[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We won't know for another 4 years or more what players who went straight into DA at U13 or U14 look like at U19/college age. Do ECNL boosters really think those players are going to be significantly worse than their ECNL counterparts?[/quote]

Boys DA is in its 11year. A player who.enterd at 13 is now 24. 
For the first time in nearly 30 years, the US men's team has failed to qualify for the World Cup.

1st Time Ever in the weakest group in the World.

We are caught between one group of players that is too old (Howard, Dempsey, etc.) and one group that isn't old enough yet (Pulisic, McKennie, etc.). If we had nabbed one goal in Trinidad, we were through and then who knows what happens. Are you really going to take this small sample size on the men's side to extrapolate the value of a program on the women's side? As if there are no other factors at work in any way?[/quote]

Are you really not?

Trinidad. For real...Trinidad? Tell me, do kids in Trinidad play USSDA? How about kids in Iceland? Ghana? Argentinia? Mexico?

If you believe that a league is going to produce world class players then you need an education on how athletes are developed. Our scouts are lazy and incompetent. Our Federation is lazy and incompetent. The development academy is not an academy at all.

How about our YNT's?

Constantly getting beat by under funded programs?

How about the US YN team getting beat by the Mexican Youth National Teams with American born players who were not good enough for the US YNT. Read that three time and let it sink in
