[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My players would have been left without a team or club and many unable to catch on with a team either due to logistics or affordability. If you think players don't fall through the cracks you need to come back to reality.[/quote]

Different poster, but I'm sure there are tons of players who fall through the cracks here. What I don't believe is that these kids all are super stars who are more talented than those in the system. There are enough kids in TX and Southern California alone who are in the system (many of them from low-income families) to make us a top soccer nation if we had the training and pro opportunities easily available to kids in established soccer countries.  Our youth national teams are almost always competitive against international competition up to a certain age, but fall off due to the lack of good training. Pulisic's interview and comments about the years from 16 to 18 should be required reading for everyone who cares about this issue (or even just wants to sound somewhat intelligent pontificating on a message board thread that maybe 19 other people read).
