There's a maximum of three cups available each year (four if you count the CCL I guess). There are 22 teams in the league and that's only getting higher. A maximum of 1 in every 5-6 teams can win something a year. People are always going to get restless when we don't perform but we can't seriously expect to win something every year or two just to keep us all from ticking over.

what we really need is for some WASPs to start throwing their money around to build up our academies.
We just need US Soccer to throw around their money. Money from the term you used (which to be consistent, I must suggest you no longer use as its origins are insulting) is a big part of the cuurent problem, aka pay-to-play.
If Gio Reyna and David Villa are both on the first team, I think Reyna should take the free kicks. Hot take.
So it’s only WASP money that’s a problem? I really think you have been trolling everyone in this thread the whole time at this point.
ETA: Also, I don’t think WASP is offensive. It offends me that you think anyone should be offended by being called an Anglo-Saxon Protestant. And beyond that, it’s an actual socio-cultural group, man.
This is how I know you’re trolling.

be careful, the fact that you find it offensive that he finds it offensive may lead to my favorite political debate facebook catch phrase:
"if you dont agree with my post unfriend me"
Didn't realize that was a thing. I have almost all of my fb friends on ignore.
Also, I don't ever go on facebook unless they come up with a new notification that I have to go figure out how to turn off.
I can't speak for everyone, but back when all the presidential debates were going non stop on my feed, people my age were arguing as if they knew what the fuck was going on. then 30 messages later of going back and forth between why each person thinks trump is or isn't a racist, i'll let you guess which one hit em with the "if you don't agree i'll unfriend you" (or unfriend me) both were thrown around loosely.
the popcorn industry was in fact, booming. memes were soaring like bitcoin.
what a time to be alive
I got nothing to add except this is a great turn of phrase for the moment.
Some really good skill on show in that video, I enjoyed that. For some reason the thing which stood out for me most, though, was the bit at 1:59 when you can hear some kid off camera sing "we love you Nor-wich City"
Great segment on HBO Real Sports on Tom Byer, who worked in Japan on building youth development. He’s also been hired in China. He has one program with US Soccer in the state of Washington. His manta is ball mastery from a very, very young age. If you have HBO Go, or can watch the segment check it out.

Looks legit. But it’s way off CFG branding as all other clubs would have the handle be NYCFCAcademy. That is another twitter account so they probably couldn’t work out a deal with the other party for the name. We probably won’t see a verification check similar to NYCFCHelp but it’d think it’s a good follow. NYCFCAcademyTV is run by a parent and has quicker information and media.
