Message: [QUOTE="progrocks, post: 1725801, member: 428"] Those other countries have financial incentives in developing players because they financially benefit if they become huge. There is no incentive structure in the USA for that. The academies get nothing for players who get to MLS or even sold to the EPL. MLS talks big but acts small. They can not help themselves. Last years labor negotiation the owners just have to squeeze the players cause that is what one does in labor negotiations. But that also prevents the money needed to real growth to happen. MLS also needs to stop paying above market prices for american "stars". It is better for us to make them make their money overseas. USSoccer and MLS really do have competing interests and and the US soccer media is so embedded with MLS. They really do hate Klinnsman. [/QUOTE]
