That is great and your service to molding young men is very commendable. But, our model will continue to produce just a few players of true international quality. We have over 300 million people and Spain, Portugal, Holland and Belgium have less than 100 million combined.. Their system works to produce top class players.

I think some of the arguments against moving towards the proven European model of developing players is good ol' American stubbornness.. an attitude that we have nothing to learn from anyone else and will just do it our way.

Fact is, the European development model works. It's proven... Pretty much all of the top players in the world came out of European style development programs and a number of those players were already winning national and international honors at an age when most of our top domestic players were studying for biology finals and hoping to get 10 hours a week on the training pitch.
