[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It has to be our system.  Is it that the players are too spread out? Are they not being identified? I don't know. [/quote]

Personally I think it's the culture. [b] How many of the kids on the top teams in the area are playing every lunch time and after school. [/b] In most of the world kids from age 5 or 6 onwards erupt out of schools onto playgrounds and parks and streets with a soccer ball several times a day.  Ours attend three or four organized pratices per week.  No matter how good the coaching, there's no comparison.[/quote]

All we need is 20. Twenty frickin soccer freaks..out  of how many kids in this county.  All we need is 20![/quote]

You need many more great players than that to support an elite national team.  The depth is just as important in developing the IQ of athletic freaks.  Having one freak in the middle of Oklahoma or even this area playing soccer is not going to be very productive long term for the development of that kid.  There need to be numerous near-freaks in every major metro in the country.  We're a long way from that.[/quote]
