@MCameron008 No you don't. Most people get regular jobs. Those without the skills tend to make very little money.

@NobletStrength If you don’t make it as a pro, you normally stay in the game in some capacity.
English
Underrated benefit of college soccer is that it provides a plan B. Even if you make it pro most of you won't make enough money to live on after your career. A college degree prepares you for life after soccer.

@NobletStrength Yes. I would honestly would care less that a top Euro Pro academy was interested in my 14 y.o. than UCLA. I know the odds of coming out of both, and would prefer the one that gave him a premium education.

@aseaborne Ya, I understand. People are giving bad opinions. It's dumb. I don't like dumb opinions. They didn't give up. They just got beat.
English
@NobletStrength Dude. This is your opinion. They are giving theirs. They clearly struggled to adapt to the tactics of Belgium but they quit on themselves to not acknowledge that is asinine.
English
I'm incredibly disappointed with a lot of USA WNT players here because these are low IQ takes on the problem. It wasn't the fight. It wasn't the effort. It was the ability. They didn't have it. If you couldn't notice that that's why you shouldn't be analyzing the game.

"At least show the fight until the end. What upsets me most is that I didn't see that" Former USWNT Captain Becky Sauerbrunn knows what that fight looks like more than anyone
English
This is of course 100% true. All the reasons people give why they don't like MLS like lack of pro/rel, franchise model, level is too low, retirement league, etc. The real reason is much more simple. They hate it because it's the biggest American league and they want soccer niche.

@NobletStrength The Venn diagram between people who claim we need pro/rel, who follow a foreign club that won't get relegated, and would still find an excuse to not watch #MLS even if it did everything they wanted is a circle.
English
@NorthFultonJP Name recognition is way bigger for alot of people than the sport itself.
English
@NobletStrength I’ve started to realize that many people view soccer as a fandom like star wars or Pokémon and aren’t actually sports fans.
English
Liking soccer. If you need promotion and relegation to enjoy it then the problem is probably that you're not that big of a soccer fan.
rebekah@rebekah_e_s
genuinely asking: what is the incentive to “support your local club” when there’s no promotion or regelation in the mls?
English
When I was a kid during summers I used to juggle for 1-2hrs almost everyday in my driveway and I'd shoot the ball against our garage door if my parents weren't home. There were so many fun things to practice even on my own.
English
This is just not true and goes double if you include soccer games like soccer tennis, altinha, 1v1s, crossbar challenge, and of course freestyle soccer for individual training. If anything soccer is probably one of the best sports to play either by yourself or small numbers.

Soccer hasn't taken off in America because you need at least 10 friends (5v5) to play a good game With basketball you can get in a good sweat with 2v2, and with baseball you can practice hitting and pitching with 1v1 With soccer, unless you have a goalie, two defenders and 2 forwards, you're basically wasting time

@KyleMcCordMuse I don't think it pushed US Soccer back at all. It has made a conversation though and while most of it is negative, more eyes on soccer is almost always a net positive.
English
It was embarrassing but the group stage and Bosnia win pushed the conversation in the right direction so it’s not too bad
🇬🇭🇺🇸@Playboi_Gandhi
People don’t understand his much this loss has set back US Soccer
English
If we raise the floor then they raise the middle and the middle raises the ceiling. If every kid on your team has at least mastered fundamentals then your team is just gonna be a better environment for everyone to develop.
English
Yes, most of these kids will never go on to play college or pro, and that's fine. However, they're currently the teammates of players that are trying to get to that level and frankly they're just not good enough. They're not pushing their teammates hard enough because they can't.
English
One area youth soccer discourse is missing is we should be more interested in raising the floor than focusing entirely on the ceiling. That's the difference between true soccer nations and the US. Kids here often don't even learn fundamentals. Raise the floor, everything rises.
English
@JustinSadauskas @TheBolivianYank That's why it won't happen. Academies usually lose money. The ones that make money are the exception, not the norm. The idea smaller academies could sell enough players to turn a profit doesn't add up. You won't find or produce enough players that high value to sell.
English
@TheBolivianYank This would be the best step by far but I dont think these academes are profitable - so who eats the cost? I think each kid costs $50-75k/yr.
English
Hope nails it. There’s not enough developmental academies to cover our whole country. It’s laughable to think MLS can do it.
This is why we need to take away their division one status and open up the pyramid so teams can develop around the country without MLS bottlenecking our first division status.
If you let teams start from the bottom an option to make it to the first division through merit, do you know how many teams would organically develop across the country to become a “Wrexham” USA???
It’s the American dream story waiting to happen….

@sgevans It's probably an almost impossible stat to cover all serious male soccer players in that age bracket. We could do those in pro academies probably, but that's definitely well below most European countries I'd say given we only have 27, unless you include USL Academies
English
@NobletStrength Yeah I'm always wary of the 'participation' stat. And we need to start separating out 'young people playing soccer' from those really in the professional player pathway - when it comes to data.
English
If you look at countries where soccer is not the number one sport and the game has to compete with other, more established, sports - the USA is actually leading the way in that cohort.
English
We are doing the deadlifts are a bad hypertrophy exercise thing again and it's still incredibly dumb. You literally can't build a big deadlift without building your hamstrings, glutes, and erectors significantly. Most people will see growth in their traps, forearms and more too.
English
I actually think it's based that the USA is one of the most progressive national federations on this issue. It benefits both teams that they split the money.

This is some fucking retarded shit … fuck the women’s team they need to make their own money and qualify

English
@sgevans Agreed. When a professional athlete isn't trying it means it's 2010 France level disaster situation. If anything coaches at the highest levels have to bring athletes down to avoid overdoing it sometimes.
English
@NobletStrength Its incredibly rare in professional soccer at any level for teams not to try their all. There are levels of trying of course but I find it a really lazy critique.
English
Carli Lloyd also criticized USA WNT for lack of effort and commitment in 2023. I'm not really surprised that's what she's doing now for the men's team. I think this is just how she analyzes soccer.
