re: Why can’t the US ever turn the corner?

Perhaps. But it doesn’t matter until we develop the skill base to compete. If we can combine that with the will and fight we used to have, then we can actually be a threat.

I just finished talking to my Colombian friend who hasn't watched the US in a while before watching yesterdays match. His statement:
"When did the US start playing like Mexico"

We're trying to catch up in a sport that we gave up on since the Great Depression. We've had missed opportunities from losing a legendary German coach as national manager in 1970s to ignoring Tom Byrne who revolutionizes Japan soccer.

Yeah that was a mistake. The fact that we used a franchise system was also a mistake. Having regional leagues with teams in cities with like 50,000 people all feeding into larger leagues at the top of the pyramid would have incentivized development in a massive way.

MLS academies themselves are free if I recall correctly. We are finally getting investment into our academies, and they are pumping out talent at an unprecedented level for us. Guys like McKennie, Aaronson, Adams, Weah, Gio, Scally, Richards, McKenzie, Pepi, Ferreira, etc all spent time in MLS academies. The U20s who easily won the concacaf championship are almost exclusively from MLS academies. Where we lag behind is in coaching. It’s getting there, but slowly. Marsh will open doors if he’s successful.

I was thinking about getting coaching licenses or something. I'm playing with kids who are now half my age.

Damn do that son. I wanna find a shitty school that will let me take over their middle school and high school teams. I've figured out a couple of really solid ways of building technical skills very quickly that I want to try out. I'd have them kids wearing gold-plated diapers by the time they were seniors.

You figure out how to teach at the school, I'll find investors and then morph into the South LA version of Mino Raiola

You should start a program at a JUCO like Eddie Sutton did at southern idaho

This sounds like we are going to get caught in an orgy ring 20 years from now.
