I don't know... we have plenty in the pool for everything else. USA is a very diverse country.

Definitely have to go to a 4-4-2 since Mastroeni is very out of place, and it helps out both Wynn and Beasley.
Need to somehow get the ball to Jozy, Donovan, Dempsey's feet, not keep playing kick and run.

what the frick was that Wynn
i don't keep up much with MLS assuming Wynn plays in MLS, i stay pretty current with european soccer,
but did he just start playing soccer or something.
he looks spastic or something.
i'm pretty sure i could do just as good as him.

the youth programs need to start in the projects too.. soccer is another sport, just like basketball, all you need is the ball to play..

it's all about getting paid at a young age
then soccer will get more talent

the MLS may become a good league but it will never be anything close to European soccer because the best players in the world love playing in front of passionate fans and making as much money as possible, and they can do both overseas.

Funny thing is that US youth academies are pretty shitty as well. Like you only occasionally get a true baller that comes out of IMG or some other athlete preparatory school.

Yeah.... but the only problem is compare what potential MLS prospects can make and pretty much everything else.

OVER THERE! 
and yeah, i agree.
what we need, is to show we arent afraid to play our beasts. i mean, how old was rooney when he was starting for england, 19 i think?
we have to put our guys on the field

Adu needs to come on, he adds more creativity and offensive firepower. He won't play kick and run either.
Need to help the two fullbacks by switching to a 4-4-2 allowing them the wing mids a chance to slow down the attack.
Mastroeni needs to go behind Bradley in the middle, he is very out of place.

its the same thing we have said for years... the best athletes throughout the world play soccer.. the best athletes in the US have probably never touched a soccer ball..

generally, at least the last 15 years or so, we only need like 2-3 more studs to put us into real contention
it's not like ALL of our players suck

You cant tell me half of the Dutch and Spanish(country) players are amazing athletes. The US is in the same boat, except the Dutch from infancy develop into clinical tacticians and are among the most skillful players in the world.
The Spanish are not anywhere near the best athletes, but they play so quick and explosive.

or even good youth programs either. They have some beach play, and even futsal or other forms of hard court fields.
