I could be wrong but do you mean to tell me African nations like Nigera, Ivory Coast, and Ghana have better youth soccer setups/coaches than America?

In most cases players from those nations don't actually ply their trade there. They move to Europe at an incredibly young age and are brought up in a youth system entirely removed from anything remotely close to what their country could offer.
I have been to Southern Africa many times. There is always the possibility of a star being produced there, but that can probably be attributed to the sport having a near monopoly unlike in the US.
