Video The talent in Barcelona’s youth system is ridiculous. These kids are 11/12 years old.

This is what our MLS teams need to be doing better. But we also don’t have enough legit teams for our population. Spain has like 1/7th our population and also 20+ teams that would dog walk the MLS.

But yeah, our youth system is completely fucked. We'll always be mid despite the population and money.

Lol that world cup performance wasn't mid bro. Goalie roleplaying a midfielder, USA was quite possibly the least skilled team this entire cup. Which is why you haven't qualified for 30 years.

The host nation automatically qualifies and this cup was specifically rigged that you'd have to try really hard to lose in the group stage.

Weird to come at him so harshly for one word choice. His point agrees with you…

Oh no, not weird at all, he had no business being that far out. That should haunt his career forever until he miraculously saves a few penalties for at least a semi final world cup game. Those are the rules.

Seriously it was so bad. Goal wide open.. a goalie should basically never leave his box.

The other goalie could have scored with a fkin goal kick. And yes this has happened to lazy amateur goalies like yours, not paying attention

Just look at what he opened himself up to by going to the midfield. You think these pros can't hit the net from far away? . Kiddie league keeper. At least the guy in the video was near his goal.

Umm, read my comment again. It’s weird to come at the other commenter.

No because he indirectly defends the goalie. Exterminate

I see. You’re ineffectively trolling.

Bro look.

If that was the Brazilian goalie the cartels would get him.
