With academies and other youth developments being restructured, I'm hoping that will come to a change. It's been a while since I looked into the changes but I remember reading that futsal would be introduced which would certainly help address some issues. The coaches that will be touring youth academies around the would for a year or two, might be what really gives the US that push. So you might have to give the MLS another shot in a few years
I feel that it's definitely on it's way to becoming a feeder system. Then you have NYFC coming in. I'm looking forward to those NY Derby's. I like to stay optimistic about these things.
Oh and Happy Father's Day to you and also the other father's in this thread and NT
Oscar
For someone who looks more frail than Neymar, he nearly didn't get as much **** as for people saying that he wouldn't be able to handle the physicality in Europe. Certainly did more than hold his own. 
Borini scoring for the U21 side

Thanks Mastamind89.
I hope Isco gets to another team. I know the RM guys on the U21 team are recruiting him.

Gonzo to Arsenal is all but done from what I'm hearing.
Still at least 2-3 more signings.

If Pellegrini gets Isco to Man City, I'm going to have to get my son his shirt. The new Nike home Citizens shirt is nice...

Ethiopia has definitely improved recently.
Currently 1-1 South Africa
If it stays like this, they'll be top of the group with 1 game to go in WC qualifiers...
Not bad...

You also watched two of the worst teams in the league play though, not saying MLS is a great league but Toronto and DC are god awful, I couldn't watch Stoke City play Sunderland in a regular season match and gauge talent
. There's a few teams who play some fairly attractive soccer like Portland, Montreal, LA. It's still only 17 yrs old as well, in the next 5-10 it'll improve dramatically with more emphasis being put on youth academies and whatnot...I take it for what it is though a nice league plus its cool to have a hometown squad I can root for, like every big 4 sport, beyond my favorite Euro sides

I was gonna say...
I've got MLS Live, watch at least parts of most games. I didn't go anywhere near that one.
Portland/Dallas was good, tho. Porter doing great things in Portland. They play the best football in the league, by far.

I live in SA now...moved here years ago...
Pienaar retired from national duty to focus on club footy. Makes sense...age wise, and truth be told the national squad are awful
They just failed to qualify today for WC

I see, so what's your nationality?
I won't be able to watch any of the matches today due to work
I want El Sharaawy to score today, my Mexican friend who taught me how to play football got mad when I told him they were gonna lose at least 2-0 today
Uruguay-Spain should be good as well, I think that will end 1-0 but I don't know who will win.

Yea, it seems that way. i guess no Jovetic. Clearly Juve is gunning for the CL
@bbcsport_david Arsenal priority a top cf. Higuain 1st choice & keen. #Afc also want 1 holding + 1 attacking mdf. No df unless any leave. Not in for Rooney.
Interesting words from the journalist.
I would hate to see Isco at City

Until Ronaldo really leaves I don't see why RM are not focusing more on Suarez and less on Bale
