Judging by the u20 team, yes.
Lies...best French u20 players are playing up. Good try though.
Lies? Grow up.
The team played well regardless and is a good example of change.
They actually were dominated.
Clubs and coaches develop players. Not leagues.

The U.S.’ current roster is full of young, technical players who played high school soccer—and other sports. The vast majority of those players did not play full-year club soccer and many even played multiple high school sports.
Morgan Brian, who won the Golden Ball at the 2016 CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament, played high school soccer. So did Christen Press, who over the past year has scored some of the most technically impressive goals in U.S. soccer history.
Tobin Heath and Lauren Holiday, widely regarded as the two most technical players in the last World Cup cycle, both played high school soccer. So did Becky Sauerbrunn, who many regard as the best defender in the world.
For good measure, add in American stars Alex Morgan, Carli Lloyd (the reigning FIFA World Player of the Year), Ali Krieger, and Kelley O’Hara—all of whom played at the high school level. Mallory Pugh, the 17-year-old phenom who recently broke into the national team, plays high school soccer, as did Emily Sonnett, the No. 1 pick in this year’s NWSL draft.
To produce world-class players, the American system does not need to be a year-round club system. Nor does it need to be a soccer-only system.
Possibly my favorite post on this forum. At least one other poster here actually understands athletics and sports.

+1. Although, here's to hoping Berhalter (sp?) doesn't screw them all up. Move Tab R. up to senior coach as the next step, please.

Kinda like adults arguing about a MLB, NBA, or NFL game, right? This forum is like a radio talk show, except it is more interesting in that it is more close to home and relevant than the pros teams that adults (and kids) get fanatical about. People like to compete and to talk about competition. It is human nature. Don't try to be "above it all". This whole thread is a sports talk discussion with people ribbing each other, defending their clubs, etc. It is not some informational posting - it is what it is. Either join in or stay off this particular forum subject.
You don’t think that talking about pre-teen and teen girls is weird?
Apparently in the way you're thinking about it, yes. As far as talking about youth soccer and soccer players and parents and clubs and coaches and leagues, no.

Youre trash. Your job is trash. Your car is trash. I'm better than you. Prettier than you. Cooler than you. Oh, and my kid will smash your kid. I dont give AF what league she is in.
Except you're way off topic. But you do kinda sound like Alexi Lalas or Stephen A. Smith now.

There are 2 platforms. It’s fine. Kids get recruited in both. Kids get called to national teams in both.
Thank you for a sane response!
