USMNT setup is a joke... all the incentives are wrong

Way too much focus on MLS, which then misaligns player development from the way the rest of the world does it. Also, too many clubs focus on strict regimented practice regimes instead of just letting kids play pickup and small sided scrimmages to maximize realistic touches on the ball

I played two years of HS soccer (1965-1966). Why hasn’t USMT improved?

They should start making those state quarters again, people loved those.**

Had that on DVR to watch. Not real concerned but need to see it

More possession does not equal more skilled, especially against Japan.**

I do think we see some glimmers with players currently in Europe

I have a pet theory that MLS has helped CONCACAF more than it has the USMNT

I'd say the MLS is about EFL League One mid quality...

My point wasn't meant to quibble about the quality

I blame tournaments ($$) and parents as well. Parents love them so they can
