Is youth soccer the downfall of quality high school football?

That is definitely are solid point. However, how many of those individuals are there around the world? The US produces the tall freak athletes that other countries don't, but they don't play soccer. So I don't know if we can tell if they would succeed or not. It just seems logically that big and fast is superior to small and fast. Granted things that theoretically seem logical don't always work out that way. I just don't think we will be able to know until athletes like that begin to play soccer.

The MLS will have to change its rules if it is to develop into a top league in the world. Right now the MLS values the "fair" system that all major US sports adopt. i.e. worst teams get first draft pick, salary caps, and limited number of foreign players per team. In world soccer, the most wealthy teams are the ones who win, and they don't give a crap about the Charlotte Bobcats of the world.

On a side note, I love how the relegation and promotion system is set up worldwide.

I blame it on the soccer moms.
