So much wrong in this post. It's mind-boggling to me that people actually believe this.

It's your mindset that is hindering development in the US. The US doesn't need the country's top athletes to succeed.

I'm not saying you could just throw Chris Paul or Reggie Bush out on the field, they would be good soccer players. What I'm saying is that if those type of guys, and other, picked up a soccer ball instead of a basketball or football when they were 5 years old, it would be a game changer at the highest levels.

I disagree. Under the current developmental system in the US, I doubt either one of those players would be an upgrade over any other player in our current pool.
