Um
We've talked about this ad nauseum.
And it's not it's not a secret.
They the selection process for the youth national teams.
is overwhelmingly
from the MLS academies.
And that is not that is not a league issue.
That is from those thirty two academies.
And I think that probably makes some sense at the older ages, especially looking at U twenties and you seventeens, because that national team more and more is gonna be filled with pros.
Funnel players to and I think that I think that is the case.
But if we look down at U fifteen and U fourteen.
So we're talking about thirteen and fourteen year old kids in a country of three hundred and forty one million, overwhelmingly still at those age groups, almost all of the players selected are still coming from thirty two academies.
And now I'm not here just to cut to to make that point because I have a suggestion.
I'm gonna say very lazy scouting.
To underline the point, in the last six under fifteen youth national team camps from October twenty-five to June twenty-sixth.
Four non MLS clubs had a player selected.
Four.
In the entire country.
And why why in in in the last three U fourteen talent ID programs, nine non MLS clubs had a player selected.
Why am I saying that at those ages?
