USSDA is club soccer and that's part of problem,
Most of the same coaches, players, and its run be the same people doing mostly the same things .
People like to put pseudo labels on things to make you think they are something they are not. Elite, academy, US this, state cup that, etc
Nice there is a da circuit to play in but with the amount of money spent over the 10 year period you would think the program would produce more. The USA youth teams haven't even been able to qualify for the Olympics during this period and they can't hold onto players or have any consistency.
Maybe its just club soccer in general but we obviously need some changes to be able to compete at the world level,
I hope people wake up and see that we need change; more quality coaches, a way to open competition (promotion/regulations), better training at young ages, soccer needs to be more affordable so the sport is not one of privilege for players once they get to a certain level,
We can't get along and there is a bunch of competing leagues with more coming on all the time. There is no national, state, or even local focus so everybody is doing what's in there best $ interest. People talk about pyramids and hierarchy but in reality the roads are dirt,grass, or turf.

It's called PLAGIARISM .
You're not even embarrassed are you? No of course you're not.

This is an interesting article and there is some encouragement on the "Brick by brick" approach for the YNT.
We've might have thrown a lot of bricks in the past but maybe we have started to shoot straight:

You know how I know you didn't plagiarize your last post? Because you sound dumber than when you do.

at least you have 3 of the consistent teams, strikers are 1-2-1 with only 4 goals in 4 games including a 5-1 blowout to Albion. Exposed when you can't possess, pass, or play out.Arsenal, Surf, RSC ok you should stick with golf. Let's hear the excuses now or maybe you with wake up and see whats real.

What exactly are you wanting to hear? that you are the most talented team, that you belong among the elite teams? LAUFA is an average to good skilled team with 2 very strong and fast forwards. LAUFA has the advantage of having size along with some good technical players. But there is nothing separating you from the rest of the teams that are just starting or that have a much younger squad. If claiming your d1ck is bigger now makes you happy then so be it. I think is a little early for people to start talking sh1t for winning a few games when teams are barely getting started. The true measure will be when these kids are 15+ and age is not a factor.

Don't need to hear anything about LAUFA.
Everybody wants to be a Homer and claim they have the stud, fastest, strong this, dominate that and all this bs. When in reality they don't back up the sh?t talk.
I haven't seen a single post from any LAUFA homers claiming they have anything special or about winning games.
Younger squads take a look at the thread in the boys academy forum, strikers has the oldest team by far.
I'm always amused by the irrelevance of the evidence people cite to support their point. Ramos uses 90% of YNT call-ups as evidence of DA's success. The 90% only shows that DA is a destination of top notch players. It doesn't necessarily mean that DA develops them once they arrive, which can only be supported by superior level of play relative to the past. This is not a knock on DA but the lack of logic in people's reasoning.

All I know is that they tied 1-1. Surprised that PATS won 3-1 against Surf.
The Pats/Surf game was a weird one. It was a pretty close game with Surf up 1-0 for the first 60 plus mins. The game flipped on it's head when there was a 50/50 at the top of Surf's box. The two boys hit the ball at the same time, the ball flew high in the air, and somehow came down in the left upper v. The game got wackier from there and Pats punched two more in almost immediately on counters.

Good game today between GSA and Strikers . 3 to 0 GSA however the strikers are playing to develop. Sean is doing a great job. I didn't see one long ball and they tried playing out the back the whole game. Goalie didn't punt the ball. I was very impressed with he Style of play.
As of GSA they look really good in every position. The bench is also strong.

LAUFA 3-1 over Surf.
Surf pressed well 1st half but tired 2nd half, LAUFA took over and rained down shots and crosses with a convincing 2nd half attack. Keeper could have used some more help and they sort of lost their shape a bit , reverted to long ball trying to score, but they gave it a good go trying to press.
