Pretty unbelievable really. The one full time US Scout blatantly lies while trying to cover up the fact that he’s pretty bad at his job and there is no recourse. He should’ve been fired immediately.

Presumably because his mind was already made up
Also saw an article with some choice quotes from Hercules Gomez I think it was, saying that there's a perception that US Soccer is institutionally biased against hispanic players & duels in general
The 2nd part is basically confirmed, as the previous time y'all struggled there was much griping about duels not caring due to not being real 'Murrricans etc
In that same Gomez article it was claimed that Richie Williams gave Gonzalez a 10 minute ultimatum to accept a place in Bradenton when he was 14 years old after he and his father asked for some time to think things over.
I haven’t really paid much attention at all to how US Soccer has been run but the more you read and find out the more astonishing it is to learn how inept the entire organization is. There needs to be a major shakeup from top to bottom.
