America is trying to figure out how to increase the numbers, which is not helping to grow the game.
And more people are playing soccer than ever before.
That's not good, especially if we're talking about two teams.
And let's say eight of them can do it and eight of them can't, right?
What service are those players who aren't talented enough receiving?
to be on that field but have been told they are and they're paying for that instruction that this is somehow going to work out for you some say oh it didn't work out give me another thousand dollars and we'll see you next month and that continues so these these these players who are being who are holding on to hope and a dream that they're going to someday miraculously become uh an international talent it's a lie it and and i feel bad for those those kids because they're being told that they're going to be something that they're not and they're paying through the nose
to try and get somewhere that they're never going to get.
And the rest of the world doesn't do that, Dan.
We just basically say, no, that's my professional opinion.
Go do something else.
You're 16 and go do something else for us too late.
That kid who's 16 and is untalented in America will stay all the way until the collegiate process, make a determination of whether I want to go to college or be a pro.
And then it just fizzes out.
We don't,
identify our real talent package them together even though we have a national team i think i could put together a group of 16 17 year olds and beat our national team that's just me maybe i'm being arrogant i don't know but i think we just don't do it the right way we involve way too many people we charge too many people and we should be thin in the herd finding the talent and lock it in on that if we ever did that dan we'd win the world cup you bring up and you mentioned money a few times
No.
It's Groundhog Day every four years.
Right.
And that's usually you and I. When you call me every four years, then we rehash this thing.
I'm so honored to be on the show twice in a month, by the way.
