Agreed. It can't be overstated how big it is for the US National Team that the MLS continue to expand its youth outreach. If DC United can find that poor kid from the suburbs who would never be able to afford select soccer and ODP programs, and train him from a young age, you have yourselves a potential superstar.
It's all going to happen, the US will eventually be a great soccer nation. We just got a late start.

I wonder how many soccer "stars" this country missed out on because their parents wanted them to play baseball instead of soccer or because they opted to go to LSU instead of accepting a scholarship to play at the University of Rhode Island. You get my point.

That's the American way, we were late to both World Wars but emerged undefeated.
