[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, you as a parent wouldn't take the risk, which is very commendable and shows you have character. However, people being paid huge money will look the other way, as the only on earth who stands to get in trouble is the player, not them. It's easy to say "I had no idea he was on the DA team, I feel lied to," and absolve yourself. Furthermore, a lot of parents are deluded when it comes to regulations and their kid's potential. Their entitlement is more important than what's actually best for their player. Pay-for-play is holding our country back from reaching its potential in soccer.[/quote] +1 if you watched the U-17 World Cup recently, it was obvious that other countries are doing something different - and their approach is developing players who are truly elite and breath taking to watch. They play the beautiful game. US players can't hold a candle to them. Pay to play & parents who throws money at developing kids who are uncreative and mediocre is a reason the US can't compete on an international level. It will catch up with the girls side eventually too. [/quote] Not sure how you can watch Andrew Carleton and Josh Sargent and arrive at that conclusion, but whatever floats your boat.[/quote] Agree, and not sure how someone could watch Erik Palmer Brown, Tyler Adams, and Justen Glad in the U20 World Cup and be so dismissive either. But I think a lot of people who like to make these comments don't actually follow the youth game or pay attention to what's going on in the current US youth landscape.[/quote]
