Wisconsin TE Jacob Harris: "This is a message. The Badgers are back. We’re not going to roll over. This is historically a top-dog program. We’re looking to get back to that. That’s what the fans deserve. That’s what the community deserves. That’s what we’re going to give them."

#Wisconsin Football between the start of the season in 1997 thru 2024 season, the Badgers were NEVER a dog of 20+ pts. They are +20.5 vs #NotreDame on Sunday & this will be the 4th time in the last 7 games dating back to last year Wisky is a dog of 20+

In Germany, a talented 14-year-old earns his club money. In America, his parents pay the club $15,000 a year. That single inversion explains why "we will not" is the most accurate line ever written about US soccer. FIFA built a global system for this. Training compensation and solidarity payments send a cut of every transfer fee back to the clubs that developed the player, from age 12 onward. Develop one future pro and your academy gets paid for a decade. Barcelona's La Masia, Ajax, every Bundesliga academy runs on this logic. The kid is the asset. US Soccer refuses to enforce those rules. When Seattle's Crossfire Premier claimed its $60,000 share of DeAndre Yedlin's transfer to Tottenham, it got nothing. Claims on the Dempsey and Bradley transfers died partly because the federation couldn't even produce the youth training records. So American clubs earn zero dollars when a kid turns pro. They earn when a kid enrolls. Which makes the parent the customer, and the product is whatever keeps the parent writing checks: travel tournaments, hotel weekends, $500 showcase events, private training at $100 an hour. Elite pathways run $8,000 to $20,000 a year. A comparable academy spot in Italy costs about 120 euros. Follow the incentive one level deeper and it gets darker. A club dependent on fees can't cut its weakest paying players, so rosters optimize for retention over development. The scouting pool shrinks to families who can afford the cliff, which appears around age 11, exactly when development matters most. The country runs a talent filter sorted by household income instead of ability. Every four years someone proposes fixing this. The proposal always requires the people profiting from the $15,000 model to vote themselves out of business. They will not.

“And every four years when the World Cup comes around, we will say that we’d dominate if we had a stronger youth program.” “And will we develop a stronger youth program?” “We will not.”

@Amaas23 Absolute back breaker! Norway is fun with Haaland and they are a smaller country. France is dominant. Argentina for Messi but they just won! No to England lol.

Best USMNT from a talent perspective, but STILL not anywhere near good enough to actually compete with the giants. Need big upgrades in defense and GK.

@Amaas23 Beat ourselves tonight. Easy easy game for Belgium. It’s a shame because we could have at least competed against them.

Maybe making travel soccer even more expensive will help the US finally get good.

@Amaas23 In general it’s 90 min plus stoppage time. Some books offer 120 minute (overtime included) lines. Otherwise you could pick “to advance” to include PK result
