There is 100% no chance I will ever stop with the insults, because the evidence is so overwhelming that you fail at "listening". You "hear" well enough, but you don't "listen".
You see, inadequate and backwards are two totally different things. Inadequate means that there are several areas of deficiency. Backwards means that results aren't being gleaned...and that is plain wrong. What would you feel is a reasonable level for Canada to be at, at say, the U12, U13, U14, 15, 16 levels? Ranking wise? Keep in mind, we are not a footballing first nation, and we have no PDL for our kids to aspire to. What level do you feel is reasonable in these circumstances?

@trece verde no he doesn't which is why it is so odd he runs into the net to play keeper to start every time....I think it allows him some free time to day dream about minecraft or the ipad.
Either way, being the good parent I am, I usually yell at him when no one is looking or listening to get the @#$%^$ out of the net. Seems to work...

Then there is no point in continuing a conversation with you if you will keep insulting.
I do "here" and "listen". In my opinion you do not provide enough solid and convincing evidence to change my observations that by U12 our kids are already behind their peers in the Americas.
@Soccer Coach you done yet?
Anthony Totera'show tonight.
I'm on near the end of the show.

So I missed this. Here it is for those that want to hear.
@Soccer Coach, you shouldn't listen. You will only be angered by Jigsaw's accent, LOL.
I remember sitting and watching that Canada vs. Australia match, and tears running down my face in extra time as the chance to advance was lost. That was a heart breaker.

This was awesome, thanks.
@Soccer Coach, this is what I've been trying to get you to understand. Most of what we are discussing we agree on. What you fail to acknowledge is that others around you "get it" already, you are kind of preaching to the choir.
But again, for the life of me, how you can state that a Domestic league isn't at least equally important to strengthening the grass roots level is beyond me.

Fresh off the jocksniffer forum: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/sep/13/mls-canada-american-citizens
Captain Shamrock (does he even post here anymore???) called this out years ago, and he was bang on right: the MLS would make no difference on the Canadian Soccer scene. I don't know if he knew as much about the MLS Domestic Player policies, and the CSA essentially giving away rights for three franchises w/ out getting a solid Domestic Player mandate in return, but it is fcuking criminal.

Thanks for posting that. Won't lie I actually had no idea that Canadian players were treated as international when playing in the US. I also had no idea that MLS rosters restricted the amount of International players. I just assumed that the salary cap took care of that.
It also explains why the ball is in the air for 90% of MLS games and each game is a track meet.
Reading this you do appreciate more the need for a Canadian league. There is literally no where for the majority of academy players to go.
Although I had a vague idea of this issue before, this article was a bit of a eye opener.
Maybe I should stop yelling at my son to get the $%$^&% out of the net and perhaps look for a career as a goalie.

In some people's minds, professional domestic opportunities is not a big problem. It is every bit as big a problem, if not moreso, than grassroots development- at this stage, anyhow. There is no sense in us even sinking another penny into grassroots if we don't have a clear pathways for opportunity on the other end.

Great stuff Jigsaw
I had my first experience with U6 boys soccer on the weekend and my first thought was at that age they should encourage zero contact. All I saw was one or two boys aggressively pushing getting every ball and the rest of the boys taking turns crying. Not sure any of the kids are getting anything from that.
I didn't see any ice cream but I'll let you know if that changes.
