There we go again with a bunch of excuses, it's excuses all the time,why can't we just accept that we are not ready,someone mention that we are always playing catch up and they are right.
It's a matter of styles all these countries or teams that do well in Football have develop their own style or way of playing and America is no different,they don't try to play like anyone,they have their own system,education system etc to work here you have to do it their way,they not following anybody,is either you like it or stay away from it.
What's good about it is they are successfull with it and that's what matters.If you come here you will observe some of the best Coaches are right here and not only locals but foreigners,these people take nothing for granted.
I'm around Football all my life at all different levels and is one thing that still affecting it,a lot of talk, everyone knows the problems but action time there is no one,that's why JW has the position he holds because he is the only one with the guts and belly to do so.
