I haven't read all the posts about this topic, so don't know if someone has mention this, but why does soccer seem to get no breaks. baseball teams use high school fields for out of season. basketball uses gyms for aau so why do we have all this rules for soccer. i don't like the rule that we have to wait till the end of jan. to begin training with a ball. american football is allowed spring practice. no wonder we can't win consistantly against the world powers. american soccer has to much politics mix in that hinders us from success.
