the unlimited subs rule. College coaches sell it as a way to let more players play. But in reality it makes recruiting much easier because you can focus on speed and aggression instead of skill. Without unlimited subs players need to stay on the field longer and have a higher level of skills.

Hopefully now that college players are getting paid things will change. If college players can unite, unionize, and create a players association everything will change overnight.[/quote]
