@Schultz215Dan@LesBowen Sure didn’t seem terribly interested and Coach seemed to agree he didn’t have it last night. He is by far their biggest weapon and they opted not to even have him on field
Imagine how we’d feel if our biggest star looked tired and we took him out in the. Biggest moment. Come on man- Haaland you need to want it more #fifaworldcup
@KylePagan_ Agree- finding talent in more places with kids of all income, not just at courtyard marriotts on weekends for expensive travel ball. And maybe focus on skills development in PLAYERS and not just winning games in tournaments
Time to rethink how USA develops young soccer talents- maybe fewer ritzy travel clubs where a few people make lots of money and opt for real talent hunting for the best kids wherever they are (and no matter how much their folks make) - @landondonovan make it happen!
@SeanGreeneWDEL@landondonovan Baseball might be most clear cut example- so few kids can make the big leagues unless they play expensive travel ball plus Dominicans who just live and breathe the game
@SeanGreeneWDEL@landondonovan Landon Donovan grew up broke and only succeeded because he was sought out and got some financial help. The stars are out there. We need to find them. Think Landon, Venus, and Serena and lots of others
@SeanGreeneWDEL@landondonovan I’m just saying it’s time to looks beyond just the kids who come from families that can afford loads of long weekends on road trips for tourneys.
@SeanGreeneWDEL@landondonovan I think there’s room for both sports- lots of soccer kids aren’t huge and strong like a linebacker or quarterback. Cavan Sullivan for example doesn’t look like he’d be a good football player
@SeanGreeneWDEL@landondonovan We need to look harder and start them younger. Find good kids earlier and get them into good programs and they’ll play soccer in high school- or better yet at a pro team’s academy system
