MLS is a barrier for development.
Not for latin and South America. The MLS has been great for their young players.

Yup, it’s weird because American managers will play young foreign players but not young Americans as much.
Presumably you don't think that's because they are playing players they believe are better to try to win more games and help the manager, so what is your reasoning for that? They are getting bribes from other federations? They are anti-American and want to see soccer fail in a country that they draw a salary in? What?
You are correct but it is also correct that there is a known anti-US player bias in terms of international clubs. Part of it has to do with limits on work permits part is that most US players are behind the development curve vs their peers.
And CP needs to be in the center of the park else we spend the next decade watching opposing side maraude up and down the opposing side and either denying him the ball or pinning him against the sideline. Give him at least 4 options on every touch.

Along with Mexico which almost always plays in CONMEBOL. Double whiff? Japan, and get this, Qatar, invited to participate.And now we aren't playing in the tournament. Big whiff
We would only have been able to send a B team or an under 23 anyway. Oh well.
Actually the plan was to send the B team to the Gold Cup. The Confed Cup is probably going away.
actually the problem is that the USA and Mexico would not have FIFA date clearance and would be left with domestics only. The Gold Cup would have gotten the A team either way.
We sent a B team down there in the 2000s and it really irked Conmebol.
