Why don't people understand that our national team won't

How else will you fund women's programs though?

changing a major part of your system = publicly admitting that you were wrong, it wasn't working, and it wasn't the best in the world

same reason brits will continue to pump out brainless, super-hardworking, super-athletic players and curse their terrible luck when their brave boys are getting played off the park by inferior continentals for the 5000th time

>>76950747
Do we even have an alternative tho? I mean soccer school systems exist because rich clubs fund them, usa clubs dont even have enough money to feed their players.

>>76950803
I'm talking about the whole travel soccer system

Young kid from the worst ghetto has natural talent and anywhere else in the world, he is spotted and signed to a club. In the US, that kid will never play soccer at a high level out in the suburbs and switches to basketball, football or baseball.

>>76950811
this so much

Where is the incentive? An athlete has about a dozen different avenues to get paid more with less competition playing another sport. MLS minimum players make less then city trashmen in some areas.

You guys dominate a bunch of other sports, leave football to us

>>76950914
The base salary for mls is like 100k I think

It hasn't been this way for awhile though. Our youth teams are actually starting to become really competitive now.

Do people actually believe this? Nobody abuses the England team more than the English

Dude, Canasia have just given a terrorist $10m because he injured himself with his own bomb. These people can't see degeneracy even when they have their dog's cock in their mouth. Very sad.

>>76951022
Yeah, it's kind of the same with the US. The press expect better from England because they hype them up. In the states most sports journalists are either uneducated fucks or Taylor Twellman so they don't know what to expect.

>>76950747
Who will pay for everything though?

>>76951087
Well the media are only out to stir shit. We get excited and shitpost during tournaments because we're a massive football fan nation, deep down nobody is deluded enough to think we'll win anything.

Since 66 England have had 3 stand-out teams who failed miserably. We're used to it by now.

>>76950914
Well if they're good enough they don't have to play in MLS

>>76951188
Yeah but then they'd have to live in not America
What's the fucking point?

Do you think the people that run the academis care about the national team? No they are just trying to make money.

Welcome to the USA soccer programs lads

>>76950747
It's free to play for public high schools. You just need some cleats.

>>76950747
Our top athletes in this country get picked up by other sports like basketball, football, baseball, etc. We spread our talent too thin to compete with the likes of Germany, France, Italy, Spain, etc.

Every major Canadian city deserves to be destroyed by terrorism. Any city larger than Winnipeg or Quebec City.

Only in the rural areas (excluding native reserves, of course) is there any sort of common sense, "Canadian politeness", reasonably affordable housing, or good grassroots hockey.

Let Toronto get blown to shit by Islam, while I chill with my Canadian brothers in Simcoe County, just a quick drive going 140 KM/H down Highway 400 away from the city if I ever want to come and laugh at those fucks. I won't give any of them a place to stay when they default on their million dollar mortgage. To hell with them.

That's is what Canada is all about.

>imblying association football requires athleticism
Every. Single. Time.

>>76952393
This does not make sense at all.
Most (good) footballers are incredibly shitty at other sports.

>>76950747
my older brother was pretty good
even captained the Varsity team at age 14 despite being a manlet at the early stages of puberty.
He was approached by development system but didnt do it because my family could not afford the plane ticket and room & board to some training camp in hawaii

Everything in this thread can be said about baseball as well

>>76954742
wrong. Messi would be elite at 100 m sprint, bobsleigh or javelin throw

Imagine if the world gave a fuck about basebore. Third world fucking Cuba and Venezuela produce fucking all-stars while an entire nation of rich white kids can barely keep up? Fucking lmfao.

This is not bad. Some parents here behave worse than football hooligans (except the actual fighting) in games with 7-8 year olds.

>This meme again
To play association football you have to not be fat so that drains your pool down to about 100 kids

>>76950747
who cares lol

>>76950747

2k/y is peanuts compared to many other sports and soccer is from the cheapest end of hobbies. I'm literally weeping over all of our lost talent in ice hockey because it costs like 9k€/year.

>>76955094
this

most americans don't even run so who cares

Damn that sucks

Mexicans form their own teams here and they play that shit like a religion. The atmosphere at the parks with bystanders drinking beer is cool I guess.
