Originally posted by Jimjamesak View PostThat's just surplus, that's not including income being wasted on executives and useless coaches. And be mindful that we're likely to host a World Cup in 2026. The USSF still has funds from 1994. There's money.

In short, is it lacrosse?U-A-A!!!Go!Go!GreenandGold!

It seems you all are describing the symptoms, not the illness. The illness is that soccer simply isn't as popular in the US as several other sports. Building up the system you are dreaming of might just be possible until there is big money in soccer in the US.

Re: World Soccer XXVIII: Campeones de NorteAmérica.
Jimjamesak - what would be your timeline for a fix? Having something in place and fully working by Qatar seems a bit of a stretch so we're looking at 2026 and the full results by 2030??CCT '77 & '78

Re: World Soccer XXVIII: Campeones de NorteAmérica.
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.PSNetwork / XBOX GamerTag: xJeris
