Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 3697869, member: 153"] Somewhere in this thread there are people who took issue with my claim (not you Palatine) that the former DA system by US Soccer was incredibly well run and was starting to yield the success that the USA always dreamed of. We have evidence now with all these American players at top teams. & yet, when US Soccer went broke because of Covid, they stopped funding the DA, the DA dissolved, MLS took it over, but the small clubs that were a part of the DA constellation (about 70 of them outside MLS) no longer receive support from US Soccer, and I know for a fact that the top coaches who were beneficiaries of that kind of support are no longer a part of the development system. I know UEFA A licensed coaches who could have coached pro clubs in Europe who are no longer part of the small club training circuit in the USA. This is going to be the golden age of US Soccer, followed by a deep trough. [/QUOTE]
