School soccer coaches just don’t have the quality to develop the kind of skilled players the US needs.

Too, the better players aren't going to waste their developmental time playing school soccer. They will gravitate to the academies.

I say this as a youth coach of many years standing. The best should go to the best so they can help me realize my dream to see the United States win a World Cup before I die.

I think the best way is for MLS teams to become farm teams for the Big Euro clubs, and setup academies that can bring in coaches from the best Euro clubs to develop our youth.
