Taylor Twellman criticizes the college system but the main issue happens earlier than that. We have a pay to play system in the US where only the suburban kids get to move up the ranks.
How is that our players come from Bethesda, Rancho Cucamonga, La Jolla, Etc and not from LA, San Jose, El Paso, Chicago, etc.
I damn near pay $200 for a rec league. I cant imagine how much it will be when or if my son plays club. I have a good job but what if i made minimum wage.
The Luis Suarez and Neymars of the US wont make it here.
I feel a relegation system would help. A second or third division Boise Idaho team or Albuquerque New Mexico team would have an incentive to develop local talent in order to climb the ranks. Imagine all those soccer “cells” across the country. That would help cast a wider net. Currently only those who can pay the big feels for the big tournaments can get scouted.
Anyway, I am not sure how to solve the play to play system. Its a big money system that will keep the US team filled with suburban kids and a sprinkle of foreign born players from oversees military basis.
