Also, FC Dallas and NYRB's academies = US Soccer. The amount of American talent that they have is unreal. I really hope those programs do well.

FC Molde and Hertha are huge for us too.

Let's all root for these 2 teams.

75% of these players will never receive a national team cap.

And....I knew you were going to post. I never said they were. If anything it should make you feel better bc there is a SINGLE thread of unrealistic expectations and maybe you won't see as many in other threads.

I know that 75% won't make it. I just thought it'd be neat to see where all the youth players are from and people ask all the time about young players that the US have.

95% of Sheep's posts attempt to rain on parades.

Nope. He's said if he doesn't get a professional contract with Bayern during the next year, then he'll move on.

I really hope FC Dallas as a good academy.

Kellyn Acosta (FC Dallas Academy)
Boyd Okwuonu (FC Dallas Academy)
Jack Coleman (FC Dallas Academy)
Michael Ambrose (FC Dallas Academy)
Moises Hernandez (FC Dallas)
Victor Ulloa (FC Dallas)
Jonathan Top (FC Dallas Academy)



Also, I think Adrian Ruelas COULD BE a big time player. However, he has been called up by Mexico (U-17) and the US (U-20). He has 3 goals in 2 games for the US U-20 team.

They do. Mexico's U-17 goalkeeper is from the FC dallas academy.

Those guys beat Barcelona's academy a couple of months back.

I know that FC Dallas trades away lots of talent and just fills in with academy players.

There should be a ton of talent in that north Texas area. Also, Houston should have a good academy as well with all the talent in that area.
