Git gud.
Not that hard. Concentrate best talents in a few places and have these teams play each other. Can even be highschools because doubt support for a gazillion little clubs will grow organically. Those schools would need to fund a competitive program; infrastructure is rather cheap, travel to other top schools might be a hurdle, have to make sure youth coaches know their trade and are properly supported by the FA (best practices, teaching materials/methods, etc. all in line with the FA's vision). US athletes tend to shine in physicality, combine that with better technique and you're halfway there. As long as the US are whipping boys... need to git gud first.

Americans need to give up the mentality that athleticism is everything like they do with other sports, it doesn't work like that in soccer. Americans probably think a national team that looks like France is ideal but it's not and a good soccer team needs high IQ white players like you see in Spain and Argentina.

Everyone should be trained in football since childhood and you pick the most skilled children, ez

divegrass is about diving in the box for penalties and crying on the ground to waste time

Just get rid of pay to play for your academies and have more open lots or parks for children to play football since they can't play on your streets without getting run over. America is the only country where football isn't easily accessible from a young age

it's just a throwback that Adidas is throwing out without the permission of the USMNT which is why it doesn't have their logo on it and the stars are different unfortunately
I don't hate the kit we're going with though

That's horribly wrong. Mexico first off is like that so are most Yuropoor countries. Second off, soccer is actually very accessible up until about age 10 then you gotta start paying for clubs. You can play for your high school team but by then they've already identified through the club system who is good and who isn't. What America needs is more creativity and flair versus the stiff robotic shit you see on teams like England or Italy. Our coaching leaves a lot to be desired too. The best coach in US history Bruce Arena had a lot of experience but the game has evolved and he is no longer ahead of the curve

You're thinking of it as getting into the system I'm talking about being able to casually play football. Most euro countries are filled with places where people can casually play football after school work. I don't mean accessibility in terms of playing for clubs I mean accessibility in terms of just being able to just get a ball and gather up some friends. How many of your suburbs or cities have areas for people to just casually pick up and play the game? If the only avenue of playing is through clubs or high school then you're severely limiting your player pool and killing any possibility of a football culture forming since a structure like that only incentivizes people who know they want to go pro in football from the get go to play the sport. Its also because of that why you have such stiff players too because all of your players are only coming from systems like that instead of from casually playing the game and developing a natural flair or the ability to read and understand the game outside of a trained system.

The lack of a proper larger pyramid system that goes all the way down into semi pro or amateur also kills any possible late bloomers america could have too
