@TKsMantis The PCgamer article “Obsidian vice president of operations Marcus Morgan and vice president of development Justin Britch” they apparently said it there. But it’s really the only mentioning. Also I suppose you argue Tim Cain talked about it on his YouTube buts that’s it

@NextGenPlayer Isn’t it just an assumption that only 500k would unsubscribe? I wouldn’t be surprised if closer to 10% did

@LegacyKillaHD I just think they gave up hope of ever making one because they kept getting denied by Phil/protecting todd. Feargus has always wanted to make a new one. I assume Asha just told Todd, get over it and we need a new one. So I think the team will at least be interested in doing it

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.

@NickRTFM 😂😂😂 Pick get em

[kota serrill @KSerrill]

@dawnbraekers He’s already gone thankfully. Wasted another WC for another incredible team

[kota serrill @KSerrill]

@NickRTFM The midfield was terrible but to say Martinez isn’t fallible for having abysmal tactics is crazy. Martinez did this with Belgium and it happened again with another talented team. Not surprising

[kota serrill @KSerrill]

@AdamJoseph lol didn’t make sense cause then literally they make the perfect Cunha chance for Endrick and he whiffs it lol

[kota serrill @KSerrill]

@ChrisMorgan205 @SimplyUtd Lmao the only people who actually miss Woodward are the doofus’s who want “big signings.” People who actually care about the growth of United are okay with how it’s going. Woodward was trash at the smaller signings 95% of the time.

[Erling Haaland @Erling]

Well well well 😂

@DeadlineDayLive @Djaameel_ Who is listening to the randomness lol

[kota serrill @KSerrill]

This game is the exact reason why expanding the WC(without diluting too much) with a few more teams is beautiful and important. Cape Verde pushed the previous champions to the limit. They showed everyone why we love sport. It can inspire the next nation to be here and be great.

@Miles35545635 @utdcynical Yea most of the match and then he essentially has to pick up Ronaldo’s slack in the center. So he can’t roam much and instead is sterile creatively in the middle in a CF’s position because that’s not what he is.

[kota serrill @KSerrill]

@AntonioRamsay32 @Nick28T Yep and then Goncalo Ramos scoring now had literally nothing to do with what Martinez wants. Leao just didn’t have many options and just decided to throw in a random cross to Ramos who was DOUBLE TEAMED. It was a great cross but lucky

[kota serrill @KSerrill]

@utdcynical Martinez is awful

[kota serrill @KSerrill]

@Tim_GrizzAFCA @FutSheriff It’s more on Martinez than CR7. The tactics are fucking abysmal. They have some of the most technical players on the planet and they play like chickens who’ve lost their heads because there’s no impotence on creativity

[kota serrill @KSerrill]

@WolfRMFC Yea it’s not the players. Martinez’s tactics are trash. It makes more and more sense that this continues. He did this with Belgium and now this squad. It’s embarrassing. I watch Bruno almost every match. He looks sterile because I guarantee Martinez tells them not to be creative

[kota serrill @KSerrill]

lol Roberto Martinez is one of the luckiest mid managers ever. lol bro got to manager Belgium’s golden generation and this incredible Portugal side and I watch them back pass more than Arsenal. It’s embarrassing how bad the tactics are
