Man that's nuts...soccer doesn't take much equipment...yea that is def someshady shyt.
It's an effect of soccer NOT being naturally popular that they can build this barrier. If it was as naturally popular as basketball and football, the travelling leagues would be one of MANY options.
just look at this post for reference of the average American's view of soccer

In order to get recognized by big scouts (European) and get into those Euro academies/big clubs you need to play organized football. A lot of cats talking about you can play with anything, but no scout is going to take you serious if you playing with a size 3 ball in your sandals at the corner park. That's where the money factor comes in, you need to be in a traveling team, rent out quality pitch/field, uniforms, refs, goals/nets, traveling expenses, etc.
I remember Landon Donovan being interviewed by Michael Kay said he was in Florida and after a game scouts from Bayer Leverkusen approached him and asked him if he wanted to play with them, and off to Europe he was. They wanna see you play in quality conditions and make sure you're worth the investment.

I think the point is that being a barrier to participating at all. Just like no basketball coach is going to thing a kid is a potential prospect from seeing him play in a driveway, there has to be a starting point.

That 9:30ish start time ain’t help.Can't find a thread on last nights game. team of young national players beat Mexico for the concacaf chip in a crazy game that had fights, bottles being thrown and signature PK from the U.S teams biggest star AND a PK blocked by a back up goalie.....and no one cares
I just looked at the recap from yesterday and saw the players and totally agree.
That was the first USA/Mexico match I've seen in a long time where I thought the US clearly had more attacking talent. And with Tyler Adams and Yunus Musah they probably have a better midfield too.
