Thierry and Zlatan saying they wouldn't have become soccer players because of the costs of the American youth system, then seeing Lalas say it's a great system because it makes a lot of money for some people really sums it all up nicely

In Germany, a talented 14-year-old earns his club money. In America, his parents pay the club $15,000 a year. That single inversion explains why "we will not" is the most accurate line ever written about US soccer. FIFA built a global system for this. Training compensation and solidarity payments send a cut of every transfer fee back to the clubs that developed the player, from age 12 onward. Develop one future pro and your academy gets paid for a decade. Barcelona's La Masia, Ajax, every Bundesliga academy runs on this logic. The kid is the asset. US Soccer refuses to enforce those rules. When Seattle's Crossfire Premier claimed its $60,000 share of DeAndre Yedlin's transfer to Tottenham, it got nothing. Claims on the Dempsey and Bradley transfers died partly because the federation couldn't even produce the youth training records. So American clubs earn zero dollars when a kid turns pro. They earn when a kid enrolls. Which makes the parent the customer, and the product is whatever keeps the parent writing checks: travel tournaments, hotel weekends, $500 showcase events, private training at $100 an hour. Elite pathways run $8,000 to $20,000 a year. A comparable academy spot in Italy costs about 120 euros. Follow the incentive one level deeper and it gets darker. A club dependent on fees can't cut its weakest paying players, so rosters optimize for retention over development. The scouting pool shrinks to families who can afford the cliff, which appears around age 11, exactly when development matters most. The country runs a talent filter sorted by household income instead of ability. Every four years someone proposes fixing this. The proposal always requires the people profiting from the $15,000 model to vote themselves out of business. They will not.

“And every four years when the World Cup comes around, we will say that we’d dominate if we had a stronger youth program.” “And will we develop a stronger youth program?” “We will not.”

He’d get weeded out as a kid bc they’d pick the kids who are faster and more aggressive to focus on. They’d see him as someone who would rather go to Arby’s. Which is fine. Eat Arby’s. But it isn’t all about athleticism.

This dude is 5’9”, not very fast, and dominated the whole game. It’s not all about athleticism

All this with a supposedly “good” (World Cup level) referee. Now picture this with CONCACAF level refs and you see why qualifying out of North/Central America is such a pain in the ass.

Re: Balogun reaction - you can squint and see a line between fans of American sports (not just Americans) and everyone else. Fans of American sports are used to this stuff (most recently: Wemby not being suspended in playoffs). Quit bitching and visit Arby’s.

John C. Reilly: “Why aren’t people on the right wing concerned about human rights? They’re human too. Elon Musk says don’t be fooled by the empathy trap. Empathy is not a trap, empathy is a superpower. It’s what makes human beings exceptional, our ability to look outside ourself”

Hot take: #USMNT fans don’t really need creative chants, we could just sing popular American songs and be very loud. Same outcome

Now imagine if MLS had opened up the salary structure and went big after they brought in Messi instead of playing it safe. Huge opportunity missed to explode the popularity of the league w Messi as accelerant and a 2nd huge bump w WC on home soil providing another accelerant.

There is a reason math and literacy are discouraged in the US. If the public possessed both at a high level, the masses would recognize how blatant and widespread corruption and exploitation really are. If you think things are bad now, they're far worse. Acknowledging that is the first step.
