Idea to make USMNT better in World Cups

First off I don't know much about U.S. soccer and plenty of people on this board have forgotten more about U.S. soccer than I will ever know, but here's my plan...
Add an expansion MLS team called the "Young Guns" with no salary cap. The Young Guns are restricted to players 22 years of age and younger, and all players have to be American. Once you age out, you can't play for the Young Guns anymore and you either have to go play in Europe or for another MLS club.
Young Guns can poach any players from other teams for a nice transfer fee, which would be mostly subsidized by U.S. Soccer. All of the best young players could grow up playing on the same team and build chemistry for the national team.
It wouldn't be cheap, however. How much money do we have at U.S. Soccer???

The US is putting kids in academies all over Europe. The youth are developing beautifully.

Plans being made by people ignorant about a subject always work out well.

This is why I think the future is bright. We have a ton of young talent playing at big time clubs.

Can't wait for them a MLS coach to lead them to a group stages knock out for years to come

Why would you want your elite youth playing in the MLS? Let them play in Europe where they know how to play soccer. Have you watched MLS compared to the EPL? It’s like two different games.

So, just like Qatar?

Really lots of countries deal with this except for England and Germany.

The reason that won’t work is because any player good enough to be in that type team at that age would have already signed a contract in Europe. Where the money is at.

Because they'd be playing together, in theory.

How much do you bench press? I bet it's a LOT! You seem really tough and cool. Do you want to be friends?

Canada/USA, washed players looking for one more payday

Quality over quantity. Also, there are like 85 MLS teams. By simple math, they should have a bunch of players in the World Cup.

LOVE this idea, only change would be to call them "Young Gunz".
Brilliant this. You should visit more often, this is the kind of content the Soccer Board desperately needs.

Make soccer popular in Florida, Texas, and California, and not just with Mexicans and unathletic liberal pussies

Doesn't seem to be working too well for Qatar.
Also we tried this in the 1980's...

Ones that will play for NIL in NCAA and not whatever soccer is paying
Same as it has always been really
