Great post about the development of American youth players, the obstacles they face when it comes to joining youth academies abroad and Christian Pulisic specifically.
My hot take on this:
1. Either Fifa relaxes it's rules on minors playing abroad.
2. We get our own youth systems up to par with Europe (which is impossible in the short run)
3. Eliminate pay-to-play and centralize youth development. (also very difficult)
