Do you understand what golden generation means?


Anyway, you man got put back in your places


trini man STAND UP AND SALUTE

Referencing youth level success. Those three generations produced players heavily scouted and liked as youth but one completely flopped and you seen the effect of it in this cycle.

As a league, how is MLS preceived in the world?

I am not all over the world, I am only in the US. If I was all over the world, I would have better insight

Imagine if Messi was american? Dude wouldn't sniff the national team unless his parents were making 80k and up

So why isn't there a larger interest in major league soccer?

I think MLS is slowly gaining more and more attention each year. I feel that it can be marketed a bit better but the interest is growing.

As a league, how is MLS preceived in the world?

I don't follow football as closely as I do basketball, but the general idea I have living in France is that no one cares about the MLS, unless an old euro player (Beckham, Henry, etc) goes to play there

No.

Every CONCACAF team going to the World Cup has MLS players. So even though the USMNT failed, the league is doing OK

US Soccer isn't USA Basketball, but I think this is their 2004 Greece moment. Have the chance to change the culture.

Talent was there, the talent isn't here in soccer

USA have to go with the pyramid scheme, they have no choice. Eliminate franchises and introduce relegations.
American sports model DOES NOT WORK FOR SOCCER/FOOTBALL.

it doesnt work for any of our international sports.

We only win in basketball because we played it first and have freak athletes and a lot of people play basketball, but consider that someones sorry sack dad was coaching a young Lebron James. Thats what we have with American soccer except no Lebron James.

The way we develop athletes in this country is all backwards. We have seen the fall off with American tennis as a big example. We always talk about NBA players lacking the ability to play in a system, etc. Kids are not coached well in this country and have to go it on their own. Until we take sports development more serious, this will always happen.

The US soccer system needs to change its approach and get better training for youth coaches and bring in better coaches from around hte world to work on the system.

Yup, guys ought to look at how many MLS guys scored last night for those teams.

Pulisic gotta be hurin' badly off this. You can really expand your brand and profile in a World Cup

Pulisic is going to Real Madrid or Barcelona or United within the next 18 months. He gonna be fine.
