Been reading dis board for months, and finally decided to post. First, lemme say good job by the moderators and hello to everyone on this board. About division I college ball, it is definitely higher than SSFL, and anybody who say so doh really believe that, or the schools they see play getting 12 every game. I would say they would give PFL teams a hard run for they money though. It is not at all pretty to watch, but it tough and effective. It is designed mostly to win at all costs. When I watch my school (Clemson) play, yuh cyar even pick out more that 3 men you will go to see. Is simply big, strong, fast men playing to win and not to conceed goals,. That is how americans play "soccer" and it is reflected in the MLS. That is not how we are taught, and our players get lost in between what we know and what we are taught at college level. Right now a youthman who serious about football should stay in trinidad if he want a contract. Opportunities have increased exponentially in trinidad. The system here ain't designed to push thru trinidadians anyway. As some a alyuh said before, men leaving out football after getting their degrees. Also, european teams look for men from 17-21 in Trinidad rather than from college football or MLS at the age of 22-23.
