Said it before. You can have your soccer competitive, developmental/professional, or accessible. Pick 2.

Everyone uses the "US Men Didn't Qualify for the World Cup so now Pay to Play is a bad thing."
If we had qualified and done well, would everyone then think that we have the right model in place?

Yes, everything would've been just fine had we been able to beat Trinidad and Tobago, qualified for the World Cup along with other CONCACAF powerhouses (combined record of 2-1-7 in World Cup), and exited after the group stage.

I blame Bruce Arena for all the problems with youth soccer.
