D1 college soccer under threat

[vegasguy]

I get it...but you throw it against the wall and see what sticks. We are not putting all of our eggs in one basket because the process is arbitrary and flawed.

Wall stick.. throw none of those things... read thru the lines and you will see I mapped out your roadblocks. It gets to a case then you may be prepared. You gave me examples of players and I gave you the reason for the National team club

Sounds a lot like a DA team that has a NWSL team to me. Not sure where Liga MX fits in the world of soccer but some brief googling seems to put it on par with the 2nd Division here in the US. I could only find a few results for Liga MX teams against US teams.

I am certainly rooting for your kid and looking forward to hearing of her debut in a few years.

MLS commissioner recently said Liga MX was superior to MLS. Tigres of Liga MX beat Houston Dash last year.

How do men who grew up in Germany and the Netherlands whose only ties to the US is their father that served a military tour in Europe compete for the MNT?

Isn't it obvious? The link is through the father.

Also, I talked to the DOC in Portland-he’s from NorCal. The DA doesn’t/didn’t come close. My kid is in a professional league. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

Experimental?

Not sure how she and her Dad pulled this one off?

It is funded through the parents' pyramid business.

I agree with the men's side. But we are talking about the women's Liga MX league.

That’s my point, I have a British passport. So my kid has a British passport and can play for a UK team the same way those men can play for the USA-they have valid passports and are US citizens through their fathers. She’s just as eligible to play in the UK as she is the USA.

Houston Lost. Why?

I agree with that. I think you might have some problem with qualifying for France.

So, she’s forgoing college already? And nobody is hating the player. Just the BS

I think worst case scenario is a 2 year residency requirements. Could also appeal to the discretion of Immigration due to close family ties and make arguments that it’s in the best interest of the nation to immediately grant citizenship.

My kid is beginning college early. She is studying applied mathematics/analytics and should finish University around 18.

Damn! Good for her. But, I meant, she’s given up her amateur status already.?

Easy answer for the German/Americans.. and all the same. Their fathers are American. Some of them played on the German youth national teams too because they all had German mothers. Sergio Dest is the kid from the Netherlands. His father was born in an American-protectorate country and his mother is Dutch. Throwing softballs here.

Also an easy answer for British/Americans. I’m British therefore my kid is British.

So your 12 year old is a pro. Will debut first team Liga MX when 15. Will also graduate from University when 18. What is next on the list?

You think I’m making this up?

 

[Kicknit22]

I gotta tell y’all, I’d be much more of a honk for my child prodigy, than if they were on possible track for pro soccer. Just sayin!

Houston Lost. Why?

Because it was outside the league and Houston was coming to the end of their season and an exhibition that meant more to Tigres and Houston most likely. Context means everything. None of us saw the game so know one really knows .
