    The real fix is to go full cold war USSR. Identify young talent and take them from their homes. Put them in a government funded intensive training program. Provide school, housing, meals, etc.

    Each year re-evaluate players and send them home if they arent performing.

    Note, USSR may just have had them killed.
    Or sent them to East Germany.

      2026. If the US is hosting in 2026 we need a plan in place to help with success in that tournament. Right now, the U-17 and U-20 pools indicate that the DA program is having some success. But a major problem has always been transitioning that talent from the U-17 level to the senior level, that's what the US sucks at.

        Nah, they're big strong athletes, you send them to Siberia to get work done and then the other part just sorta happens after a while.

              This is absolutely ludicrous. Having a larger talent pool to select from is extremely important if you want to build a better team because it's essentially a bell curve where you have a larger number of people in the top percentile. And as Jim said it's not like they're hurting for money.

                        So if we did that here we'd have DC United, a U20 team and so forth down the line all the way to 9 year olds. What I'm not clear on is would you have a ton of 9 year olds learning the fundamentals and then as they age up, the pyramid gets smaller???
                        can we also relegate then?!?!?!

                          teams that can beat you are competition. otherwise they wouldn't bother playing the game!

                          sure seems like the us had competition

                            You know what I meant, far stiffer competition than we face in CONCACAF.
