Hispanic Teams The Best

Yep. You are way off. At least as it concerns me.

Club soccer, the DA...it doesn't matter. I pay the fees with eyes wide open. I truly love the discipline, dedication, love, and fight my son has developed for soccer and his team. Add that to the friends he has made and the experiences he has shared...I find it is rather inexpensive.
I don't care about the cost either, my daughter likes it and it keeps her busy.
I still don't want to pay for someones kid to play because they are poor and special. That is all I am getting at.
We will check out DA next year and see if it fits.
 
Interesting fact: Costa Rica has a population of 5M people (120th largest population in the world) just schooled the USA 2-0 and 4-0 (last year's game). Costa Rica's soccer male population is roughly 700k (rough estimate) compared to USA's 2.5M Our issue is not infrastructure, or lack of athletes. Our problem is that we have a pay to play and lack of consistency in our player development process. Costa Rica has outperformed the USA at the recent world cup competition.
