We were blessed to go back to Argentina for almost 5 years, we both got to play for clubs and didn't cost us a penny, 3rd world countries do things differently and it is not an accident that players like Pele, Maradona, Ronaldinho, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and so many others came to be, I'm not saying the US is doing it wrong because that would be laughable to say.
In places like Argentina, Brazil, Portugal, Spain, Italy etc etc talent is found in the streets, then they get picked up by scouts who's job is to find talent where nobody else looks and send them to be groomed by clubs to become professionals, some will become stars and few legends, in the US there isn't emphasis in looking for talent in the streets or Sunday leagues, they go look at college kids and hope to find something good there to recruit, I believe they're missing out on finding gems, if you look at all American professional players they all look like run of a mill, good enough but not great, US soccer can do so much better if they take a page of 3rd world countries scouting manual.

Mess with me you better kill me, or I'll just take your pride & joy and jack it up
