The chupacabra

Yup and he scouts locally, knows the players & coaches very well. When he shows up at a game, practice or helps run a training session normally interested in some of the players.

There is another one also....his focus is international play and he scouts for several Euporean academics,. MLS academies don't necessarily like this gent because he's successfully helps academy players get trials and contracts with the overseas clubs every year.
 
Sounds like there is at least two people in youth soccer that are trying to give kids a chance. Hopefully the international poaching will help US Soccer to take notice and change. Who the hell tells a 15 yr old they are a bad kid? Shape these kids into professionals, teach them to be better players and help them turn into good men.
 
A little long-winded. Decent article. He referenced a Mission Viejo football in manner that was one-sided to fit the racial narrative he wanted to present. White vs latino - not that over 1/2 the school is minority and signs poking fun of Trump were also present. I hear a ton of "white boy" insults at games as well. Lazy reporting pushing something he already had in mind.

As far as the USMNT there is some racial undertones. Seen with the German players and what coaches/scouts/analyst attatched to MLS have said - worse how they have acted. Much of the Latino issues is with antiquated thought or fitting people into molds. Much of the issues have come from profiling players at midfield back to keeper. want big tall players - otherwise theyll probably pass.

My theory is much of this has to do with marketing. SUM/MLS push to have the traditional american concept they can sell to casual fans to increase the size of the market. Real soccer fans watch because of the quality of the product and the dopes running everything will lose viewership/sales if the product isnt improved right now. Funny given American Sports Fan will know who Messi is and watch Barca over NYRB with Tyler Adams - they wouldnt even know who Tyler Adams is.
