re: This is what happens when leagues compete instead of clubs

This whole conversation is a microcosm of why US Soccer has basically reached it's apex....at least for the rest of my life.

There are people here arguing with methods that are proven to allow national soccer federation to work with the leagues of that nation to promote, fund, and perfect player development.

There are people here arguing about why we can't use these methods as it pertains to the US and MLS....which is what has been going on with the USSF and MLS for years (granted both are imperfect for sure). It's not that they can't get on the same page....it's that they won't. That will keep us where we are right now.
