I think you are missing the point of the thread
No I got the point, but I don't think Landon's stupid attempt at galaxy brain comments mean we're fricked as a soccer country.
No shite MLS wants the best Americans in their league, that be a terrible business and marketing plan if they didn't. But I think everyone knows, and even MLS knows, the league is miles away from even coming close to being able to do that.
To be the best soccer country we can be, we need our best players to be in Europe. Full stop.
With that said, I think preaching "to be considered for the A-squad, you need to be in Europe" mantra that all our USMNT coaches have been preaching since Bob has burned some guys. Take Reggie Cannon for example. Dude basically jumped at the first european offer he got and it turned out to be a shitty situation where he played in a league just as talented as MLS, where he was played out of position and wasn't even getting paid on time.
He would've been better off staying in Dallas for another year and likely would've gotten a better offer.
Same goes for George Bello and Gianluca Busio, who have gone from young talent in MLS to riding the bench in a second division league in Europe. They could've cultivated in MLS for another year or two and would've been better off for it.
