I knew I would get responses like this as soon as I brought up soccer and was in no way trying to make people like soccer. I was simply using soccer as an easy analogy for how the development of players is different between the US and the rest of the world. I should have just used their basketball development because it uses the same model as their soccer programs in most cases but on a smaller scale. In many cases the soccer clubs also have basketball teams. Long story short the US is in the minority in the way it uses high schools/colleges to develop their athletes which is why when guys like Svoboda come to the states they have been playing for a pro team/club instead of a school.
