Amen for the truth being told by Jurgen Klinsmann on World Cup wrap-up show after the England/Germany match on the state of U.S. soccer and the future.
Upside down pyramid!!! The U.S. has got to develop soccer amongst the lower classes (poorer, low-income communities) much as the rest of the world does. We have to reach out to the Hispanic community and the inner-city kids to truly progress on the world stage. Pay-for-play hinders this movement and certainly many a case can be made that Academy and ODP absolutely does not recognize ALL of the top talent and is often merely awarded to kids whose parents can put them in the "right environment" to succeed.
Personally, I hope Klinsmann becomes our next coach and I have been a fan of Bradley and most appreciative of what he has done for our national team, but believe he's taken us as far as he can go.
