Weird to see MF say ‘kids not interested in US Nat team scouts, HS is better’ in one post and then ‘congrats to alumni on getting a call up’ in another post. Is it the same Douche Bag posting?

And for a NE player - very very rare - there were zero on the latest U20 roster. Zero.

Hard to believe that PDA a strong north east club does not place any players on NT rosters why is that?

And if they are a young freak of nature playing up, they probably have to come from a gda club because us soccer needs to have at least some players come from the gda or what is the point?

Shouldn’t they just look to id the best players regardless of where they come from? This whole gda/ECNL or whatever else league should be irrelevant

Each is age group appropriate- and generally the net is pretty wide in younger age groups.
US Club and ODP program have some alternative structures - PDP, ID2, ODP regional team/camp. Nat team scouts come to those events too.
The easiest way to be noticed is through the GDA games - scouts go see these games a lot. The training center invites are also meant for GDA teams. When PDA left GDA the spots reserved to PDA players started to dry out.

If it is a statement it is false. NT quality players are not gravitating to MF. Better players are leaving MF. Also NT quality players are extremely few and far between.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThat is all well and good but none of that seems to forecast playing on the real first team. Those are carrots doled out among the various clubs who each get to promote a few young players. The players are all good but not ultimately headed for NT service. It is just how the system greases the wheels.
