I didn't make the statement--read the thread--IH8KATZ and Backscreen did, I just repeated it. How can you call the youth development of arguably our best national player irrelevant? Man, are you playing with blinders on! I didn't tear into the Academy program, I applauded it. Couldn't help but notice you didn't want to address Pele's development or the Brazilian example I brought up. If you have time, look up David Beckham's youth background and the circumstances he had to overcome. Go ahead--spend your money. See where you are in a few years---ODP,--Super Y--Academy--?
