Ummm, you do know how sports work in general, right?Why is it so awesome to most people that the US didn't make the World Cup?

If there's a Canada vs USA game then of course I'm supporting our national team over theirs but why do so many take joy in them not qualifying?
Don't we send our youngsters and best players to their colleges and leagues as it's better for development and competition? The states doesn't qualify for the WC so that kind of means their whole system from top to bottom isn't working. A system which we have looked at and we mimic somewhat from grassroots to MLS etc.
I've been watching some reactions from former US players and one thing that keeps on coming up is the "pay to play" system and how it is failing. Kids are playing because they are told too and can afford the costs but don't have the passion; and the kids who have the passion don't end up playing at the higher levels because they can't afford to. Is that happening here?
Yes.

For a brief second, let's pretend I don't.
Hope Man United has a very good game this weekend.
I hated those clowns for the stupid turtlenecks they wore. Jim Peplinski can suck a bag of dicksI hated the Calgary Flames because of that kicked in goal by Joel Otto in game 7 vs us Canucks in '88

(said no one ever who has been a kid with passion for a sport)
in relation to the pay to play, I reffed several of the super league U18 and U16 boys....quite amazing that all of the best players on the island had parents who at the very least had a BMW....but usually a Lexus......

Then it’s all seniority based usually, gonna have to wait a while for that position.You should have applied for a union job...
