[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone thing to do with DA and the failure of US system. Not only could the team not qualify for the 2018 WC but two years after a miserable performance the team loses in front of America to a team from the Carribean and one of the worse teams in South America that is in the middle of a major political and humanitarian crisis. Please folks, this is serious. [/quote]

This has to do with US Soccer leadership and the joke that is called college soccer in this country.  But keep telling us the same coaches that coach in the DA would do better for our USMNT by letting kids play for some HS coach and playing a 5 month club season in ECNL or some other league.  That will solve all of USMNT problems.  The DA is a major improvement in concept but not in execution because the directives are still coming from the dinosaurs at the top of US Soccer.[/quote]

Lol. Moron. If we got rid of HS and College Soccer we would still suck. What dont you get? USSF is a joke. We cant find 20 guys  in a nation of 300 million that can play soccer. Lol. [/quote]

We agree on USSF. So maybe you should work on reading comprehension before calling someone a moron.  The point I was making is that the DA is an improvement over a reliance on a HS plus 5 month club season followed by college soccer.  HS and college soccer are developmentally damaging for national team level players.

It is perfectly reasonable to prioritize education over soccer with making college soccer the end goal but don’t expect success at the national team levels after 4 or 5 years of only playing a third of the calendar year during ages 18-23.  It is the same argument as the DA vs ECNL. Even assuming coaches are equal in both leagues, 4x a week training vs. 2 or 3 and 10-month season vs. 6 adds up over time.

The DA is not the problem. It is just not enough of a solution. [/quote]
