Are you using a time machine to make this argument from 10 years ago?

Off the top of my head:

Tyler Adams - Red Bull Academy
Westin McKennie - FC Dallas
Ricardo Pepi - FC Dallas
Brenden Aaronson - Philadelphia Union
Paxton Aaronson- Philadelphia Union
Taylor Booth - Real Salt Lake
Gaga Slonina - Chicago
Justin Che - FC Dallas
Gio Reyna - NYCFC
Chris Richards - FC Dallas


Have all come from MLS and we’ve only been trying with academies for like 10 years and only really doing it right for 5.

This is a solid list, but it’s hardly world class. A lot of those guys were reserves last year or played for relegated teams.

If we were churning out talent like you all are suggesting, our C team wouldn’t get outplayed by Panama. Our squad is very thin.

If you just want to field a respectable national team, that’s fine. But if we want to get to a contending level, which should be expectation given the massive advantages the US has, I think we’ll need a strong domestic league.
