@espn Did he predict that BALOGUN can get the worst red card ever from a Ref who can NOT use slow-motion video to re-referee a play that shows 2 big bodies playing the game hard with incidental contact? 🤔 If so, I protest this bracket and expect you to use article 27 via FIFA portal?

In Germany, a talented 14-year-old earns his club money. In America, his parents pay the club $15,000 a year.

That single inversion explains why "we will not" is the most accurate line ever written about US soccer.

FIFA built a global system for this. Training compensation and solidarity payments send a cut of every transfer fee back to the clubs that developed the player, from age 12 onward. Develop one future pro and your academy gets paid for a decade. Barcelona's La Masia, Ajax, every Bundesliga academy runs on this logic. The kid is the asset.

US Soccer refuses to enforce those rules. When Seattle's Crossfire Premier claimed its $60,000 share of DeAndre Yedlin's transfer to Tottenham, it got nothing. Claims on the Dempsey and Bradley transfers died partly because the federation couldn't even produce the youth training records.

So American clubs earn zero dollars when a kid turns pro. They earn when a kid enrolls. Which makes the parent the customer, and the product is whatever keeps the parent writing checks: travel tournaments, hotel weekends, $500 showcase events, private training at $100 an hour. Elite pathways run $8,000 to $20,000 a year. A comparable academy spot in Italy costs about 120 euros.

Follow the incentive one level deeper and it gets darker. A club dependent on fees can't cut its weakest paying players, so rosters optimize for retention over development. The scouting pool shrinks to families who can afford the cliff, which appears around age 11, exactly when development matters most. The country runs a talent filter sorted by household income instead of ability.

Every four years someone proposes fixing this. The proposal always requires the people profiting from the $15,000 model to vote themselves out of business.

They will not.

Folarin Balogun is shown a red card and the US is down to 10 players.

[Craig A Corbett @CACorbs]

@FOXSports @FOXSoccer V A R got it wrong! Yellow card at worst so we can all move ON! Instead, the Refs are collectively egregious here with NO reasonable official taking charge to get it right!!! Just remember, there’s NEVER A WRONG TIME TO DO THE RIGHT THING!!!!”
