Interest is already here. We need to fix the American Soccer Pyramid, have each MLS team set up its own academy, and get kids in early. The USMNT has gotten by on its athletic ability alone. American athletes playing soccer won't ever be a problem, but getting solid instruction early is precisely what is holding us back.

You've basically outlined the MLS model along with US Soccer. Several of the MLS teams have youth developmental teams. I know the Dynamo had a team do really well in the Dallas Cup last year. They'll get there.

Also, a lot of the select clubs have formed some sort of super-develppmental system. I am not sure of the details, but they play big regional tournaments a few times a year.

again.. he rushes it..

Bob Bradley is making me long for the days of Bruce Arena again........
