[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All these are symptoms and not the cause. Soccer is not in the culture here which is why there is no money for real academies and why we have parent coaches at early ages and why skills are not developed early and it’s pay to play and so on. You can call out these symptoms all you want but none them can be solved without first solving the culture problem. No governing body rule change about birth year or league structure or coaching qualifications will magically fix anything until the culture changes. [/quote]

Right. So let’s revert the age cut off so it’s all about maximizing rec soccer with volunteer coaches that put the biggest bruisers and gazelles on the field and play kick and run. Because that will help.

This whole thing is just insane. Europe has a formula. It’s replicable. But it takes investment. [/quote]
Investment? Who exactly should be making this investment and where does the money come from?[/quote]

Money is the problem, not the solution [/quote]
There are no solutions unless soccer becomes much more popular here to the level of the other big 3 sports.[/quote]

More popular than millions of kids playing every weekend?[/quote]

Yep.  The best athletes need to pick soccer over other sports.  They need to be thinking and dreaming of soccer when they aren't doing their 3 times a week team practice and weekend games.[/quote]

Best athlete has nothing to do with soccer required skills and IQ [/quote]

The best athletes are going to be those with the highest ceiling for execuuting those skills and doing so at a speed above their opponents.[/quote]

Nonsense

Soccer is about speed of play, not speed of you. 
Ball is always faster than man.

Speed of play is dictated by the speed of your decision making and execution.

Do you seen any slow players on Team USA with physical handicaps limping along?[/quote]

I don't know what you're talking about here and how it relates to my comment.  But what I'm saying is the US won't dominate if the most naturally gifted athletes choose other sports.  The most gifted athletes are going to take learned skills to the highest level possible.[/quote]
