[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DA, CCL, ECNL, MLSNext, etc., etc., etc. All flavors of the month. There will be another league to come along soon and take top spot. There always is.[/quote] MLSNext will last simply because it's tied to the professional league. It's going to be very hard for a group of clubs to convince boys that they are better than a professional academy.[/quote] Hahaha. Ya, they said that about the DA, because it was tied to the national team. Have you watched MLS? Not exactly the pinnacle of world soccer. Case in point: they put three old guys from Barca on a MLS team and they were basically unbeatable by the rest of the league. MLS also only recently started caring about their academies. Their youth league might be working now, but I'm not convinced MLS is a respected enough entity that it can't be supplanted by the next best thing.[/quote] Your biased slanted opinion and narrative will have a very hard time against facts and logic. You're basically saying the MLS will become a secondary league to a higher league. Make that make sense. Start with giving us hints on the resources for this new league. Wouldn't US Soccer just put power and money into making MLS better than to trying and create a new 1st Tier?[/quote] Nobody is saying MLS will become a secondary league. It's the league below their academies that is the question. The history of US youth soccer tells us that it's not a question of if, but when will a new league come along. [/quote] There have never been real academies before now (outside of IMG, but that's its own thing). The history of club academies throughout the world is that they supplant competition. [/quote] The bulk of MLS Next is not the academies though. They are just other soccer clubs that compete in the league.[/quote]
