Game over; "they're still ****ty" /major league
I agree completely.mathguy86 said:
I sort of get having guys playing on the U20 and U23 teams to fill those rosters out and help those teams qualify, in particular for the Olympics next year. But the primary objective should be the main squad. This experimentation should have happened a year ago and the best players (Weah, Sargent) should be logging every minute they can with the full squad.
tl/dr: US Soccer continues to pay the price of ineptitude.

They've also been doing this for over 60 years as well.jeffk said:
I'll take the Dutch youth development program over ours every day of the week.
I don't trust these guys enough to bring in the best players. I hope I'm wrong.akm91 said:
A couple of thoughts about the youngsters not on the roster. With them not participating in the Gold Cup, they actually get a full preseason with their club teams. Also, the goal is to get the 2022 and qualifying doesn't start until next spring so this gives them best opportunity to get regular playing time with their clubs when qualifying actually starts.
Eh. I wouldn't agree with that.I Am Mine said:
Have you seen where they Curaao players play?
EPL, Championship league, Eredivisie, etc.
They may be from a small country, but they play at a higher level than most of our MLS guys.
