Nobody does any scouting. They wait for parents to bring the kids to them, along with a large check.

You made it sound like these pro clubs don't want to find the next Messi or Neymar on US soil. That makes no sense.

Messi's and Neymar's families would not have been able to shell thousands of dollars to play organized soccer in the US.

They're too greedy and lazy to do it. The US pro clubs make all the money they need on a mediocre game, and USSF gets its cut. They don't need the next Messi or Neymar to keep doing that, and if they did, they would just try to bribe the real Messi or Neymar to come here and play when they age out of Europe.

If we can bargain in losing you and the rest of the anti-US goons from this forum, I’d be happy to say goodbye to Gregg and you guys.

Sadly, we are stuck with you in perpetuity. And of course he’s not getting fired, no matter the result in a single game.

People complaining about USSF and MLS wasting the potential of a pool of millions of players in one of the world's largest countries because of corruption and incompetence = "anti-US goons"

They all play for Holland

Lmao. Yes this is all GBs fault! He’s directing all the youth clubs to look for goons.

Abso-fikin-lutely.

After 10 years of the DA program, the best we can manage is this? An utter and complete embarrassment and should cause (but won't) an examination of why our style of play is always so poor and how the DA is hurting, not helping the development in the USA.

Knowing the local selections for this program at our Club (the type of player valued along w/ some solely there through politics)—the results of da program seems about right.

Yep. Take a younger team to Europe. The Europeans focus in on the kids with a great touch, ball control and soccer IQ. The Americans are proudly pushing the big fast kids who play a goon- style of soccer.

Why scout a bunch of the same mediocre crap? Not worth it. Americans suck at soccer in relative terms. Deal with it.

LOL maybe the problem is very simple: Americans suck at soccer.

No the problem is the lack of open system where professional clubs compete with each other. We have one club MLS that controls USSF. Monopolies breed inefficiency and mediocrity.
