Our team looks like a bunch of pipsqueaks out there. We need bigger, more physical players.

That would require a fundamental shift away from the American soccer establishment's PC notion that soccer is the most "democratic" sport where players don't have to be big, strong, and intimidating like football players.

I know from firsthand experience that teams of big, fast, less talented American players can and do beat teams of 140lb, skillful ballerinas.

It ain't real democratic....it's just reality.

We need to find ten times the teenagers we currently ship off to Bradenton and let professional teams develop them much earlier.
