Look up Dalton high school we’ve had multiple #1 ranked soccer teams in the nation went undefeated from 2013-15 as well as undefeated seasons in 2019 and 2021 and in the last 9 years have won 5 state championships
I highly doubt it. High school soccer is easy. If you're not dominating in high school, there's so many other kids already killing in high school that don't make it, so chances are too low and you might as well be realistic and start thinking about your 9-5 career.
@@jacobyarotskiy5448He's not wrong. High school soccer is not that great. Only your best high school players play at the college level which isn't a large percentage. The college level makes high school look like a joke and it only gets more and more difficult from there. Unless you are playing on an academy team from a young age and are extremely talented, your chances of having a stable career from soccer alone, especially in the US, is very, very low.
The levels are insane no disrespect to these two teams but when I was in camp trying out for dortmunds academy the youth played like this and these are adults here 💯
I mean... One is one of the best academies in Europe (and practically the world) for youth development and the other is an American hs football team. I don't play in teams half as cohesive as them but clearly one is going to be better than the other.
@@anmol3457 He is giving a personal example. You don't have to be in Dortmunds academy to learn a certain level of play. All European youth academies are the same and also amateur clubs in Europe teach their youth the same lessons. In The Netherlands you will be taught Total Football even if you are playing in the lowest divisions. There is also no guarantee that you are truly of the highest class when playing at these youth academies. There are always many academy teams that don't even play in the top divisions but some divisions below. Though of course most talented youth will end up at a big academy. If you are Dutch you basically want to go to the Ajax academy no matter what but they have super high standards and don't even accept a lot of kids if they don't have certain specific traits and talents even if quite a few of them will end up pro or even greats.
Navy/Black team has a lot more cohesion and I can see the style of play. White has a lot of players that can create on there own but systematically lacked a lot of fluidity. Both GKs had a howler.
I find this game to have a lack of chances on goal created by either team in any significant number. It’s fine to hold the ball but the few chances each time had rarely amounted to as little as threat.
@@redbeardcreative It's just pressure. American sports strategy is to get great physical ability or attributes, for soccer, stamina and speed, and just outpressure opponents til they make a mistake that they can capitalize on. Not a lot of creative passes, dribbling, just pressure pressure pressure.
@@nile7999physical abilities, speed, stamina is what all footballers need. Nothing uniquely American about it just watch EPL. Also gengenpress just looks sloppy at a non professional level plus the editing doesn’t help.
I’ll be honest it’s one of the better games of football I’ve watched coming out of an America school but it’s comparable to year 7 football in England. Very scrappy. 70% of the game played in the middle of the pitch. Like watching a game of tennis going back and forth. It’s getting better though!
@@H0tPickupsthe epl has some of the most talented and creative players itw what are you talking about? (kdb, salah, bernardo silva, bruno fernandez, maddison, rice, and literally hundreds more)
Decent level. The problem is if we compare with other nations for example here in Argentina at that age they already debuted in 1st division. Aguero, Maradona, Messi: all debuted at 16. This is normal here. The american youth development system is fundamentally at a disavantage. In order to compete at international level, kids must train at clubs from a young age. High schools simply dont have the expertise or resources.
Are you assuming all these kids are going to be the future of US soccer? The best young American players are in European clubs, and the best players in the US play for academies, not their high school team.
I think that the vastly improved quality of HS soccer in the US is indicative of how much better then youth game has become. If these guys are playing at HS, it suggests they are less likely to be playing for academies or other pathways to the next level. Sometimes, you know how much better the top has become by seeing the improvement in the middle. I coach HS soccer and while it is in a much smaller area than these two HSs, this game shows significant promise (not saying sufficient progress, but improvement). I grew up in So. California at a very large school. In that 20 year period, the game looks so much better.
@@bayazwow I am assuming this is the path some US soccer players take to get to professionals. Play for HS then for Uni, no? I seriously doubt high school teenagers are moving to EU just to try out for pros. Maybe some do, but you dont see too many Americans in EU youth divisions. What do you mean by academies? Football Clubs?
It’s very chaotic. Are these kids playing on a smaller pitch compared to the one in Europe? That could be an explanation. This was actually a good showcase of talent. I think these kids could compete with the academy kids back in Europe if they always played against one or two years younger teams. I am actually presently surprised by the level of play.
Yeah, sidelines only go five yards past the 'American football' lines. So the pitch is only 60 yards wide. Normal for most American high school soccer pitches, which kinda sucks
I think a lot of them were uncomfortable on the artificial grass. But I see some of these players giving back passes like they are on the opposing team with no eye for the goal whatsoever. In many European nations you get called out for this behavior almost immediately. It's tricky of course because you have to be a very good player to always think about going forwards but it's also a fundamental basic of the game in Europe and South America.
@@coryCucare you a dad of one of the guys on the team?😂 Relax, both teams have mostly quite good players, be unbothered by people's critique on UA-cam.
Just an honest comment, as soon as player with the ball is pressed with 2 or more people it becomes very Bot like especially when both teams can’t keep possession (At certain & specific instances. Not all game)
They have the athleticism and they have the pace, the grey/white team pass the ball way too much though and they overly rely on their wingers/midfield, both teams are also lacking a true striker/forward, this seems more of coaching problem though, we have to remember these are still kids, I can’t speak about much else cause obviously this is the only video I’ve seen, they show plenty of skill but if their coach does nothing to focus in on the specifics and on positions then they’ll just get lost in the game.
Bro they need to pass way more. They try to force the ball way too much since they lack the technical skills. They play a very American way using their athleticism to hide their technical abilities. The coach cant do too much since most of the players are playing at another main club or academy at different levels.
@@JJJJ-vn1ixdifference between efficient passing and just useless passing. Shouldn’t be passing the whole game but also shouldn’t be constant through balls and send-and-chase. Should be a mix between the two but being smart when to control it and when to find the opportunity and take it
Drives me nuts seeing soccer played on a frigging football field with turf instead of a proper pitch.
Then build them a proper pitch " then. What are you complaining about on UA-cam for. Get to building.

@@claudejeremiahgreengrassHe's not triggered. He's got a point. Why complain in a UA-cam comment section when you can build it yourself? 🤷🏽♂️
