[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ICYMI Josh Sargent agrees with Pulisic,  not enough playing time in MLS for really young players.

Does Pulisic really have the knowledge and experience with MLS to make these comments? Remember a lot of MLS players spent 4 fours in college. The NCAA restricts and limits the practice time and amount of games. [/quote]

His father certainly does.

I think they know what they are talking about.

It’s pretty much agreed upon by just about anyone with soccer knowledge.

I was in Europe recently for a Champions League game and 2nd half Phil Foden 17-years old came in for Man City with a credible amount of playing time.  He has since been in the starting line-up.  17-years old on the best team in England currently.

Christ even US high schools these days follow bullshit seniority for Varsity team mostly—not ability.  [/quote]

HS sports is different as you want to give your seniors the best chance to be scouted, the others will have their time once they become seniors as well.  It's completely different scenario as you may only get three years to show your talent, unless you were playing varsity as a freshman.[/quote]

Not so sure about that.  We were getting scouted much younger than Senior Year at HS games and getting All-Met, All-Region, etc. in our sophomore/junior years.  Scouts aren't really a huge part of the HS scene these days.  They tend to go to DA/club soccer games.[/quote]
