[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ here’s the answer: scour more than DA programs.

Talent ID sessions aren’t dragging in the majority of soccer players.

How about going to local pick up spots and teaching out into communities?

Not everyone is a rich, white yuppie that receives emails about talent ID sessions or has the means to get to them.

Most countries it’s the poorest that make it.  In the US, we take our most privileged with a healthy dose of nepotism.

Of course any player is better off training abroad than a US DA team.[/quote]

I love how people believe that Fairy Tales are the answer. “If only scouts went to neighborhoods” ? This isn’t how it is done anywhere. Yes, the occasional serendipitous Hollywood story happens but good soccer nations have both a high cultural literacy of the sport as well as a clearly defined youth program and playe pyramid. But this belief that scouts are driving through slums and neighborhoods just looking to watch amazing talent at pickup games as pure fantasy.

Ummm....how do you think most S.American players were discovered ?

The greatest of all time.  Not out is some pussy DA system filled with local ass-kisser parents’ kids. Aka Loudoun, Arlington, etc.[/quote]
