I'm not going to derail this thread by turning it into an American soccer player development treatise, so I'll just leave it at this: we need to use the academy system like the rest of the world does. All college does is slow down player development. It's sorta similar to a basketball player being in college vs. being in the pros. In college, he has to balance out sport with class. In the pros, honing his craft is his full-time job. College slows down player development.
Some disagree, but overall, most folks believe the college system is bad for American soccer player development in terms of developing them into world class-caliber players.
Ok I'm done. Back to football.

Women's soccer = totally, completely, 100% different scenario. Even today. Try again.
Tell her I said hi back.
Nope not trying again because I hate soccer anyway!
Then stfu because it doesn't concern you?
Tell Sloan I say "what up" back!
Translation: I don't care about women's sports, so even though college has worked for our world cup winning USWNT I'm going to ignore it. I pay attention to men's soccer and since the USMNT sucks we should get rid of the college system because we might suck less without it.
No. Translation: My name is @tarheel0910 and I don't know what the fukk I'm talking about, so I don't realize that women's soccer is in a totally different place than men's soccer. I also don't realize that men's soccer, worldwide, has a 100x better system for identifying and developing talented players from the age of 10 or younger, thus why foreign players are always more advanced than our U.S. players (unless said players go play overseas at a young age like Christian Pulisic.) I also don't understand that because of this lack of talent development setup, worldwide, for the women's game, college soccer is a great development league for women of American and foreign descent. I also don't realize that, like in most women's sports, there's not really a great post-college professional opportunity for women in soccer. There are leagues in every country, but they receive virtually no TV coverage or money, limited fan interest in other countries, and they pay very little, so they're not desirable. This makes college an even better option for women soccer players because it gives them education as a fallback.
Women's soccer is an entirely different animal than men's soccer. I'm done with this conversation.
That movie is way overrated, except for Zooey Deschanel.
Since you are done with this convo, soccer still sucks.
Translation: I type a long post where I bitch and moan when I don't get the joke.
We'd develop better soccer players if anyone GAF about soccer in this country. Since the chance at success, and money to be made, are better in the 4 major sports - this "problem" is unable to be fixed.
Failing to qualify for the World Cup did a nice job to squash any momentum soccer had in this country.
You guys are still talking about the wrong sport. This is America, and this is a real football thread.
Please tell me you're not counting hockey. No one cares about that shit except for a handful of yanks.
I’m glad you guys did all this translating I was lost AF!!!
If we're considering college baseball a "major" college sport, then NHL is a major pro sport. Both regional.
But obviously if we're being real... there's two major sports in both pros and college, and that's football and basketball. Hockey and baseball are in the next tier, and then soccer/lax/nascar/etc. are in the 3rd tier. Bass fishing is it's own bottom tier, sucks State.
The Huskers are a perennial bowling powerhouse, thought you would like to know.
You forgot about video gaming. Apparently that's a hot new sport that some people take very seriously.
Exactly.
That's a laugh, coming from one of the most arrogant, hypocritical posters on the board.
It may be funny but it's mostly true. Criticizing the play of a bball player or anything Roy does on Radar has always been synonymous with bad-mouthing the kid or coach in the eyes of the fan police on radar. They just cannot see the difference in the criticism and can't stand it. The same standard is not held up on the free football board.
I'm all for letting you get it out of your system, however. I just happen to think some of you are nuts to pull for us to actually lose games so you can say you were right on a message board. I'd prefer Larry win them all and go down as the greatest coach to ever coach the game. I could never pull against the school. Not ever.
Don't be obtuse, it has nothing to do with "being right". Of course, we'd all love for Fed to win them all and go down as the greatest coach to ever coach the game. But that isn't going to happen, is it. I'd even settle for him being a very good coach. But that isn't the case either. I simply want the ineptitude to end ASAP. Why prolong the inevitable?
Are someone's itty bitty feelings hurt? GFY!
I don't know about pulling against the Heels but I swear if UNC had hired Spurrier, I would've stopped watching them until that cork-soaker was gone.
@Archer2 if you were twice as smart as you are, you’d be half as smart as you think you are.
More than I can say for anything you poast. Compliment coming from you? Shove it up ya ass ya bastage.
Great, now I've got to do math at 9:00 at night.
