[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Twellman was on fire before the US Mexico game.  He said that the only way to justify waiting a year to hire the coach would be to hire a coach of Guardiola/Bielsa caliber.  Waiting a year to hire an MLS coach is stupid and wasteful.   [/quote]

Bielsa would be the dream. It’s funny how people are just like “move to Europe.” A lot of us are from South American and Central American decent, and we also live here. We’re entitled to an opinion and to critique. If you can’t handle criticism, that’s what’s wrong. Pro/rel would be a start, both on the pro/semipro/amateur front as well as on the youth front. Developing a true soccer identity would another. We’d love to be included. Soccer’s one of the things we’re most passionate about.[/quote]

It has nothing to do with handling criticism.  I doubt anyone on here is part of US soccer management.  Your "critiques" drone on regularly, that's what people react to.

How are you going to change the system from behind your anonymous keyboard on a DC Urban mom's website that is focused on parents learning options for their kids sports?

Please.....your main goal is to steer a bunch of people who have little knowledge or passion for soccer to and from various local options for their kids' extracurriculars.  You and your small band of followers love making broad generalizations about every "American" option based on the failure of the men's national teams.  Then you lump the women in, for good measure, despite their great results.

People have just as much a right to criticize your content, tone, and demeanor as you do to post your views, repeatedly.  You can't expect to continue posting all negative all the time and not be challenged on it. [/quote]

I am not the poster you are responding to but I share his or her opinion, and I have at other times also made posts in support of pro/rel, and critical of the US system.

I am part of no one's "band of followers."

There are many, many people who share these opinions, and that number is growing all the time.  A big part of the reason for that is because of people using platforms like this, and twitter, and writing articles, to educate more and more people on how the system works in the rest of the world, how that differs from the way it works in this country, and why that makes a difference in how successful we are - or not - in developing players.

What better thread to talk about things like that then one titled "USMNT."

You will note that in responding to your post I did not attack you personally.  Let's see if you can respond in kind.

In the meantime, here's a good article for those interested in understanding more:  https://prorelforusa.blogspot.com/2018/08/guest-post-it-was-idea-id-never.html
