Re: World Soccer XXIII - "Pay" Up Pompey?
How badly would a Premier League academy U18 team beat any randomly collected assembly of U18 players in England or Wales? When you compare academy (selective) to high school (largely not), you're comparing apples to oranges.
If you want a USA-England apples-to-apples comparison, try a PL academy team against an MLS academy team or other elite club team. That way, at least the level of selectivity is roughly comparable.
