[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone feel like the USMNT was better before the creation of the Boys DA?[/quote] 1. No. Are you aware of how many more teen pros we have now as a direct result of the DA? The younger MNT players who played DA like McKennie, Pulisic, Adams, and Sargent are much more fun to watch than those on the current team who came of age pre-DA. If the girls DA ends up being as successful as the boys for the same low cost (well in the future, I know) it will be hugely helpful for girls soccer. 2. This is not the thread for this question. We are talking about the women after a really great World Cup. I will be interested to see if there is a big boost in the number of girls going to play in Europe the next few years, either after or instead of college. [/quote] #1. Pulisic is not the result of the DA. Get a grip. #2. US Mens soccer was better 15 years ago. Go figure. #3. Rose didnt play DA. She did just fine and is "exciting". #4. Why do we need to send our women to Europe? European women are coming here. I guess we should go learn from the European Champs huh. And #5. The biggest point of them all A LEAGUE DOESNT CREATE TALENT. A PAY TO PLAY SYSTEM IS NOT A TRUE ENVIRONMENT TO CREATE WORLD CLASS PLAYERS. THE DA IS NOTHING MORE THEN A YOUTH LEAGUE MADE UP OF INDIVIDUAL CLUBS. ITS ALL BS. [/quote] Pulisic has said the DA played an important role in his development, and, of course, that he was hugely fortunate to have a European passport so he could play overseas at 16. Claiming the US men’s team was better 15 years is ridiculous. We have a large and growing number of teens in Bundesliga now, which is huge, in addition to the number of homegrowns here. Wouldn’t you rather play for Lyon than any of the women’s professional teams here? I sure would. [/quote]
