[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]we will get better when our best athletes are trained to play from age 4 on up. Im taking our best athletes not our rich well off kids . Imagine if John wall only played soccer from age 4 til now and was taught ing a top level club from u9 til now ? His speed strength and size would be world class. just add the fundamentals and boom a top 5 world class player. [/quote]

Please, not the "best athletes" myth again. It's idiotic on its face. [/quote]

Whats idiotic about that Messi was trained playing soccer from very young age . in the USA the best athletes are almost never trained serious in soccer period . if you took our best athletes and just shoved soccer training down their throats from age 4 on we would have some of the best in the world. instead we have so many other options for our athletes at a low cost soccer is not a viable option. our pay to play at a crazy high price produces a very below elite athlete . look at the numbers overall not the rare 1 in a million chance kids . some of the best athletes in the world come from the ghettos of the USA. imagine if those kids that go on to play in the NBA or NFL were trained in soccer at the same rate as other countries. We continue to cater to the affluent white parents who's DS and DD are given the equivalent to participation trophies and fed the your a great athlete in soccer and just keep paying and you will be on the A travel team and told how much promise you have . Like it or not suburban soccer moms and dads. unless its in the genes. your kid isn't a top notch athlete. only in your eyes is DS/DD great. for every 1 kid who has athletic talent in Potomac. There are 12 kids in PG county or SE DC. sorry to bust your rich white dream. but give the kids in the lower income area the same access to training in their own neighborhood and watch out.[/quote]

What other sport was Messi seriously going to play? He is not a world class athlete. [/quote]

your missing the point ... we could be a top world force if we gave the training and access to our better athletes. look at Spain for example. they were so far behind the use in basketball . so they target their best tall athletes and trained basketball from young age. now they are a world force like the USA. same could be done with soccer here. its just not pushed to the urban areas where so many use elite athletes com from.
