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

The NHL doesn't have pro/rel, and Canada still managed to win three of the five gold medals at Olympics using NHL players.

I just don't vsee how pro/rel would make the USMNT any better. Our biggest problem is that boys want to grow up to be Bryce Harper or Drew Brees or LeBron James. Until they want to be the next Christian Pusilic, we're not going to have an elite men's team.

Dumbest argument ever, the American way of doing things in soccer does not work

The USWNT is able to compete at the highest level.

and are very close to being passed as the rest of the world has caught up. The development of the women’s game is nuts especially in Europe. Some of the biggest clubs in the world as investing big into it and the American women’s league which is subsidized by mls and the USSF won’t be able to compete. Like 40k went to the women’s fa cup final.

The arrogance of some about the American way is amazing especially when showing a clear lack of knowledge. This isn’t the NBA this isn’t the NHL and this isn’t the MLB. Some of y’all need to stop trying to force that way of doing things on to soccer. There is already proven ways to be successful. Pro/Rel is one of the factor but it’s not the be all end all like the OP says.
