Topic	Will the USMNST ever produce a soccer player like Messi?
ClayGuida 05/24/24 12:08:58 PM #46:	Heineken14 posted... No we wouldn't because our youth system is dog shit. The French league doesn't pay as much as the other leagues, but France produces some of the best players around. England on the other hand pays the most out of all the leagues, but they haven't really produced many top top players, let alone anyone even approaching a Messi or Ronaldo level. Bumping the average MLS salary up another 500k isn't going to change that. Because France doesn't produce baseball or football players. They only recently started producing basketball players. The simple fact is millions of kids play soccer every year. As they get older, they transition to other sports. Now ask yourself why that is. I stand by my statement that if MLS paid what the NFL or MLB does for their players, we'd have thousands of kids vying to get drafted like we do in the NBA and NFL. --- lolAmerica <cite>ClayGuida posted [p:980537770] in Will the U...
