[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we are a very long way from home-grown American FIFA players. Pulisic was trained by his father and father's friend. He left for Europe at a young age. Playing for Loudoun or Arlington or the likes is not going to make a World Class $200 million player. The training and coaching is inadequate.[/quote] Because the best athletes do not play soccer in the US. It unusually happens this way. A kid is a great athlete and has to decide between soccer and another sport. A pro prospect for soccer has the choice of playing for a club here(with the promise of maybe a college scholarship) or leave home and go to Europe at 14. He will not be a big shot in highschool(club don't like their players playing highschool) and espn will not be holding a news conference for him if he picks a school. In other sports the kid can stay with his family, be a big shot on campus, be on TV, have a chance at college scholarship and a pro career. [/quote]
