Most (all?) MLS teams have youth academies now.

Academies that are three years old aren't as advanced as ones that have been around for decades?

That's an amazing revelation.

We get it, bro. The US sucks at soccer.

TBF, the English aren't that great on the technical aspect of the game either.

We won't see the benefit of these academies for at least a decade.


SKC has a homegrown guy who could have gone to some CL-level clubs/academies in Europe but stayed home. more and more guys are choosing to stay in MLS and other American academies. sure he played for SKC before they changed the academy but he has been with the club since he was young.
