[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If we had a system where a youth program would make millions for discovering top talent we would have free DA and the best athletes would play soccer. The difference between us and Spain is not just Pro/Rel - it’s La Liga.[/quote]

Exactly right, it's cultural which has been discussed ad nauseum on these boards.  We simply don't have the money to do everything the same way it's done in Germany, Spain, etc.

We do have a centralized federation who has the interests of the sport in this nation at heart and they want to control the way training is administered.  I don't see why that's an issue given the main challenge we have here with the type of system these other folks are proposing.  One size fits all won't fit here until the culture changes.[/quote]

You are drinking the cool-aid if you think USSF has the best interest of the sport at heart.   They are too cosy with SUM/MLS, have huge conflicts of interest.  Closed system may benefit some MLS owners, but it is horrible for soccer in general. [/quote]
