What does that even mean ?
Every single proper MLS or USL academy is competitive with any top youth academy in the world and they are virtually all professionally funded.
Had actual sports to cover today. The

's pay cut proposals might risk the league's long-term trajectory in the name of a short-term fix.
What's at stake as the USL and its players exchange counterproposals, including the league's newest request:
@ZachLowy
At the same time, what would you like US Soccer to do? Fund every single stand-alone youth club in America? Then pay the DOCs, coaches, and admins at every respective club a living wage in a push for "good coaching"?
Couldn’t agree more. I’ve made a point to watch every single WH press conference in the hope of gaining information that could indicate when lives may return to normal. The reporters who push their own agenda during a crisis are as much a virus as anything else out there.

I'm a current professional player who grew up in a fully-funded MLS academy that had players of every socioeconomic background imaginable .
The issue at your club seems a governance problem. That's separate from US Soccer and the development of talent in the country .
@Dupi678
Yeah, played against them too. Our Red Bull academy team beat more than a few of them and this was 10+ years ago .
Barcelona was one if you need an example

most important expense being housing. They should continue to hike until virtually all appreciation of the past 2 years is eradicated
@balajis
