[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]come on guys. in the suburbs of Paris there are THOUSANDS of young kids dreaming of becoming professional soccer players and balling for hours and hours every day whether they are on organized teams or not. we don't have anything that remotely comes close here. There must be 100 academies surrounding Paris... and thats one city (although a major one). ONE city.[/quote]

Focusing on numbers is a fallacy.  But what I will say is Europeans identify the real talents sooner and better.  That’s where American soccer is dumb. Puslic said he became a pro from the training he received between 14-16.  (Dortmond) Look at his body type - we are still largely focused on American football skills and make up (speed, height and strength).  We are missing out on a lot of Xavi, Iniesta, and Messi.[/quote]

The Europeans are developing the young talents sooner and better, with serious coaches for U6 to U12.
And parents don't have a say in how clubs/teams operate (granted the parents there are easily more knowledgeable)[/quote]
